Even if it is not just a simple compilation of other champion skills, it still doesn't add anything really authentic to our current pool, right? See, looking backwards at the ten latest champs releases:

Nami is a skillshot-oriented supportive champion, Zed has a shadow clone mechanics, Elise changes forms and has many pets, Kha'zix has his own evolution system, Syndra grabs things and throws them around, Rengar has his Ferocity bar and an item of his own. Diana, however, brought nothing new, but her kit whole kits sinergyzes pretty well with itself. Zyra has her seeds, Jayce is melee and ranged at once, without changing human form. Draven catches axes and has a League of his own, Darius has a refresh-when-kill true damage ultimate.

All these champions I mentioned brought something new to the League, adding variety to our game. Even though you argued Flames' skills are not a mere copy of other champions' skills, they reminded me of these skills anyway, which already lowers the value of this new champ, don't you agree?

And her theme, a Fire Mage... there's no bigger cliché, and we already have Brand and Annie to to the job.
