Ryze has a shit ton of machine gun CC and burst and a movespeed steroid, and Sivir has 2 massive movespeed steroids and a spellshield. That makes them relatively safe champions (Sivir more than Ryze). Yet Ezreal with one blink is safer than Sivir with her 2 steroids and spellshield. Ashe is iffy since she can actually be doved and killed (for some reason they been building BT first item Ashe recently) relatively easily...she is seeing some play but she is starting to fall off due to her immobility...Varus is also a case of a champion who's lack of mobility made unplayable in the bot lane.

Mobility is still a problem. The last completely immobile champion released was Vel'Koz and he's completely in the dust. Sure mobility isn't as much of an issue, (except when Ekko dives and kills me as Xerath under tower, when i spent the entire time in lane farming with max range Q-W's and blinks out of my stun at the same time while Chronobreaking away after the kill...balanced) but from where i see it's because Riot has been loading immobile champion kits with other stuff to compensate. Case and point, Viktor rework. Massive pushing power, absurd burst, both single target and AOE, AOE CC, zoning and kiting power (although his ultimate DoT is pretty weak), the 2nd highest AP item in the game.

Mobility spells aren't a red herring...they carry alot of power to then, which thankfully Riot realized and made some of the immobile champion kits up to par to match them (Viktor, Ashe, Ryze, Jayce)...but for every mobility spell you need 3 spells worth of crazy to counter-balance their power. Perhaps if Riot introduced anti-mobility mechnics similar to Azir's wall or Viktor's W, then you could say that mobility isn't an issue, since it actually has a counter to it.
