Abilities can't be exactly the same as others because that's boring and repetitive. No one wants the same champion released twice. There will NEVER be a champion that doesn't have bugs that need to be worked out no matter how common the mechanic is. Also if you look at his kit: Q - targeted ability (common thing) with AoE effect (champion specific). W - skill shot that explodes (Karma, Quinn, etc.) with mark that gives move speed (marks are very common, move speed think Quinn W passive). E - simple dash (Graves, Vayne, etc.) removes slows (Evelynn W, Garen Q). R - Single direction channeled skill shot (Lux, Ezreal, etc.) with it's own champion specific mechanics. And lastly, Riot is not trying to release champions quickly. In fact they said they want to slow it down from last year. They have said how many champions they are releasing this year so they're not going to come faster even if it's a simple champion.
