These items encourage poor positioning from the AD Carry champs who typically build this item, covers a weakness (crowd control) meant for certain hyper carry champions MasterYi Yasuo Tryndamere, punishes summoner 4 Flashy plays, and most personally frustrating invalidates a large portion of certain champions entire kits TahmKench Malzahar Warwick Skarner.

Focusing on the latter two complaints, a flash into range to cc a high priority target that is_ out of positioning_ often times ends up as a 1 for 1 trade depending on how quickly the enemy team reacts. QSS completely punishes that play and can lead to a lost teamfight. Even worse this item set punishes suppression champions that CC themselves whilst CCing the enemy target. Of the four suppression champions (Urgot purposely left out since his suppression is unique) two completely immobilize themselves to become sitting ducks while the other slows himself significantly. In a world where these players have the option of item 2419 and item 3026 for risky plays why should they also have the option to also completely disregard crowd control? It's time to remove these items from the game.

I would maybe agree in increasing the cooldown but it is one of the few items that allow counterplay to some nasty cc like liss r and malz r which are essentially gg levels of cc and easy to land and it only stops the iniatial cc so if you use another shortly after it has the same effect as if they didnt have qss

I don't even play many AD champs and I see the necessity of QSS. No one deserves to be Zoe slept and have no way to counter it.

No because then people would sya tham kench and vi is broken and riot would be a nerf and since vi and tham can buidl qss it nerfs them too AND riot will nerf them later if people say they are broken so vi and tham kench both underpowered champions would recieve 3 nerfs bc of a change that makes them worse.[zombie-brand-clap]

Malzahar

As long as this champion exists, that item is a NECESSITY. There is nothing 'fair' about Malzahar's kit, as a point-and-click instagib CC is absurdly strong by itself.

You don't even need 'poor positioning' for him to potentially wreck you with it.

Skarner Morgana Fizz Zoe are also some worthwhile examples of why this item exists.
