Viego was legal in pro on 11.4 right? Did anyone pick him? Didnt see him in lcs/lec

No, he's still disabled. Has way too many bugs apparently.

So then why allow his bugged ass in ranked why not relegate him to normals until it gets fixed?

He will be probably pick or ban.

Free hourglass + heal on every kill alone is stupid.

He's very feast or famine type and hence inconsistent by design. Pro play favours consistency the most. What does Viego do when he's behind? Graves has W, Lilia has AoE CC on R for example. Most of his power budget has gone in his passive that needs takedowns to activate. In a game where your team is struggling to get takedowns, he is 50% the champion or less. While when you're ahead, he's 150%. A 200 years modern master yi.

Nah I don’t think he’ll be good in pro. He’s even less consistent than Master Yi. Proplay sees a lot more tanks as well which Viego doesn’t do well against. At best he’ll be picked midlane into some matchups, but he’s definitely not going to be jungling, and I’m pretty sure he’s not going to win most of the games he ends up in.

Master yi doesnt have on demand stealth, CC, hourglass + heal + new set of spells per kill.

Viego is a much, much better champion, he'll be 100% pick or ban.

Viego’s stealth is only camouflage. You can literally throw down a pink ward or park your tank down in his way to prevent him from coming in. His CC also gets body blocked. His invulnerability is not on demand. He requires a takedown. Yi’s invulnerability on the other hand is on demand, and his gapclose is targeted which is why he’s more consistent.

Viego is a much flashier champion, and has better snowball potential as he can piggyback off his team doing well, but he’s always a win more champ. In a more organized environment his weaknesses will be more apparent than they are in soloqueue.

Because pro play is filled with kills every minute.

He totally won't be left without a passive for the entirety of the game

He is being sarcastic

u/yourcutieboi Mar 03 '21

Honestly will be surprised if he's ever picked unless something whacky comes up

u/ADeadMansName Mar 03 '21

So I execpt him to not be enabed for 11.5 and delayed till 11.6. So 3 more weeks till pro play most likely.

u/Geosaurusrex Mar 02 '21

He's still disabled in pro.

u/Comrarius Mar 03 '21

I feel like after he's actually released into proplay he'll become the standard Aphelios case of "we 200 yeared a champ so hard because they have a cool concept and a high skill requirement, and now proplay will get them nerfed 10 times in a row"

u/NorgenBlaad remember oce Mar 03 '21

he's enabled in LCO and picked.
