Man, I just look at Ambessa and think to myself, if I were the head of Riot I would kindly ask why the design team thought this many dashes in one champs was okay? And then tell them to make the next 10 champions have no dashes, blinks or movement speed buffs. Limitation often sparks creativity, and the fact that I feel like the design team would rather remove their tonsils with a power drill rather than make a champ with no dashes.
