"An auto attack is a manaless attack your champion performs when they attack-click something."

Except and

"When a champion is suppressed they cannot cast any abilities."

Except 's R

"A turret has True Sight which reveals all stealth and invisible champions within it's range."

Except 's E

It's an interesting design philosophy to have a bunch of core mechanics all champions are subordinate to and then have various champions and abilities break them.

I hope they take this further in the future and give all 150 champions at least 1 ability that is an exception to the normal rules of the game so that everyone that plays has to memorize each interaction of every ability instead of just a small set of core rules.

You really want 4 Champions look like they break the game with “core mechanis breaking abilities“?

Those are just four examples; there are many more out there. Look at all the CC that ignores Tenacity, for example, or the knockups that, unlike other knockups, are affected by Tenacity (they're technically called "suspension"), among many, many other inconsistencies in League. What the OP is pointing out, and rightly so, is that League's core rules have been made more fragile due to a host of special-case mechanics on champions and items that are usually tracked by reading the wiki and memorizing all the info, i.e. book-keeping. This is something Riot had once stated they wanted to avoid a while back, yet here we are.

It's just nothing new and nothing to rly worry about. Most exceptions of the rule like tryn ult are in the game like forever. Not saying that i like the akali ability btw.

I playe this game since dodge chance was a thing, jeez there is way worse stuff rn than those exceptions. Just one word: zoe

"becoming" >posts examples of 3 champions that have been for 8-9 years

What?

As others have pointed out my list isn't comprehensive and there are many more examples. I think this is bad design. The way I see it either remove the concept of True Sight/Auto Attack/Suppression or make these champions conform to the rules. Otherwise you're just lying to players when you say your game does something when it doesn't.
