@Weedlayer: Actually, that's true. Such things seem counter-intuitive at the first sight, but later on it has some unexpected expects.

Like Nidalee, Fizz and Viktor has been quite strong, but not many players know that. After Viktor's rework and Nid's/Fizz's buff the major players just realizes they are noob-stomping champions. And more players pick & ban, but generally that decrease the win-rate (after buff) - whilst some hypes floats around and they got a few nerfs soon.

On the other hands, some other champions which is used in competitive play (like LCS) is considered "strong" and become popular picks - then got repeated nerfs and become low viable in Solo Q. If I recall correctly that results in some words like "LCS syndrome" or "meta sheeps".

Regarding Kayle, I decided to stop playing her in 2 patches or so (5.13 & 5.14) - to practice Swain & Ryze.

(Rumors spread out that the head of Riot balance division mains Swain, and the Riot CEO mains Ryze - so they would be secretly OP even after tweaks/reworks)
