Over the top internal kit synergy makes for annoying champions.

Imagine how much more fair Akali would be if her E didn't just straight up guarantee a hit of her passive if it hit, or if her passive didn't give her enough movement speed to make it easy to land her empowered attack.

Imagine how much less frustrating Aatrox would be if his E and his W were different and didn't just make it a lot easier to land his Q.

Imagine how much less annoying it'd be fighting Swain if landing his E didn't just make it so that he could unload everything onto you because of the way his kit works.

Like I know kits are supposed to work with themselves to get a job done, but when a kit works so well with itself that it essentially removes counterplay or work required to achieve that goal, then it without fail makes for champions that just feel shitty to fight. It's my firmly held opinion that no kit should naturally have all the solutions to the problems their kit poses. I just think that this is important to get out there since a lot of the recent reworks seem to have this problem of just not feeling fair, partly because of the excessive internal synergy their kits have.

so imagine if these champions were ultra garbage? what do you think a champ is gonna do, be designed to have a goal and then have no tools to achieve it?

I didn't say no tools, I just think it makes for a shitty gameplay experience vs champions who have too many tools that work too well together to the point that it makes it easier than I think it should be to achieve their 'thing'
