You get a root if you either land a trap unto an enemy, hit them with a basic attack or an ally tags them with damage. If you miss it, you basically become even more vulnerable. It's a thin hitbox and does little damage outside of poke scenarios, it leaves you open with it's cast time and it's only saving benefit is that it applies DFT on Single Target, since it doesn't deal full damage to minions and it stops on first champion hit. You also don't get the MovSpd buff if you hit it without the root.

If you kill with this dude, you are most likely CDR Out or without Bullets(so about 2 seconds where you deal zero damage) so the Lotus Trap actually helps zone out threats or keep up his damage in a fight, DFT doesn't apply on Lotus Trap Activation(plues AoE application) nor does it on Autos(so a bunch of damage is wasted if you miss with the actual skillshots, since those apply DFT on single target) and he has quite the slow AS despite having a nice buffering on his autos.

Why are you complaining about? If anything, this guy kit is almost perfectly balanced. Even with the future nerfs, he still is quite skill based and his reliant to know when and how to approach a fight.
