New Character...new character? What about a new Map?

I am terrified for the balance of this character. On the one hand, she could be played well, and overpowered by those that play her well. On the other hand, she could be considered underpowered by those that don't play her well. On the mutant third hand, she could be in a state of balance limbo because she is only good enough if played perfectly, goes unplayed, and fades into obscurity.

ALWAYS BAN KARTHUS...he does that thing that hits everyone on the map.
ALWAYS BAN EVE...she goes stealth for 50 seconds and slows u when she comes out and kills u
ALWAYS BAN KASSADIN...he has big nuke silence and teleports around like a madman...

then i learned karthus gets sh*t on in lane, eve is well ...eve, and kassadin is only sometimes banned

Point being...theres too many champs to learn about...i only recently learned about the tanky ones...like when i just hit 30, simply because not many used volibear, riven, etc. I still couldn't describe all 101? champions' 4 abilities+passive to you , because theres simply too many. Stop making champions...maybe start making a new map we can play on, some new items to use, make the game AS IT IS more fun, dont start adding 10 items a week, but maybe a couple new ones, mostly make a new map cuz that we have been waiting for a while

I have been playing LoL maybe 3-4 months. I can tell you what every single champion does and who their best counter is. It's called playing the game, it's a strategy based game which would require research and trial and error to fully understand. I have observed every champion 'at least' in their overview, though I am sure I have also watched every champion in gameplay. I can tell you not to harass a LeBlanc because they can bite back easily. I can tell you not to chase a Nidalee cause they can harass on the run. I can tell you not to face rush a Morde because they have an ever-refillable shield. I can tell you Amumu has 2 stuns. I can tell you to stay clear of Heimers turrets. I can tell you about any champion in the game and I haven't even been playing half a year.
It's part of the game, the diversity is for each individual player to find their true champion. There is nothing complicated about it, you just learn your enemies.

Oh look,another incredibly overpowered champion. All riot is doing is making op champions so everyone buys them with rp,then nerfs them 3 weeks later. Only to repeat the process again.

I am excited for this champ!
But riot, We do need new support champs!
And a new map and/or game mode:
Circular area for a 10 man free for all?

champ mecanic seems original and pretty cool to me, the one thing I dont like about her is her passive, bonus effect to normal abilities at rank 5? really? well yeah thats cool i guess it kind of gives some extra there but... you could have added that without wasting the passive, I mean in a normal game playing regularly the first ability we max gets to rank 5 until level 9 (general scenario) so I basically spend early game without a real use for my passive, then at level 9 it starts to function in 1 ability, sure its cool to have an added effect but doesnt take away the fact that 9 lv passed and my passive was worthless and then more levels have to pass until I max my second ability and then until lv 18 I get my passive to work on my third ability.
Sure this is a real TLDR but my mayor concern its that the passive does nothing until you get each ability to rank 5, sure thats the idea of the mechanic, you have to think carfully wish ability is more useful with the added effect so max that one and bla bla. I get that but still I dont like wasting a passive in that, I know passives are not supposed to be game-breaking abilities but making a passive that has an effect that abilities could already have seems like a waste to me, sure thats my opinion I know this may seem like a lot of non-sense but if we think it carefully it does make sense.
Anyway the concept and mecanic seem great, I like the champ and Im looking forward for her to come out. Keep it up Riot!
