QSS is useless on Katarina lol

That aside, while they do rely on CD's over Autoattack animations they still use abilites frequently, especially later on in the game and anyone who has common sense will build CDR on champs like Annie. Yea her combo would be a primed stun then R as many enemies as possible but your useless until your combo is back up again, so CDR is a must against a competent team. Later on getting stunned for even 1 second vs intelligent people means death. And you might be the one thing that determines the fight that determines the match, so I think QSS is a bit better than whats given to it. I dont think I have ever seen a bursty AP just walk up, Combo, and leave the fight like you make it sound. People hang around and wait for MAX 5 seconds for a full rotation to be back up and then wipe out whos left. The only champs who are like that are Kat, Kennen, Fiddle etc. Whos kind of just teamfight oriented anyway.

Why it isnt appealing is because it has no offensive components, I said that theres no reason for it to have offensive stats because there are already enough Offense/Defense Items for AP's as it is. And If It was implemented you couldnt tack AP onto it as then it would turn into a must on everyone, the lack of offense is what makes it balanced.
