When he was released, he could activate his charm during his W, he could flash during W and his W was very fast. This essentially gave him uninterruptable engage.

He was changed so that now you cannot flash or W within a very short time period after using R, which makes it impossible to R-flash or R-W-flash, making his engage have more counterplay if you have vision of him.

f-r-m

does that happen to malphite too ? ,cause he has 1000 range and 80% of adc doesn't have any tool to dodge that without items or summoner spells, which is kind of fucked up when you see everyone having 38 seconds cdr r , and see jax/fiora getting more skills towards 6 seconds cooldown late game without 40% cdr . ( it just feels wrong what happens when you see cc/dashes/jumps have no anymore counter part to them power spike , for exemple jax jump 700 radius and you give him 6 sec cd in late game , when he get it every 4 seconds in a fight on 40% cdr ).

What's the point of having 40% cdr limit or 45% cdr limit , if you can further reduce it from cloud drakes and ultimate hunter your ultimate.

And does it makes anymore sense to call it ultimate ,if you have it every fight , where is season 3 when you was suppouse to hit your R and make the difference with it , and in return if you would miss it to get punish by enemy team. ( having the advantage of seeing your oponnent without all it's tools in a fight)

It's far easier to dodge Malphite's ultimate than Rakans old RW combo. It was so fast there was legitimately no counterplay.
