I don't like too much Bard's gameplay design either, but he is not bad per se just because of low to null damage and double edged-utility, is that he is only useful at the hands of willing and versed players, else he ends up trolling unintentionally.

I don't believe that those points of generalized components for a kit are bad.


 * An "opressive" kit is a term with a very large range of meanings, opressive to the user, to the opponent, the team, the very flow of gameplay?
 * Riot responded its reason of why so many Airborne CC: is the easiest crowd control effect to visually represent, making it easier to learn for uninformed players.
 * Double passives aren't meant to be bad (from my perspective) as long as they either:
 * a) Complement each other, and only each other (Bard).
 * b) One of the components is active and non-reliable / non-spammable (Azir an Kalista)

And that's why I hate Yasuo's Innate. :V
