Conclusion: Riot hates playstyles I enjoy.

I'm sure I'm not the only one...

Some of Riot's reworks are just awesome! However others seem to completely change the identity of a champion or change their playstyle completely. This has happened to many MANY of my champions I have loved in the past year. It's like a completely different champ that has similar art and the same name as the one I enjoyed.

I'm not saying all the reworks are bad. Some are REALLY on point. However far too many have completely changed how a champion is played and I'm getting really tired of it.

Malzahar - Basically new champ, is best in Jungle now. His AP burst is HORRIBLE compared to before. Fiora - New champ, same look/name. Shen - Wtsf is this sword? Teemo Thank god he's the same champ... but cutting 5 mins off the shroom timer was way more intense than they act like. Just a few examples.

On top of this, because all the assassin/hyper mobile champs are getting tank items all my tanks are being hit right in the items. /sigh.

Sion: melee ADC with infinite HP scaling terribad early -> godlike late easy stun for trading/"gap closing" small shield to survive the early game with changed to: tank with infinite HP scaling (this is worse) oppressive early -> just a distraction late game. Ult for gap closing, unreliable CC too unreliable to help him with his late game weakness

Riot said that if they had a chance to rework Nasus , they would likely put a cap on his Q stack. Nasus is suffering in the current meta so a rework is possible.

Clearly they don't understand that the fun in Nasus is stacking all game in hope of reaching the 2-shot raid boss fantasy.

The day they heavily remake Teemo is the day I just quit.

My list of top-played champions: Shen - yeah you all know about him Gangplank - my main and favorite champ before the rework. Now I can barely play him. (oddly enough, it was the visual update that made him feel so much worse to me) Vladimir - the changes could have been worse, but it certainly takes away from his easy-to-play nature. Even with a ping of 300+ i could still not-feed with him. Yorick - ??????? I dont even know what to expect but I'm terrified.
