I really love the recent kit designs Riot has released

First Disclaimer, this is not a gameplay post per say, but rather an appreciation thread about it.

I just have to get this out in all honesty. The recent directions of Riot's Kit developments have actually amazed me. Considering we have a history with champions at the likes of Zoe, I had really lost faith in Riot's Champion design issue, and that right after the horrendous downfall of their balance team too. But then they released the Swain rework, and then Kai'sa and...

My fucking god, I am positively impressed.

Especially with Kai'sa. For an ADC to have such a non-toxic design that allows versatility without being overly mindblowing is something, in my opinion, unheard of for league, especially for a bot lane champion.

The way her Kit scales throughout the game, gives room for a lot of learning, isn't the most difficult thing to pick up and despite being fed out the ass she takes a good amount of skill to perform properly. Her Counters are very clearly definable but even her best counter-matchup or playstyle can still be defeated without being eliminated entirely if enough skill is presented in kai'sa players. She has great balancing design in my eyes and is really a stand-up definition of what gameplay design could potentially be. My only complaint is how teamplay dependant she is because of her 5 stacks passive, and in this season teamplay is a word almost erased from lol's vocab.

I do really hope Riot will keep up with the good work they did on champion kit designs, it really restored my faith in the idea of a champion is truly fun to play, and not just being fun if you are winning. Hell, with Kai'sa I have been able to actually have fun being in bot lane and not just feel pressured all the damn time. And I don't enjoy playing bot lane. PERIOD That should say something about her Design.

Whoever made Kai'sa. Thank you.
