By what standard is the AoE overpowered? By what standard is the tradeoff too harsh? You're making all of these judgments of value without substantiating them in any way, and stating your opinion as if it were fact. That you bring up as an example of a champion who makes too many tradeoff is telling, because I think he has one of the most well-defined niches in the game, and has great design because of it. I also disagree with your thought process: to you, a champion being too strong or too weak means their design is fundamentally flawed, so whereas I think Gnar and Azir are great champions, you think they're bad simply because their balance is off. It makes no sense to argue on the finer points of a custom champion's numbers without concrete references, let alone extrapolate those to their design.
