Riot and Reworks advices for the future.

Hello,

I'm playing since season 2 and i'm really upset that when riot reworks characters there is not a lot left from the past. From the original concepts and kits of older champions.

Don't get me wrong change is needed and it is good for the game.

However i really feel like each rework the new Riot is trying to erase completely previous riot work.

Sion

I mean sion rework was great. But his old ult was unique and interesting an concept. They made it in his passive. But i still think that a tank which could be able to lifesteal back all his life in some seconds would still be interesting. His new ult is a great engage and has perhaps more impact however a lot of characters already have great engages.

Soraka :

She has a moon on her staff. The space stars thematic has been like removed. Her old q was sure overpowered... however they could have left some offensive spells. New ones aren't bad but She relies mainly only on sustain... she feels like a bad sona without poke now. since riot made this change her popularity decreased a lot.

Yorrick :

God he was the pokemon trainer he got 3 ghouls blue red green with 3 different effects. That made him way different from other characters. They could have sticked to the concept of having different ghouls. However The ult rework was nice.

Poppy :

This one got his identity killed by a phenomena which i call hype for thor movies. Thor movies are selling well so lets surf on the hype. Poppy was meant to be the high armored and fast charging yordle. I mean the ult is great but it had nothing to do with old poppy thematic

Graves :

did you know that graves was meant to be an adc ? Well now graves adc doesnt exist at all... he is mainly jungle. It is strong for sure. However as an adc...

Ryze : ask him, well he probably doesn't remember lol.

Galio : it could have been a great rework.... if you just have kept his ult !!!! Everything was nice. However this new galio ult.... it isnt galio for me. Sure you can help your team however i really think you have less impact in teamfights compared to old galio

Swain :

Swain identity was his R turning into this fucking crow and being the deamon sucking ennemies life while controling the battle. Now he is like vlad and lost his main identity.

Good reworks those for me are the only ones that riot made perfectly :

Warwick : every concept from his initial kit is there. It has just got some modifications. This one was the perfect one big GG to the people which worked on it.

Urgot : the thematic is there. The shield is there, the mark aiming and dealing more damage too. The new ult still applies controls when achieving ennemies.

Darius : the q rework was a really nive idea.

Xin zhao : every ability from xin kit is still there with a few tweaks and improvements.

Talon : well new talon is just an improved version of old talon it kept is main abilities doing the job way better. And the jump wall was a big extra.

It would be nice if riot tried at least to keep unique ults or some abilities which are part of a character identity when they rework characters don't you think ?
