Out of 20 champs that came out in the past 5 years. there is only about 3 that doesnt jump everywhere.... can we fucking stop making these type of champs?

In a level where everyone is proficient with their champions league isn't about one shots.
Theyre cool to show off in Pro play, they play URF in normal game modes, and most importantly - Eastern audiences prefer them.
But that answer aside, a lot of the newer champions have been more about ramping up on their damage, and one-shottyness isn't that high on most of them. Sylas is a bruiser, Akali has a very very long time to kill, especially for an assassin, Nunu is a tank and doesn't really do a lot of damage outside of a meme build thats completely useless (but riot continuously buffed and tried to make meta.) Pyke, despite being an assassin, has extremely low overall damage 1v1. I think Blitzcrank hits harder, even.
Irelia and Zoe are probably the most recent one-shotters, but then Irelia was an attempt at buffing up Bruisers and the removal of Drain Tanks like her, Swain, and Aatrox.
Sylas, bruiser playstyle doesn't 1 shot has dashes though Neeko burst mage, no dashes rarely 1 shots Pyke assassin with dash Kai Sa doesn't 1 shot ult is her dash and its not a short cd Zoe her blink is predictable and she is a burst mage Ornn tank with a dash that is a high cd Kayn can 1 shot if blue Kayn gets fed, red Kayn bruiser Xayah marksman no dash Rakan support with dashes + low damage Camille dash + doesn't one shot (No her Q dealing 1000 true damage at 6 items isn't 1 hitting you since you have a 1.5 sec hard cd to get the 2nd part) Ivern support jgler with dashes Kled fighter with dashes Taliyah no real dashes, not counting her ult as its never used that way pretty much ASol no dashes that he uses in combat similar to Tali ult and very very rarely will 1 shot Jhin no dashes and doesn't realistically 1 shot Illaoi no dashes unless you count her W which hardly moves her and one shots if you get hit by 3+ tentacles at one time Ekko assassin with dashes Bard has a portal i guess but never will 1 shot you even with a full damage build
12 of the past 20 don't 1 shot
7 of the past 20 don't have a "real" dash (Counting Sol/Taliyah and not counting Zoe/Ivern/KaiSa)
Mobility creep was a concern the community was complaining about for a while... by the time 
came out pretty much everyone gave up; cause with that champ Riot pretty much just said "fuck you and your mobility creep complaints!!"
