recent reworks are destroying off-meta builds
From attack speed orianna to Titanic hydra AD Cho'Gath, off-meta builds can be a fun way to bring variety to the game. I myself would've never gotten into the game if it weren't for the variety LoL champions provide; the game would get too boring for me without that exploration. Sadly, due to recent mini-reworks on items and champions, roles are getting more and more solidified;
Cho'gaths rework is a massive nerf on AD/jgl Cho'Gath, making it nearly unplayable (especially in the lower levels, due to mana issues) the Ancient Coins rework is a nerf to stealth supports; since it no longer gives that lane sustain in the form of health regen, and also shows your location when grabbing coins, it is alot harder and less effective to play stuff like Evelynn support. Zeke's Harbringers rework completely destroyed Evelynn support, as there are no more upsides to it; her ult doesn't have that short of a cooldown, and her other cooldowns don't affect Zeke's anymore.
I know sometimes items/champions feel like they need some minor tweaks, but I ask you, keep the off-meta lovers in mind; an ability doesn't have to feel impactful in a champions main role in order to add to the gameplay.
Has one of your builds ever been wrecked by a rework? Leave a comment about what it was and how it was wrecked below!
used to be a really good support. Guess who's not a good support anymore.
makes me sad sometimes. When they changed Banner first of all to no longer include AP was the first step. It used to be a case that with masteries and a bead, you could have 50 HP5 by like level 4 or 5 so never really needed potions again. Banner, Zz'rot, spirit visage and yes, even Ohmwrecker was viable with it.
