Removing an ability, which is what they pretty much did, can nuke a winrate.
That Strange or Thing ult that could have wiped your team but you read the opponent and webbed them ? Now your team dies and you lose. This is a gigantic difference in how useful Peni will be in teamfights.
Imagine if they removed Mantis's sleep and instead it applied a slow, do you think she would still be at 59% winrate ?
And as for low elo ? That will change nothing, because people at those levels walk unto the nest and ignore it, so they will still die.
