Me ranting about champions and abilities that i think are outdated

Let's start with my girl . I love this champion, but DAMN if she isn't a dumpster fire. Her kit is painfully easy to use, but her design just doesn't make sense. You have a squishy champion with auto target abilities (makes sense) but her passive and most of her damage output, require you to be within auto attack range (WHY?!). She lacks meaningful support skills till you get a bunch of AP and CDR. To make matters worse, she is SLOW being part of the group with the lowest base movement speed and having no dashes or other gap closing effects. So you have a champion who needs to get in close to effect the game, but has all the built in reasons to NEVER want to get that close.

Next let us talk about , or more specifically black shield then her dark binding. Now i love the idea of a support ability that absorbs more then your average shield but only is effective against one type of damage (magical). But why does this spell need both a huge shield AND the ability to negate status effects? It's already a pain to be a caster and have to fight against an ability that negates like such a huge chunk of your damage. So why do i have to burn through +600 health before i can hit you with any form of CC? Now i might even be fine with this if it was only a self cast, but the fact that she can throw this freaking thing on anyone means that you basically can't stop high damage champions from unloading on you since you need to burn like 2-3 spells to punch through the shield. Let us talk about dark binding, and how insanely long this CC is. You can start the game with a 2 second stun, many champions can't even get that level of power from a rank 5 basic or a rank 3 ultimate.

Let's talk about , this champion angers me. Mostly because he has been reworked SO MANY times and i'm convinced that if he wasn't a constant train wreck in one way or another we would have seen MANY other champions get tweaked to be viable again. Like when was the last time you saw a ? What about or ... How many champions do we have with a below 1% play rate? How many of them have been like that for multiple patches if not multiple years?

A quick note for and , do these champions REALLY need the ability to trigger item on hit effects with their primary harass tool. Like could we maybe make them a viable champion who can't point and click / spam shots.

Finally (for now) why does exist? Like honestly this thing is fucking stupid. I know it's a key part of certain champions build, but the thing is just so insanely strong on some champions while being 1000% useless on others who fill the same niche (AD/AP hybrid champions).
