Some genuine first impressions about Kai'sa

1.) Her animations are super freaking cool. The auto-attacks in-particular are a standout, they look really good at fast and slow speeds, and have this little 'anime' style pop that just works for her. Well done!

2.) Her Living Weapon effect is pretty vague. It seems like your reaching out to get players to try some unique builds, which i applaud. However...

3.) It's really, really obvious that Supercharger is going to be the 'go-to' build path because of her "Vayne styled" invisibility. This also clearly has the best synergy with her passive. From a design perspective, it kinda feels like you guys are copying here. Why not something more original?

4.) Furthermore, is building AP on her viable? Are we going to see her in more than the ADC role? Based on her kit functions, that seems very unlikely.

5.) She has a pretty clearly defined weakness, and I like that. She lacks hard control of any kind. I also like that her only movement speed boost is tied into her ultimate, this works to make her feel pretty vulnerable. Yet another reason why I think most players are going to go for that Invisibility.

6.) I don't see her cooldowns, and that's critical to her balance. Anyway to get some basic info on her ability cooldowns? can't really theory craft until we get that information.

Her Q is on about a 6s CD with the items she had in the play spotlight. She uses E about 9s apart but there was a few seconds between where there was no targets to fight so it could be lower but it is more then 6s

She does not use other abilities more then once in the video so can assume they are more then 6s

Well she can go item 3124 item 3115 item 3285 or item 3078 item 3094 or item 3508 item 3085 item 3031 she can hit several upgrades usually attack speed then AP or AD. So very useful to counter a tank stacking straight armor or mr or health item 3153 item 3151 item 3034 or whatever the new items are. So I love this idea. Its a unique kit, several roles mid, jung, bot. Just need to see ratios and cooldowns before i judge her worthy to be a sidekick main. I like Corki so much and she is unique a lot like the corkster.
