My main problem with Qiyana

Lethality Builders / Assassins, in general, should not have CC.

The idea of assassins is that they are high-risk champs that need to get the drop on their opponents and full combo them before they can react if you want to be successful.

The problem with Qiyana is that she is a team fighter with Assassin damage. Her kit has so much multi-target CC in it that you would think that its damage would be lower to account for it, but nope. Assassin damage.

It kind of pisses me off.

qiyana already fits your description of an assassin, she either uses everything to get the kill, or fails. what a shocker. if she 2 q'd you without ulting or dashing then someone opted to be unskilled against her.

Lets give SA Kayn a 1.5 second stun on exiting target. Lets give Zed a Stun on exiting ult. Lets give..... NO.

I understand you like your mega bloated champ. But assassins should not have CC.

My only problem with her is her having % max health damage on her R.

Assassins should either be good teamfighters (like let's say Ekko with his W), or great at murdering a target (Zed, Kha etc.).

Taking Ekko again, Ekko in most cases cannot 100-0 a target unless he's ridiculously fed or if the target is already nearly dead however, he is very good at participating in team fights because of his W and ability to initiate and bait out ults with his own.

Zed and Kha cannot team fight for shit. If there is a team fight and the ADC is protected, they simply aren't a champion (taking Kha again, most of his kits power lies in the isolation damage). But if they catch one out on their own, they will murder them.

Qiyana can do both and she doesn't really pay for it. She has a game changing AoE CC ultimate, while also having the power of 100-0'ing a squishy target. Even more so considering she can build up to five lethality items.

While I don't think she's currently overpowered, she has the potential to be if the meta swings that way simply because of how powerful her kit is.
