The problem is that, in a game with more than 100 characters with (at least) 5 abilities each, it's very easy for two or more to have an overlaying kit (not sure if I'm being clear enough here). Making a champion reliant on one mechanic means that, no matter how similar their kit is to other champions', they'll be unique because of that. It's a way to avoid repetitions.
