They are removing counterplay from the game. See their comments about why they keep adding more fucking knockups - something to the extent of "when you want an ability to 'just work.' You've got characters like Kayn and Talon that just run away through walls, characters like Fiora and Irelia that effectively have 3+ flashes built into their kit, and everyone is extremely bursty. I don't mean to sound too whiney, I'm sure some super high level player will tell me how I'm wrong, but my being wrong doesn't make the game any more fun. It is not very fun right now.
