Camille Design Checklist

The following is a sincere attempt to understand Camille's strengths and weakneses (any constructive discussion would be greatly appreciated):

shields, heals, and plenty of hp and hp regen so you don't need to B from damage? CHECK large mana pool and low mana costs so using abilities aren't much of a worry? CHECK tanky from auto-resists with shields and heals? CHECK

deal true damage and burst? CHECK attack speed steroid for DPS? CHECK double dash so far and on such a short cooldown that it makes Renekton weep bitter, angry tears? CHECK a third-ish dash (Vi-ult style)? CHECK

AOE slow? CHECK reliable STUN? CHECK AOE knockback? CHECK unstoppable single target trap? CHECK

So, Camille = a Tanky-CC, Sustain-Fighter, Assassin-Burst, Unstoppable-Diver, Mobility-DPS Champion?

?! Unless I'm missing something, someone should point out that versatility is a strength. This is true from chess, to first person shooters, to magic the gathering, to EVERYTHING. Versatile champions allow a league player to accomplish more, in more situations, and I've long noticed that Riot doesn't seem to balance champions with versatility much in mind (Lee Sin and Lucian were the only times they really took it on). But, even by Riot standards Camille is extreme. She's like Riven and Lee Sin at their most versatile states combined (with Vi's sure-kill ult thrown on top). And, other than low base mana regen, what big weakness offsets this INCREDIBLE amount of control she offers?

Also, off-topic, her ult, for the trapped player, has weak intuitive responsiveness if you ask me. Your character will walk into it and just stand there. There's no slide-back or anything smooth that gives the trapped player a better feel for what's going on and it would be nice if a behavior like that were added.

She also has a movement speed boost, and also %max health damage, and %current health magic damage, so building against her can be a nightmare. She was confirmed to be getting some nerfs soon though.

You just turned a gameplay meme into an actual gameplay thread.

...The memes are getting too real.

is this a checklist or just you bitching? You forgot to include sustain, secondary and tertary gapclosers, range, etc. Why did you only count the stuff that fluffs up your shitty argument? You can make any champ look bad like this.

she only has a near 40% winrate against darius. so what? I think anyone who is weak against darius has counterplay that can be brainlessly exploited
