Does Camille need so many damage types?

Camille has: Physical damage (Autos, Q, W, E) Magic damage (R) True damage (Q) %maxHP damage (W) %currentHP damage (R)

I know that generally fighters have some form of alternate damage besides raw physical damage so that they don't have to invest heavily into armor penetration, but this seems excessive.

It's especially egregious on Camille, whose E, passive, and ult suggest that she should be particularly strong at getting to and dueling carries. There's no reason for Camille to have so many ways around armor stacking tanks when she has the target selection to avoid the tanks in the first place.

every new champion that gets released needs to have 54 different things in its kit that it doesn't actually need.

Of course she does.

Just like Rengar needs 30% free bonus AD, and Yasou needs 100% bonus Critical hit!

I looked at her kit and assumed she was meant to be a skirmisher/melee carry, like Tryndamere, Yasuo, Fiora, or Master Yi, who all can threaten squishies and tanks alike.

Is this not the case?

I see Top and.... possibly Jungler in her future.

She seems to be a champ that will adjust to the meta quite well. She is best at dueling, but she is more focused around single targets. Her ult is probably going to be saved to take out the target that poses the biggest threat.
