How can a champion be so weak, yet to insanely annoying to play against that most players still ban her?

How will they even balance a Champion like this without making some changes to her Ki? Because we can all agree they're not straight buffing a 70%+ Banrate character, even if she has 46% Winrate right?

Even ambessa didn't have this bad of a Banrate curve, and not only that, she was actually broken for 2 patches and had to get multiple nerfs, Mel was OP for 1 day

There's a bug with her spell recommendations logic where w max is being suggested 2nd that is tanking her winrate badly.

She also has a bit of a mastery curve, while also having a decent play against curve so it'll go up over time

We're monitoring how her frustration plays out and not overreacting for now, but have been testing a few changelist internally
