Rito afraid to make champs with flavor and Taliyah w Outplay potential

Why has Rito been making easy champs recently? Illaoi, Kindred, and Aurelion Sol are all really easy to play without a whole bunch of space for fancy plays (that is not to say they don't have it). I mean, between the three of them, there are 3 skill shots with none on Kindred. I know Rito should be making champs that appeal to all levels of play but all three of these simpler champs have had some interesting balance issues recently (sol less so). Hope we get more skillful champs after Taliyah or at least one high skill cap champ then back to easy rather than this release of three easy champs in a row...

On a similar note, is Rito too afraid to add flavorful champs anymore? I mean, Taliyah is cool and all but her passive is somewhat boring (albeit useful) and her w would be WAY more interesting if it knocked Taliyah up too. her passive is okay but about her w, I feel it is a worthy risk to allow Taliyah to be knocked up too. This not only allows her to perform outplays by moving herself, but also adds counter by allowing champs that can stay on her to stay on her when they get close (since knocking them up would knock herself up with them). Being able to knock herself up makes so much sense in her lore as a stone mage that I really question why Rito decided to not add it to the game...
