Knock Ups and Dashes

It seems like Knock ups are becoming the most important CC in the game. Tenacity doesn't work vs them so if you Chain them you almost certainly will kill even the tankiest targets. Also Champions with out dashes feel extremely weak in comparison to Champions with them. I noticed a trend with most of the champions being released... they all have a Knock up, or a Dash, Sometimes both (minus Xayah , but her ult in someways can feel like a / dash but i would say its more of an untargetable than a Dash) Ornn dash and knock up Rakan Dash and knock up Galio dash and knock up Camille Very good dash that is dependent on wall. Kayn Dash and knock up (only if he goes Rhaast for the knock up) Kled Two knock backs not so much a knock up but still displacement, and a dash in both forms. Ivern knock up with Daisy, and allows other people to dash. Taliyah Skill shot knock up but more of a displacement. Over the past year all the champions released or have CC that is not reduced by Tenacity or extreme mobility. Champions like Ashe Nasus Are still okay picks but its obvious with no mobility or knock ups they are very poor picks in comparison to other champions who have better tools. So at what point if at all can we expect some changed to knock ups? (maybe shorten the duration over all since tenacity doesn't stop them or something along those lines) Or are we just moving into a Trend that if you don't pick a champion with a knock up / mobility you are setting yourself up for failure?

Yorick Never seem to need a dash. The Warlord's BloodLust gut hurt him pretty bad, but mobility still isn't a problem. Champions without dashes may feel significantly weaker to you because they simply don't fit your playstyle.

I forgot to mention Yorrick you are right. He doesn't have a dash, he can make his Minions dash but that's not the same thing. I play Ashe quite a bit actually she was one of my favorite ADC's along with Draven. Ashe feels very weak because its to hard to survive with out the help of an entire team protecting you, Draven has a move that out plays most Dash's with Stand aside so I feel like he has some outplay potential. It's hard to find new champions that don't have that don't have Knock ups or Dashes was my main point... and most of the new Champions have both. The mobility is a secondary issue my main issue is the amount of knock ups that are being introduced.

I actually haven't had much of a problem surviving on ashe, although I do play her a good bit differently than other people... Usually top or jungle. xD
