IMHO, Kled is a very well designed and balanced champion

Kled is a very balanced and well designed champ, and hes exceedingly fun to play as. And no one plays him atm for that reason. You can really only take him top lane, so he'd be going up against the likes of Camille Fiora Kennen Poppy Yasuo and most of these champs have kits that are very well rounded, if not overloaded.

See Kled. he does 2 things. He dives in and he does damage. Thats it. His ranged poke is non-existent, his mobility is one of the most balanced in the game. If he uses it to engage on an enemy, he can use it again. If he uses it to run away, he doesnt get the extra dash. And he cant use it to go through terrain unless he has used to to mark an enemy champ (offensively). He has damage, but its not ever bearing, it is only of 1 type, and it is half DPS and half burst that can be counter played by the enemy. (dodge q and wait out w.)

Meanwhile we have champs whose kits are just so well rounded that they do everything better than most champs. Camille Fiora just have true damage in their kits because its Riots current crouch to attach to a kit to make it always relevant. Fiora Camille Yasuo are just hyper mobile peices of garbage who should never have made it to live. They are great on the offensive but have SO much safety in their kits. Does Camille really need to be able to go through walls that she dashed too??? Poppy Could due to lose damage from her kit, remove the damage component from active W. I say this as a poppy main. She doesn't need it, the MS boost and dash blocker are enough when you look at how strong a dash blocker and the passive component is on that skill. She doesnt need the 70-230 magic damage that no one realizes they are getting hit with.

Riot, stop making kits that are well rounded. They might create champs that are fun to play as, but they are infuriating to play against. If you are a strong offensive champ, you shouldn't be having one of the safest laning phases in the game. being strong in one aspect should make you weak in another. (and true damage should be the center point to a kit if it is in it, not a crouch. ex Darius Garen villain ults)

Make more champs like Kled, who are actually balanced

Kled is usually picked as a counter pick to popular champs not usre what all of them are but pretty sure it includes riven and other popular duelists that he beats in a straight up brawl

I never see results from Kled mainly due to how his W works. It sucks that you can't control it, and with such a long CD, it's damn near useless in lane.

My biggest problem with him is that he's a -decent- champion at best mounted, and a shit tier one unmounted. They over-valued his dismount and remount mechanic and thought the fact that he could mitigate a potential large amount of damage both ways meant they should weaken the rest of the champion.

I've hardly seen any Kled do anything remotely adequate. Average at best. In my opinion, his W needs to have some sort of control on it and his dismounted form needs to have some sort of strength to it because he's slow as shit, has one actual spell (With very little damage) and has now way of actually escaping.
