Not-so-bold prediction: Hextech Ultimatum will ultimately lose its movement blocking

Watching EUCS qualifiers at the moment, I cannot help but think that Camille is going the way of Rek'Sai, where she will be pick-or-ban in competitive for an eternity and nerfed in all her abilities for it, ultimately being only picked for the long-range stun of E and her ult's movement blocking.

And ultimately, Riot will have to realize that an ability that works like Hextech Ultimatum is not workable in League.

I've been saying this the moment she was revealed LMAO\

It's also comparable to Vlad, Shen, etc

EDIT: Part about her being pick/ban in professional for her E gapcloser + R, that is.

How would it work if it removed the movement blocking?

Sorry, wasn't entirely clear:

I think it will lose its blocking effect on blinks, Flash and unstoppable effects eventually, but retain the general blockage of movement and dashes.

If anything, the only part of Hextech Ultimatum that will change is it's persistence on her death. I can't imagine they'd have started Season 7, release her knowing that her ultimate is a game breaking problem, and then essentially remove it once the pro play got underway. Her ult will remain virtually unchanged, because it's a powerful dueling tool, and nothing more. It's not good in team fights, and that's the trade off for it being a powerful dueling tool.
