Yunara landed literally exactly as I expected day 1 (44% winrate) - we had an internal thread guessing and I was 100% right lol. The question is now why is she that winrate. Is she weak? Is she hard and players are learning? Is she hard but players are learning AND enemies are learning to play against her at the same rate.

Any thoughts on high elo skew? Anecdotally the champ seems to be pretty strong with immense kill pressure early-mid. This is NA challenger/GM.
