Discussion: Could we be seeing a Mobility and cc creep?

This is a topic i thought about today and its a great topic that could use some discussion.

Where did it start? From looking at champion releases, it looks like there was a major spike in mobility and cc around late 2013 https://image.prntscr.com/image/99e0231cd7844ff1a1c12738ef9071bb.png

There are a few who stray from this and have very little mobility and cc, like Illaoi, Kalista etc. But its pretty evident that a lot of them some sort of cc or mobility.

Newer champions This is what really got me thinking about this. There seems to be a HUGE spike of mobility and cc in these newer releases. https://image.prntscr.com/image/bb92bdff9199467bbaa2fd1bb56dcc88.png

The only one(i may be wrong) that seems to be light on the mobility and cc is Illaoi. All Illaoi has is a very short dash with her w, which needs an enemy target, and an unreliable slow with her e. All these champions seem to have good amounts of cc and mobility.

Our newest champions This part honestly gets me thinking about how mobility and cc might be in the future. Xayah and Rakan Have immense amounts of cc and mobility. Rakans kit is centered around mobility and cc, which devastates the other team. Xayah is able to root a whole team at once if she sets up her feathers right. Her w also allows her mobility if she hits an enemy.

Conclusion This is something thats gotten me thinking. Could we be seeing this creep, or is this just false? Id love to see some thoughts on this! [slayer-jinx-wink]

I mean.. Most champions have either mobility or CC and those who don't probably have damage. We can't really have a mobility and a CC and a damage creep because champions need something in their kit to be worthwhile.
