Lack of originality in most new champs

I know a lot of you are gonna disagree with me on this, but am I the only person that thinks that there is a lack of originality when it comes on to many of the champs that have been released by Rito in the past few years. I mean, I'm not talking about design and lore, because they do put a lot of work into that and we appreciate it. What I'm referring to is the skills of these champs. Lemme give a small example just to illustrate my point. Take a look at Jinx's abilities. Machine gun attack speed increases over time while attacking (Jax), rockets have ranged splash damage (Kayle), straight line projectile slow (Cait), ground traps that immobilize (Cait) and a straight line ultimate ability that travels across the map (atleast 6 other champs). If they make another adc with a straight line ult I think umma puke. Even Lucian has a Graves like dash and MF looking ult. Even Varus has Cait's Q and MF's E. Yes I know that the look and somewhat feel of these skills are different, but it just feels like they took a bunch of other champs and took an ability from each and made some new characters. There's a lack of originality of new skills. And it can't be that here out of ideas, especially since there's so many staff, forums and discussion boards to draw from. The last few champs to come out were pretty original. But before that, we seemed to have some kind of clone army on our hands
