Brain dead champions? Riot dumbing down for dumb playerbase?

Let's talk about all the recent champs Riot has come up with recently. Fiora has a dash mechanic that also helps prioritize champions and auto attacks them. Kindred----even more so.

            I reallllllly realllllllllly like league of legends. But I play because there is atleast some skill required for most champions. 
            Yes, that "skill" is just clicking a lil faster and learning target priority. 

When I am playing against champions that can auto me without the player actually even clicking onto me directly, I know that this player is experiencing far less stress than I am. Why? SIMPLY bc theyre having to make fewer conscious decisions per trade.

This new champion. Illiao ill"uminati." This champion has all aoe spells Literally all aoe spells. Yes her soul grab spell is sssseeeeemingly single targeted. Here's the catch. Even if you escape the range of the effect, as long as your soul is killed, you become cursed. And OOOOOh boy this part of her kit is really braindead. This curse will continue to spawn tentacles that do bonus damage to you and they're aoe. What part of the curse is based on skill or conscious decision-making by the player? Before you get boots and if you're playing a champion without a dash, the curse will literally push you out of lane.

IF this were a lategame oriented patch, this champion would honestly be very balanced. However, with the current speed of each game, this champion has way too much sustain and her kit is too easily abused.
