League of Legends season 11 was a meta that favored champions with a lot of innate burst potential in their kit. Hence, picks like Viego and Gwen were highly prioritized in both pro play and standard matchmaking.

However, from next season onwards, the developers will be introducing more counterplay to burst damage and allow squishy champions to have a better time in the game.
