Is it just me or...
Is it just me or is there a significant trend lately of new champs with quirky utility/escape ults?
Azir was the last one to kinda feel like a traditional ult but even then Emperor's Divide is effectively a highly damaging escape mechanism for self and party. After that we have
Kalista's launch-a-friend,
Rek'sai's dig-dug magical journey,
Bard's game of red-light-green-light,
Ekko's takesies-backsies backwards escape,
Tahm Kench's how-to-sawllow-(for)-your-friends,
Kindred's "nah, you don't get to die yet" imitation of Bard's ult, and then we finally get back to something that feels like a normal ult with
Illaoi's "super mega hentai death tentacle party"....
That's a hell of a lot of quirky ults to be released one after the other, especially considering those who make up this trend are (in order) a
marksman,
a fighter,
a support,
an assassin,
another support,
and another marksman? That's every role except full-on tanks and mages, and includes no less than two widely recognized jungle chars...and guess what? The two with only semi-quirky ults that sandwich this smorgasbord together are
Azir, a Mage, and
Illaoi, a Fighter/Tank...
So, yeah, with those two exceptions, am I the only one who noticed a severely slanted trend among the new champion ults?
