On the topic of Camille. I believe she is everything that bad champion design is.

I see a lot of people that often say "X Champion has an overloaded kit" and never really thought to much of it. However after Camille's release I really do think her Kit offers literally every possible solution to every situation and that is not good design at all.

I wan't to recap exactly what this Champion can do and why she is the new top ban.

Her passive givess her a Physical OR Magical shield, allowing her to adapt to any trade in lane not matter if its AP or AD. This gives her incredible dueling sustain.

Her Q: not only grants her Bonus Range and Movement Speed but it also does True damage This ability already has 2 things going for it on top of an Auto attack reset. The true damage is just so unnecessary. So now she can not only out duel AD and AP lanes but now she can out duel tanks with her true damage.

Her W: This ability not only does Bonus AD Damage, but it also slows AND heals Camille giving her some sustain. Again, one ability with three different sources of power. On top of that Camille can move while she's casting it.

Her E: Works like Nautialis Q in a way, giving Camille amazing sticking and chase power. If she recasts it and hits an enemy she stuns them and also gains bonus attack speed for 5 seconds. She can also** hop over walls with it**.

Her R: Works like a Jarven ult. She's** untergetable** while casting it. She creates a zone that pushes away all other enemies and while in it Camille's attack do bonus damage. On top of that the Zone is inescapable and on top of THAT her allies that are in the radius upon cast do NOT get pushed away.

I really think everyone should read the above explanations of this champion's kit. Notice how I bolded some things? everything bolded is some kind of power boost or steroid to her kit. Its okay for a Champions abilities to do 1 or 2 things. But almost all of Camille's abilities do 4 to 6 things and almost every one is riddled with hidden steroid power of some kind.

So yes, I do believe Camille does to much, I do believe her kit is truly "Overloaded" and that's why shes doing so well. Top, Mid, Jung, Support, she can do it all because her kit allows. I really think Riot needs to go back and start removing some of these unnecessary power steroids from her abilities to even begin balancing her.

But no remarks on knife feet?

I think that her shield design is fine since it's only ever good in lane. Outside of lane you will be dealing with magic, physical, and possibly true damage so it loses a lot of value. Mixed damage duelists such as Jax will probably become a powerful counter to her at some point in time.

To be fair, Camille's passive shield is weaker than most shields in the sense that regular shields counter all types of damage while Camille's only counters a particular type. That said, you're right in that she has almost everything. She has a shield, heal, speed boost, mobility, attack speed boost, stun, slow, true damage, % max health damage, % current health damage, a knockback, and a way to prevent an enemy from escaping. Her kit gives her so much that she only needs to build one or maybe two offensive items to be effective, and then can build tank.
