The philosophy behind the QSS changes are terrible

You wanna talk about favoritism, why does QSS not work on Trundle or Zed ults? Riot says it makes them useless and hard to balance. Ok, but it's totally fine that it makes WW, Malz Skarner useless, right? It totally doesn't skew balancing for them, right? I still remember when the Rioter who was explaining Vi's ult's immunity to QSS told us how it would just be awkward for Vi if her ult suddenly just did nothing and she just stood their with her dick in her hand :/. Ok buddy that totally isn't the case for WW or Skarner.

Also why does QSS build into AD? It isn't enough that this item that can be used to effectively deny entire champs their ability to play the game? You need to give damage too? Why? Why isn't the cleanse+ enough? Why does everything in the game have to give some sort of damage.

The reason it can get rid of Suppressions as it gives some 1v1 counterplay, if the only counterplay to WW, Malz, and Skarner were "group up with your team", you'd see a massive increase in top WW, and Skarner, and Mid Malz, and all they'd do is grab TP and split all game and you'd either need to take some heavy CC and a dmg dealer, with you, or lose a turret, and then your team can just abuse the man advantage. Said champs would be nightmares for low CC comps, and would essentially be the next Juggernaut meta, you'd either have to ban Malz, Skarner, and WW or face losing the game.

That's nonsense every in meta top laner atm that isn't a tank scales into an unstoppable split pusher. Difference is WW is actually terrible w/o his ult unlike bullshit like irelia.

At this point counterplay has turned into a meaningless buzzword. Where's the counterplay for WW to counterplay your counterplay? It doesn't exist. So stop using it like it means anything.
