Gwen overrated ?

I feel like Gwen is overrated. First of all, as everyone knows, her early game is weak—it’s not good. However, I think it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. In fact, I feel like her early game is somewhat underestimated. Sure, it’s not her strong point, but it’s not terrible either.

My main concern, though, is her late game, which is supposed to be her strongest phase—but I honestly think it’s overrated as hell. She’s way too squishy. Any champion with a decent late game can take her down 1v1. She doesn’t have enough health or resistances to survive against a decent opponent.

What’s worse is that if you miss her fully stacked Q even once, it’s game over. You don’t have the luxury of making mistakes. Meanwhile, champions like Yone can miss all their abilities and still kill you. The same goes for Darius, Aatrox, and plenty of others. With Gwen, missing one key spell can practically cost you the fight.

I also feel like her late-game damage is overrated. Even if she’s considered a late-game champion, by that point in the game, the enemy team will likely have built enough magic resistance to tank most of her damage.

This is coming from someone who plays her in the jungle, so maybe it’s because I get less XP there than I would in top lane. But even then, she just doesn’t feel as powerful as people claim she is—or as strong as she should be.

I’m mainly writing this to know what you think—whether you agree with me or not—and to figure out what I can do to improve. So if you have any advice, I’m all ears, because I really like the champion, but I feel like she’s absolutely terrible. (And no, I don’t want to play her in another lane.)
