I don't think you understand how development works either.

There are 119 unique champions. They can't just stick a kit on him and expect it to work.

And as for you saying it takes over 1 year to design a champion yet people make games in that time? I can only laugh. The entire team isn't working on this one champion. It's likely one or two people, who are also busy making other champions and balancing the rest of the 119 champion pool. These 'games released in 1 year' probably also spend the same amount of time developing their characters (remember, they're not just working on Ao Shin), while other people are also developing the rest of the game at the same time.

Yasuo not as innovative as Ao Shin? Not only is he the first champion that has an ability that intercepts any projectile and destroys it, but he's also the first champion that has an ability that can only be casted on people afflicted with a certain status effect. Oh and trust me, people spent a lot of IP/RP on said 'mediocre' champion. He was on both teams nearly every blind pick game. And this is coming from someone who has only tried him during free week and didn't like him.

Braum is probably the first support that's actually really engaging to play. Yeah Taric and Leona can make some pretty awesome plays, but they are limited by CDs, crippling mana costs, and parts of their kits doing things that anyone else can do. I'll still probably continue playing Taric, but in no way is Braum 'mediocre', and to be honest, I feel intimidated by Braum.

I will admit Lucian was actually pretty unoriginal. Twitch ulted basic attack Q. Generic dash. Revealing AoE shot. And while his ult was unique, it was nerfed to oblivion before he was even released, as if Riot thought that's why he was 'op'.

Jinx just caters to a different type of crowd than just 'min/max ranked stompers'. Though her switcharoo is somewhat interesting, zap, flame chompers, and her ult are quite dull. Her passive is very neat though.
