Does anybody feel that the new champs are currently lacking raw power?

Today I was thrilled to see Kindred come out and was excited to see its skills, I see the vast utility and mobility that the champion offers and believe it to be a "interesting" champion to play.

Well, thats for certain people of course by the means of their preferences. I currently feel that most of the recent champions have immense mobility and utility, traded off with brute force and hard balls cc. From what I recall the last champion to be released that followed the opposite of this current design principal was Velkoz. (One of my favorites) Because of this, I haven't bought any of the recent champs nor mained them and haven't gained a new champion for my pool for possibly a year. Is anybody in the same situation as I am?

Overall, please riot. Could you design a champion simplistic with high efficiency and firepower that can suit my needs?

I quite like his concept. Also I like the jug reworks fits which my preferences. (well its darn cancer but lol) But yeah, I haven't bought something "new". Which is quite saddning because it makes me feeling I'm playing league from the late 2014.

I think it's because of their Passive on Champion and Jungle monsters. The permanent stat increase might be really good and Riot doesn't want to have overtuned numbers.

I didn't think about that. The meta is indeed more centred around objectives compared to around Vel has been out and champs are designed to interact in some sort of way to them like kalista's rend or gnar's ult on drag walls.

I may seem like a no-brainer but my tactic is to blow them up and safely do drag. i wish riot could address this philosophy someday.

Everyone says this for every new champion then when they are released, change their tune.

It's like Bard's stackable meeps. So much of the power budget goes into their passive, that by late game, if you farmed objectives, you will deal I crapton of damage.

It's like a built in Sated.
