Guys, there is a huge difference in gameplay if your dashing ability is a passive/basic ability or an ultimate, same for stealth mechanics. For example akali is considered (not always) weak pre lvl 6 against ranged champs while katarina is stronger due to her Shunpo. Stealth every few basic attacks gives you some trade potential in lane  while giving you the opportunity for repositioning in teamfights on kill or assists. So i would say yes, similiar to vayne and kha zix but also pre lvl 6!!! And i don't see why this champion is bad. For me, this no cost passively  gained stealth and the global targeted "gap closer" is not yet included in league and a nice idea. If you don't like that champion, it is your opponion for sure, like you dislike champions of the league. To be honest, there are a lot of abilities in this game that are really similar to each other, not by kind of damage, but by utility (tristana jump vs kha jump, vayne E vs poppy E, and ofcourse the basic attack enhancement abilities). Now you have Kalista. Let me think.. adc that grants vision..
