Cooldown based champions are all pretty much completely broken. Even katarina is, though she also just happens to have a terrible kit that balances it out. Garen, Vlad, Riven, Trynd. They're all easy to play for the most part, and will completely dominate unless they're directly countered. They're all bad against people with consistent poke and sustain, except for maybe vlad, who is balanced out by having a mediocre team fighting stage. It's one of the things i wish RIOT never did in the first place, make CD based champs.
