He seems innocent and looks like a good champ to target first in a gank, but lets take a look here: An IE-enhanced, AD-infested Parrley (a HUGE squishy killer if those factors are in place), his Scurvy (cockblock any debuffs/ganks on him and allow him to escape if done right), his Raise Morale and his Ult (anti-escape/finisher/saver) can combine to do some serious damage if worked in concert with what his/her teammates have. I have seen this happen quite a few times lately.
Though a bad GP player will make me facepalm.
Pretty much the problem with all 3 of those champs, is their requirement for excellent players to really use them well. Yi works well . . . if he's comes into the fight at the right time and is able to kill someone to chain his abilities, all it takes is one good burst and he's done in before he can even start if the other team is coordinated enough. Sivir can destroy towers like few others, and if left alone, decimate an entire team with her richochet + ult, but if she gets isolated or can only hit one person, she's far worse than almost any other ranged dps. GP can still be a pain in the ass to deal with if he has enough cd, lifesteal, and crit to spam his abilities, even after they removed his deny and made his ult terrible, but he really requires a great farm/getting uber fed to do the same things that other champions can do better, i.e Tyrn, Irelia, Jarvan, Renekton, etc. So assuming you have people who know what they're doing, they are all good champs, it's just that most of the time you won't get those people playing them . . . essentially making it a 4 v 5 except that 5th person is more of a feeder than an actual helper.
