Handicaps are something I don't like that much in games when it's not done well. Luckily, no "Champ with Handicap" so far is unpleasant to play as, since everyone has a trade-off that feels natural. Cait's net, for example, is bad as a damaging ability in itself, but can be used for escapes, for gapclosing and as a disengage after a long fight to finish the enemy off with her ult (where she needs the distance to snipe someone safely).

It must be well-designed, though, otherwise it feels clunky.
