Well, you know what? I, to some point, regret maining this guy, and i believe it's possible that Riot regrets creating him.

A champion that actually has stuff to learn in order to be mastered, but still does most of his job even if you just roll your face on the keyboard.

A champion that has almost the greatest difference between certain parts of the game, being barely beatable in lane, and then barely able to do anything in lategame, not to mention endgame, which has the potential to make the match frustrating for BOTH teams.

A top laner that was given an ability that protects him from being stomped in most matchups against ranged champions, but is barely ever used for that purpose due to people not realizing how it works, and the fact it's not a thing anymore in lategame.

A champion that was almost copied fully based on a certain character from other MOBA but with few changes, and actually turned to be greatly different than the character he was based on (and IMO even better).

A champion that is so misunderstood that his most popular build consists of items that barely even synergize with his playstyle.

A champion that is mostly based on managing distance between himself and the enemy laner and good trades, but has an ability that allows him to ignore both and just make the enemy trade with you even if they don't want to.

A champion that literally requires your enemies to do a mistake in order to be useful outside of the lane, reducing his chances to be picked in competitive to near zero.

I understand why lots of people do not like this, and that even Riot might feel bad about releasing him. And the lower win rate he has, the healthier top lane is.

By the way, if his ultimate can trigger an instant recall, it actually might be useful.
