I agree. Viability is a relative term. Champions in themselves do not determine their own viability, rather it is the environment that does. Item changes, other champion releases, champ buffs, nerfs, reworks, change the meta of the game. I for one do not think Riot creates 'underpowered or overpowered' champions (except maybe in the instance of Zyra's release), but it is how that champion reacts with the previously mentioned dynamics determining whether or not the champ sinks or floats. Why did Fizz (as well as other mobile assassins like Ahri and Zed to a lesser extent) not any recieve major changes since his release until now? It is due to the rise of burst assassins because of the changes of squishy mages and marksmen.

Oh yea...and I don't really know much about Olaf and top lane...that place intimidates me xD.
