Champions that need a rework and my suggestions
Excluding the 2 characters that have already been confirmed to have massive reworks coming those being warwick and galio, i sat down to think who else needs a rework, so i will share with you my thoughts on why these characters need reworks and some of my thought on what could make fun new skills to have these characters use, the readers can discuss the strengths and the skills that can be considered the identity of the character try to keep it civil.
1 -
- arguably one of the most iconic characters in the game teemo can be considered trash, while many people love him he lacks team fight skills (mushrooms don't count as team fight skills) he lacks the most basic of things a Role, what role does he fill ? adc? mid? top ? jungle ? he has lack luster kit and lacks any utility and will die in 2 seconds if any thing with burst damage gets to his fluffy face and melts it off.
His identity and most iconic items are his blowpipe and his mushrooms although lack luster his mushrooms can be useful but not as an ultimate placing them in key places can be very painful for the enemy team some still say OP the arming time on the mushrooms is long and using them in a team fight is unreliable at best, his blind is useful in a 1v1 situation and his toxic shot is arguably also part of his identity.

- called by many one of the most "toxic" champions (yes that's a sad attempt at a singed joke) he is loved by a small part of the community but his problems becomes obvious when you play him, he needs people to ether chase him or he needs to get in front of people he cant really team fight he lacks skills for that except the flip that can interrupt a channeled ult like jhin's ult or katarina's ult also the slow witch lets be honest is not that good his ult is lack luster as well.
His most iconic skill is his Poison trail this skill is where the memes "don't chase singed " and "don't breathe the purple smoke" this is kind of crap, singed can proxy waves really well (then die to a roaming jungler) he can even jungle to some extent even though his jungle clear is horrid he also has a slow that makes his life a little easier flipping people like a burger (burger flipper singed would make a good skin) his ult gives his poison a little more kick and gives a little more mr as well as health regeneration aside from that its a pointless ult. he is the meat shield no one will hit and he cant put enough pressure to make you hit him or focus him.
Suggestions for possible reworks and skill ideas
For teemo ive been thinking of giving him a ranged/ranged play style similar to jayce, nidalee and elise move his mushrooms to his W and make his ult a stance swap like a jayce or nidalee i wanted to give him a more viable jungling path and more top lane potential.
P - Guerilla Warfare - same as he has now i think it works well with him being a scout and all
Ranged
Q - Blinding dart - same as he has now it works well for what i want him to be
melee
Q - Grass cutter - teemo slashes in a cone in front of him dealing damage if a champion has a stack of bleed they are slowed for 30% for 1.5 seconds
Ranged W - Noxious Trap - moved his ult to this since its so lack luster as an ult i think it works well as a standard ability with slightly worse scaling early and stronger late game mainly used for the slow Melee W - Move Quick - same move speed bonuses works the same
Ranged E - Toxic Shot - people think this is a core skill and vital to the identity of teemo along with his mushrooms so i left it as is Melee E - Go for the throat - Teemo jumps at targeted unit and latches onto them after 1 second teemo slashes their throat causing them to bleed for 3 seconds
R - Scouts tools - Teemo changes from his blow pipe to his machete switching from ranged to melee accessing his second skill kit here is where the bacon sizzles
Ill be honest im lost as to what would make singed viable his theme is heavy on alchemy so i was thinking of a more support kit with his ult let me know if you guys have other ideas
P - Empowered Bulwark - i got nothing leave it the same for now cant really think of a good passive for him
Q - Poison Trail - this one stays the same due to it being a icon of what singed is and his play style don't want to rustle the jimmies of all 4 or 5 singed mains
W - Mega Adhesive - singed flings a vile of Adhesive slowing the target for 3 seconds singed can fling more vials of adhesive to stack the slow eventually rooting the target (this works with an ammo system and can slow multiple characters at once making him viable in team fights)
E - Flash bomb - singed flings a bomb that explodes after 0.5 seconds stunning the target in a small aoe for 1.5 seconds
R - Chemical X - singed uses his experimental potion to turn a friendly champion into a monster giving allies bonus damage as well as granting bonus armor and MR
