Don't forget about immobile champs

With more and more mobility champions being added, immobile squishies are becoming more and more vulnerable. If Riot wants to continue adding champions that blink all over the place and dash over walls like it's nothing, champions that are vulnerable if you get on top of them are naturally going to keep getting worse.

Take Vel'Koz. He has a 48% winrate and a pickrate under 1.5% because he has no mobility, is super squishy, and his only hard cc is an easy-to-dodge E. Champions like that are going to need changes if they're ever going to be good again. Adding ways to knock away enemies, making abilities launch them backwards Caitlyn-E-style, or even just buffing their health would be good ways to do this. As it is now, some of these champs almost automatically lose lane to assassins like Fizz even if these champions aren't great themselves.

I don't mean to sound angry or demanding with this post, I'm just concerned that immobile champs, some of which add a lot to the game, are going to go the way of the dinosaurs if something isn't done about this mobility creep.

Thoughts?

I do feel like mobile champions do not trade enough power for their mobility

Champions design went downside after Yasuo 's release. They kept trying to add more flashy plays. The exception is Velkoz and imo he's a perfectly designed mage.
