Samira suffers from what I call the Yasuo Effect, and I don't know why
I define the Yasuo Effect as: a champion who seems to receive some type of unconscious cognitive bias by their team to not be treated as the 'win-con' in games where they are only one keeping their team afloat. A few years ago I remember vaguely a high elo streamer discussing this about yasuo, where they will find themselves in games where they are massively ahead with a clear angle to carry, but often will see their teams ignore them and/or play to weaker lanes/lower value plays with no clear explanation. On the otherhand, you will often see teams rally around traditional hypercarries like jinx or zeri, or laners like kayle, when they are clearly the win-con in games that would be lost otherwise. The streamer acknowledged that this isn't 100% specific to Yasuo, but that it feels like it happens significantly more to him due to his design and overall perception by the playerbase as a "dash around meme champ".
I feel this same issue falls upon Samira, due to design similarities, and simply based on my own anecdotal experience. I've played over a thousand ranked games of her from gold to diamond, and to this day I will find myself 6/0 in lane before 10 minutes, and for some reason my team will be failing their second gank/roam on an already losing top/mid lane, or getting grubs on weakside when we have permanent prio for drag. This can easily be attributed to a player(s) just being "bad", I guess, but due to sheer frequency of it I can't help but think, is being fed as samira just discounted because she isn't a common pick, and their power isnt as blatantly expressed as a jinx pumping dps from range for example? Or perhaps, it's my misunderstanding on how teams she be prioritizing lanes/win-cons? I don't know, but I wish I did.
Any thoughts on this or am I just delusional?
