How do you guys feel about Kai'sai's overall ability set and design?

At first I thought she was going to be an adc, but then I saw that her range was 500.

This inbetween stuff is a bit worrying... because it means shes either going to be toplane or jungle. Not only that but she's considerably mobile.

My guess is she'll prob end up in the same state as quinn, kinda inbetween alot of places with no definitive identity. So, Why are we pushing this ranged/mobile/scaling-dps archetype and pushing it toplane and jungle? Especially, when riot has already admitted to this archetype being toxic game design and has even nerfed/reworked champions because of it... I also think this is terrible balancing.

What we're gonna get is a bunch of in-between champs that aren't very good at anything.

Look, this is what's going to happen:

She's going to be op as fk because riot can't make a champ that people won't play and the only way to make her playable is to make her a stat bucket. She's going to be played toplane/jungle, and she's going to wreck for awhile because she's scaling DPS/RANGED/MOBILITY. Her range isn't enough for a botlane pick, but she's still a stat bucket and catering to a feast or famine design (I havn't even played her, and I can just tell that's the way she's built).

So, eventually she'll be nerfed or reworked to a state that she's "meh" and no one picks her because she's too mobile, she's ranged, she's dps, and she has obvious counters.

This is Aatrox, quinn, irelia all over again.

I could be totally wrong though, what do you guys think?

she haves the same range as Lucian Sivir KogMaw

I think she actually has potential. Her kit has some interesting mechanics, and people on Reddit have been saying that she feels pretty good and would really only need some compensation buffs if anything, maybe a couple more points in range to help bottom lane. Her kit has counterplay and you actually have to build stuff to get her bonus effects, you don't just get them right off the bat. Her abilities all have counterplay and the more attack speed she builds the shorter her invisibility is. That's right, her only escape actually gets shorter the more attack speed she builds. Her W can be dodged, her Q becomes weaker if you group up, she has counterplay.

I hope shes a viable mid, she seems like an excellent duelist and suited to a solo lane but top is too long and its way too far form bot lane for when she ganks.
