User blog comment:Shigfugjum/Power Creep and the Fate of Older Champions/@comment-5588011-20150902155542

Power creep isn't really a major problem, it can easily be bandaided by number tweaks. Rather it's the problem of champions who have one-dimensional kits being too strong, leading to little expression of skill, unfairness towards other players. I'm assuming that Riot's solution to this is using champions that while simple have a clear expression of skill and counters. This is probably in the form of high-mechanic champions such as Yasuo (Is it weird I still find him new.) Or Tahm Kench with his weaknesses such as low mobility, yet strong strengths such as his ultimate and ability to remove an enemy from a fight.
