What the fuck is this? Is it some April's Fools thing or is Riot going senile?

Neither. 3 stacks doesn't make things bad.

It's a mechanic they like because you get punished for getting hit multiple times.

I fail to see the problem. Real MANLY MEN take out their opponents with only 3 strikes. Only SISSIES would complain about it. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--0fIaySkJ--/sbkaze5sc2kmsk63sicy.jpg

On the other hand, it is the first new champion since Rengar to be released without a skill shot.

Syndra Khazix Elise Zed Nami Vi Thresh Quinn Zac Lissandra Aatrox Lucian Jinx Yasuo Velkoz Braum Gnar Azir Kalista RekSai Bard Ekko TahmKench

That is 23 champions between the release of Rengar and the announcement of Kindred, all of which have at least 1 skill shot.

18 of those 23 have at least on dash (19 if you really want to count Tahm ult). 7 have an extra effect or have an ability work differently after building a specific number of stacks on an opponent with auto attacks and/or abilities (8 if we remove the fixed number and count Kalista's rend). 8 have %HP damage built into their kit. 14 of them have a displacement that Yasuo can ult off of, including Yasuo himself.

Not having a skill shot is a much bigger change of pace than many other things the community has whined about being done too frequently with new champs.
