First, spell shields always have short windows to force the player to use them when it is actually going to do something and not just walk around freely. There's an item for that and it costs 2750.

Second, the AS passive may be only as good as having an AS item, but for a champ that is AA reliant every but of AS counts. Otherwise, Tristana's Q would be trash and we all know that isn't true.

Third, not all champions have escapes. Newer ones tend to for the most part due to mobility creep, which Riot has already said is hard for them to figure out how to deal with. He is a pick-based, all-in assassin. However he is older, from back when a few had escapes, but certainly not all of them and many had to sacrifice damage in order to use them.
