This is kind of a vent post, but also I just wnat things to make sense.

Gwen is a hyperscaler with a poor laning phase for an even stronger lategame, akin to other hyperscaler. Her having a bad early game, makes sense, espechially if shes moved to jungle to not face the danger of falling behind even more. That all makes sense. In theory.

Riot has made numerous champions viable in the jungle, a lot of them being midlaners and toplaners. Some with good, some with bad early games. I can get why you would weaken gwens clear, but why are some of the best junglers right now, and the past few patches, not made originally for jungle? Why are Qiyana and Zed able to clear the jungle still with an incredible speed? Why are some champions that do have a bad early, or a toxic roaming potential thats already pretty strong (talon, naafiri, quinn) brought to jungle and never changed. But Gwen isnt?

Even after changing her ratios. Even after tuning down her late game, even after nerfing her, dnd and gutting the base dmg on her ult?

I get that shes still a hyperscaler. So ehy are other hyperscalers just never nerfed. Why is smolder on 54% WR for such a long time, and they nerf BC plus giving him critbuffs without even watching how it turns out? Why is vayne allowed to freely scale on toplane, without most toplaners being able to do much against her? Why can jax lane incredibly good, but also jungle pretty well?

Even Gwens meta build on the statpages already changed to her assassin build, cause she just doesnt deal enough damage with her old bruisery build. Dusk and dawn feels like its meh on her too, it u dont fight for longer periods of time, lich just increasing your damage so much.

I know, gwen is still playable, but she feels weak. I get that you have to nerf her, if shes to strong with dnd, but why do you buff ekko and diana, who are one of the best users od the item? Why do you never buff her? Her Winrate is not strong?

What is Riots problem with her? Shes such a moneymaker in Wildrift and even Tft. People want to play her, but never can cause toplane is filled with champs that are stronger than her, tanks that cna outtrade her and whatever the fudge vayne, varus and anivia are.

Where are you supposed to play her? Midlane? I knwo she can succeed there, but really? You made her for top. Now you want to bring so many toplaners to jungle, but a champ that gets already played jungle isnt worth some compensation buffs? A bit more healing against monsters? Some combat potential? You being able to do at least solo drake without losing 90% of your hp bar?

Even Gwen OTPs say shes incredibly weak. I tried asking phroxzon, nicely, i tried again and again, but he never answered. I tried asking phreak, nicely, but he never answered. I dont want to ask rudely. I just wnat answers. Why does Riot do what they do? Why are other hyperscalers/toplaners brought to jungle/dnd user/ap assassins/drainfighter always treated better than her?

She doesnt have to be strong. But id like a wr thats about 50% at least. Ill keep playing her. Ill keep enjoying her. Ill keep being happy about her and any fanart i come across. Ill keep asking nicely. Please Riot, or anyone who could answer. I just seek answers to what you are doing, cause you cant just say one thing and do another.

Please, dont be rude to riots (bad) balancing team, but maybe, working together, we could get riot phroxzon to at least answer
