so question and correct me if i am wrong. kai sa does massive burst but because of an attack speed steroid also has sustain damage? she should be imobile and squishy to compensate but wait she has an invis and an ult that not only gives a huge dash to your desired location on someone marked but also late game a 1000 hp shield so hmmm ur not gonna burst her. ok so bursting wont work that well unless you are ludicrously ahead. maybe try to out tank her damage and get her in some cc after all her bullshit, but wait she does alot of physical and magic and does % damage so that wont work either hmmmm. im failing to see the weakness in kai,sa kit it seems to me like she has literally everything every adc has in one package +more damage than 90% of them too except a self heal. where is the compromise like kog high range high damage imobile squshy, vayne very high damage low range squshy no 1000 hp shield to save you, lucian high burst low range mediocre sustain damage.mf insane ult damage meh everything else stationary while useing strong ult and no escapes if hit even once because you lose your ms passive. see the pattern every champ has an upside to them and a downside. kai,sa on the other hand has from what i can tell no downside am i wrong here?

Kai'Sa sucks at AoE damage and her range is shorter than most ADCs. She needs to engage and commit to do work, where other ADCs can hang more towards the back with the protection of their team.

She is also incredibly item dependent. Her abilities aren't at full strength to begin with. She needs to sink a ton of gold into her items before her abilities really come online. Combined with her short range, and she's incredibly easy to punish in the laning phase and set behind.

She's one of those champions that you beat in the early game by denying them their snowball, not in the lategame when they're at their strongest.

Kai’sa doesn’t naturally do %hp damage. She does %missing hp damage. That’s her flaw. If you build resistances they still kinda work long enough to burst her out. And he ult dash shield decays.
