As a support main, the one I run into most often on my lane is Leona. Stupidly high rewards for what essentially amounts to "can I hit E or (post-6) R" and insufficient counterplay in my opinion. And there's only so many times you can eat a level 2/3 all-in before it gets old, or watch her walk out from your turret on half health after CCing you under there for about 3 years before it gets old. As someone who still likes to play pure tanks on occasion, it's also depressing seeing a 3-item Leona out-tank me whenever she has W on when I'm at/near full build. To top it all off, the fact that almost all of the botlane supports have received nerfs since early S4 and Leona has received only a minor health regen nerf only salts (lol) the wound as she sits on her high pick-rate, high win-rate, success across all elos throne, virtually unmoved since the start of S4.

Riven's screwed-up power levels over the course of the game - lane bully into midgame menace into lategame threat - have always irritated me, and the fact that she seems to draw toxic players like flies to dung just adds to that. The artificial tankiness from her shield and high mobility make shutting her down hard, and if she has somehow lost lane she can often show up to a teamfight and double-tap R for clean-up and then suddenly she's "snowballed" and is a relevant threat again. One of the top contenders on my "nerf wishlist". I could go into more detail, but somehow I think others will cover this one too.

Lee Sin's kit is so damned oppressive with the sheer number of tools at his disposal that it's honestly hard to tell whether he's overpowered or not. People sometimes acting as if basic usage of his kit is some kind of LCS-level outplay only really adds to it: "And Lee Sin's going for the invade... misses his Q on the Nautilus there, fails to secure the enemy red buff with his Smite, hasn't yet noticed the midlaner collapsing, this could get ugly for him... OHHH! HE WARD-HOPPED OVER DRAGON WALL! THE OUTPLAYS!" Either way; his persistence as a top-tier jungler and virtual omnipresence meaning he's in a lot of the games, all the time, combined with the oppressiveness of his kit can sometimes make me saltier than the Dead Sea.

Yasuo is honestly not "overpowered" any more in my opinion given how hard he seems to lose almost every lane ever (the only way Riot seem have found to balance his kit, hinting at how atrociously designed it is), but the frustration of playing against him if he has somehow snowballed is almost unparalleled. You can't run: he has higher MS than you and can dash through minions and jungle creeps. You can't counterbuild him: he makes armor almost worthless through a combination of his ulitmate and Last Whisper, and health only lets him heal more from his BotRK active. Can you CC him? Welp, hope that's not on a projectile or some kind of skillshot he can just E away from, bro. Indeed, I once had a Yasuo apparently decide that my Grasping Roots as Zyra just didn't apply to him while he was Eing at all, even though he E'd directly along the path I shot Grasping Roots down. And yes: I died immediately afterwards. I was not best pleased.
