No other assassin in the game gets a fat shield while they are dumping their combo on someone. So not only do they obliterate their target, they live to fight the next one. You want an adc to be an assassin? Cool. Dont give her all these tools to survive. Would it be fair if khazix got a shield when he became unstealthed? Or if zed got a shield for landing shuriken. Hell let's just give talon a shield for pressing R. See how this would be terrible? So why is a long range assasin abusing this?

Kaisa has rabid fire Kaisa has long range fire (which is not even ult, just a normal ability) Kaisa has attack speed Kaisa has stacks Kaisa has cd refunds Kaisa has movement speed buff Kaisa has quick dashes Kaisa has shield **Kaisa is the most banned player in league now at around 60% **

Only things she doesn't have is cc, but that doesn't justify giving her so much above. They need to atleast remove one from above.

"Shields"

Has one shield that puts her right next to the enemy

Also, it's part of her power budget.

Hm... That's a good idea. Zed needs to gain a shield equal to how much damage his shurikens deal. This is a good buff. I will turn this into a thread.

Kai'sa has to dive right onto the enemy to secure a kill with her ult. Twitch gets a massive range boost to keep him alive while he secures kills. Kai'sa gets a shield. In both cases their ults would be super weak if they didn't have a survival tool.

A "fat shield" LOL! It's 125 at max level. That's less than one auto after first back. Assassins get gap closers that allow them to get onto the enemy and burst them so fast they can't attack (Kassadin, Akali), Invisibility to help them dodge skillshots (Khazix, Talon, Shaco, Rengar), or straight up immunity to all damage (except DoTs already applied) until they're already on the target (Yi, Zed, Fizz). Kai'sa's little half-an-auto shield is a pitifully weak survival tool compared to Vanish and Untargetable effects, or the ability to kill your enemy in one 0.75 second rotation.
