Why I think CertainlyT is an amazing designer
EDIT: I wouldn't count mordekaiser at all, he's a champion that wasn't built from the groundup while also forced to go to a completely different lane
Before we even talk about CT let's look at some champions with kits I highly dislike

(even more but you get the point)
Why do I dislike these types of kits? because they all 9/10 times do the same exact thing no matter what situation they are in, this to me means that a kit is completely boring or just straight unsuccessful.
I feel like a successful kit is a kit that gives you a ton of options in different situations and you can make the best or worst of a situation dependant on your skill and knowledge with that champion. On the other hand a fail design is one that requires barely any thinking and limits your options in different situations, having success with these types of kits means you have to get used to spamming the same combo over and over and over without any kind of altering or very little needed.
Let's look at kits that I feel are successful
(etc)
Why do I think these kits are successful? disregard numbers or anything like that, these champions have so many options that are completely dependant on the users knowledge. You can tell when you're up against a god zed or a amateur zed, you can tell when that thresh is on his 1000th thresh game or on his 1st thresh game. There is no confusion as to why champions like these have decent fanbases or high % of mains, they make you feel like you're doing a great job when you make a great play by altering combos, dodging, juking etc.
now when I compare
to other supports
(etc) you can see why I like his kit
Now onto CertainlyT
-My favorite of his designs are
and
due to reasons stated above
-I do like
but one thing that really irritates me is that she's both team and self reliant due to her passive and ultimate, I feel like kalista could use a rework to make her focused on one or the other
-Does he make mistakes? of course but that's the price you pay when you try to make something different from the norm
tl;dr You can dislike CertainlyT all you want but you should give him respect for creating champions with thought-oriented kits that actually give you options based on your mastery of that champion.

If an Ahri just throws out charms hoping for a hit, as a lot of amateur Ahri's do, they'll run out of mana fairly fast, and you can punish failed charms pre6 really easily.
Azir is just terrible in the hands of an amateur
And so on.
His ult is completely stationary, he doesn't get to keep moving it whenever he wants and it too has a cooldown.
- Melee? Good luck. I used to be a lane bully with insane damage but I would fall of late game. Now I have sustain. And now I have more items that give me move speed and make me tanky.
