Qiyana's kit is far too situational

I really like how her W mechanic works in laning, as I believe that she will be played mostly in mid/jungle, which gives her access to all 3 elements when she's laning

However, after laning is over, it always seems like she's lacking in one element, which really harms her versatility. For example, is Qiyana's team is being pushed to their base, or is pushing the enemies base, she is never going to have the River element available to her. This issue only gets even more brutal when in either team's base, as Fire Element becomes the only one available to her at all times.

This would be a nice drawback to her kit, but Fire Element is definitely the most boring out of the three, as it has little to no utility when compared to the stealth, stun, root, slow, and movement speed the other two can provide for her. It just really sucks how Fire Element is going to feel overused when its just another execute. Overall, the way her kit interacts with the map kills all creativity with the champ, and this isn't even on ARAM where River Element is completely unavailable to her at all times.

It's not fire. It's called wall.
