Unfair Advantage?

Just watched the Zoe champion spotlight and all I could think was, "Again with the teleporting." Other champions like Kayn and Bard can move through walls, but having all those Flashes and movements on Zoe?

I wonder...

Back when I first started playing in 2011 obviously the technology was different. It almost seems like the newest champions have an unfair advantage over the older ones just because of technology. Like Riot COULD redesign, say, Sona to also teleport / affect the laws of the in-game physics with her ultimate but they won't because "it doesn't fit her story."

Also Summoner's Rift has been re-designed over the years.

I wonder if we've reached some kind of unintended technological exploit. Whats next? "Error: To play this match you must have holographic modules installed in your room to make Nocturn's younger, angrier brother's ultimate scary in real life for 'player expirience.'"

What do you all think?

Edit: I don't mean to complain Its just an opinion here. But what I'm trying to say is that the older champions were created before the newer ones could change the in-game laws of physics.

Zoe's 'teleport' is a temporary controlled displacement effect. She can really only use it to dodge skill shots and she HAS to come back.

If i'm not mistaken Anivia is generally considered a strong mid pick and she has a relatively old styled kit. Same goes for Teemo, J4, Shen and quite a few others.

What makes a champion strong/weak in LoL is all about how they put numbers up and what utility a kit can provide

She looks like a utility version of Leblanc to me. I guess I'll have to play against her to make a final decision, but she looks more "annoying" than "unfair".

Zoe is the best example. I'm also talking about other champions like Tahm Kench being able to contain another champion within himself and keep them safe, Ivern being able to farm jungle creeps without killing them, and Azir being able to re-erect a turret after its been fallen just to name a few.
