Dude you sound seriously pissed and I' just posting here for fun and for exposing my very valid opinion.

There are redundancy in crowd control lately. Sejuani as been reworked with a knock-up and both Zac and Vi have been built around knockup ultimates. That's three champion in a very short period of time. Redundancy is the only thing I wanted to expose. Sure I elaborated on much more things, but that was just my thoughts doing what they pleased.

It is true that there are plenty of tactics, but one beats them all and is the safest. It involves hard initiation. There is no counter to hard initiation in the mid-game, unless you have a very good lead. The thing is, nowaday, having hard initiation comes with barely any counterpart.

Having crazy damage comes with being squishy.

But having plenty of HCC comes with... being ultra tanky and/or having %hp damage, which in the end makes you more of a threat than any "glass canon" build.

Maybe that's a result of tank item being so incredibly OP lately, idk. I'm just theorizing, which is what this blog is for.
