Kai'Sa feels so utterly weak on her own early game

She has really low range of 500, bad damage with her Q, her passive requires 5 AA and other adc's can do their whole combo before she can even proc her passive damage once due to her really low attack speed, her E charge takes a full second to charge preventing you from attacking and the duration of the attack speed is too low not to mention the ability itself has a really long cooldown.

After playing many games with her she's rarely good but as of right now she's just so underpowered.

I would like kai'sa to be improved but not at the moment with adcs being to strong. We can have at least one weak adc. Feel like this can turn into an Ornn scenario.

Because she is utterly weak early game, just farm+survive and wait for good opportunities. She is like an even weaker Vayne with more build options and a kit that allows you to farm Q, run away E, scout with W and you wait for an opportunity (allied cc or W hit) and then you can ult in and capitalize.

She is not bad, but a lot of players want to show off immediatly and don't have the patience and I can understand why they are not gonna like this kind of playstyle. So her winrate is expected to be shit until these players just give up or learn to play her.

It's because of a flawed design.

she's an adc with an extremely long dash range, good waveclear, stealth, upon other things.

Because she has all of this she can't be easy to play well, but because of this she can never be strong.

If she has a tiny bit too much power (like damage) she'll be OP. If she has too little power (like her attack range) she's underpowered like she is now.

Her kit is an inherently bad design that can't be balanced. same with Zoe.

Her Q is meant to be a farming tool early, since it deals 200% damage to low health minions.

Her E is for escape or hard engage, and the attack speed steroid lasts 5 seconds. Not to mention it cools down by .5 seconds every time you AA.

What do you build on her exactly? What do you rush?

Carries are supposed to be weak early.
