That's not evidence that they're OP together - that's evidence that the pros believe they're OP together. They're just as vulnerable to their own biases as anyone else, and people generally lean toward hard numbers rather than actual performance. And no, professionals aren't less likely to do that unless they've trained  to notice that in themselves. There's a racing game where people argued endlessly over which cars were best due to them having stat screens despite them being coded to have the exact same handling and performance. Behold the power of hard numbers.

Still, when picking one, picking the other to deny synergy is just as valid as picking something to enhance your own. The entire game has moved hard from picking synergetic comps towards just winning the fucking lanes, which depresses me to no end.

Nerfing them doesn't even necessarily mean they're OP - they sometimes do it just to see them less often.
