Because what league really needed was another impossibly sticky champion with % health damage.

We only just cured the "Tank Ekko" cancer that plagued top lane. Now we have a champion (Kleb if you haven't figured it out) with stupidly easy, GUARANTEED TO LAND, stickiness with thoughtless abilities that literally DO IT ALL FOR YOU. You have 1 ability that may take some practice. Your Q, and even that is pretty easy. Either a decently ranged cone which also knocks you back or a penetrating Leblanc E which pulls if unbroken. I can already see this champ's build path item 3022 item 3025 item 3071 item 3742 item 3111. Ekko was pretty bad, but at least only his e was point and click for a guaranteed hit.

Towers won't phase him in the slightest while his passive is up which if we're honest, is going to be most of the time. That and the auto eject/drop aggro makes playing safe under tower just as dangerous as in the lane. Pealing for squishies will be very hard with his guaranteed targeting and team movement speed buff. Maybe if this movement speed buff caped for all others to some extent? So that way the full enemy team is not breaking mach 4 with a Sivir, Sona, Karma, Hecarim comp.

While nothing is confirmed to be in the full release, from what the spotlight showed, I see dark times ahead for the back lines of teams.

.....You do know Kled's "Beartrap on a Rope" is very much a skillshot, right?

Yeah, the ult MS has a cap.

Check Q&A, apparently he builds like Fiora : Sometimes bruiser but more often than not full damage.

Just because the design team gives us a recommended build or playstyle doesn't mean people are going to follow it.

Riot doesn't decide what build people use on champions.

Bruiser Yasuo was not thought of by Rito, but it's arguably his best build right now.

So I watched Imaqtpie play Kled on the PBE, and he went with a full damage build. I'm talking crit and everything.

Despite this, he had three thousand HP. Three thousand fucking HP. On a champion that build full damage. For reference, people complained constantly when Master Yi was rocking that much HP with his bruiser build.

Kled is going to build tanky AD and be almost impossible to kill IMHO, considering how his passive basically functions like a burst heal. And he will still do damage that is too high to ignore.
