Enchanters Current State

Here is a ranking of enchanters from healthy to unhealthy kits imo (including Hybrids: Morgana, Taric, Karma, and Kayle)

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/suggestion/images/8/89/Enchanter_Large.png/revision/latest?cb=20141123122750

Rank 1:

Nami : Nami has a very fun kit that has barely been touched since her release. She accomplishes everything you can want in an enchanter (cc, buffs, and damage) while not being over dominant in any department. Taric : As a Taric main pre-rework I was skeptical about his new kit for a while, but now I love it. He's not the best at being a tank nor being an enchanter but rather is a weird mix of the two that can be powerful when played right.

Rank 2:

Lulu : Lulu has had some problems in the past (looking at tank and machine gun Lulu's) but what makes her kit fun is that its you have options, the decisions of making an offensive or defensive play is crucial and takes skill. Zilean : Zilean is was basically the original Bard, before people knew what that meant. He can be super troll but also so much fun to play. There are faults in his kit though like his repetitive gameplay and a terrible passive (seriously its not interactive, it's just tedious). Bard : Bard was considered a failure for such a long time but now is a decent pick with some appearances in pro play. Unfortunately he is so overloaded with abilities that don't synergize as well as they should, holding him back from really being a great enchanter.

Rank 3:

Morgana : Morgana has always felt weird to me as a support and mage, maybe it's because she is probably the most linear when it comes to this list. Hopefully her VU with a small GU will really make her interactive to play against instead of 3 seconds of hell. Kayle : Kayle is not really played as an enchanter but she's still unhealthy where ever she's played in. Again I hope her VGU along with Morgana delivers an interesting as well as a healthy kit.

Rank 4:

Sona : Out of all the enchanters, Sona is my least favorite. Aside from that, she is a heal bot (all Rank 4's are heal/shield bots) that has such an amazing theme but has yet to be translated into her kit. However since I'm not a Sona fan I realize this is biased, but all of her main abilities seem bland imo. Karma : So... she is not a pure enchanter and that use to be obvious, however Karma suffers from miss guided changes that leave her in a weird spot. She's a balance of all things except when it comes to balancing being an enchanter and a battle mage. Currently she has shifted far into the enchanter side and subsequently has become a shield bot. Soraka : Another heal bot that doesn't require much to be really successful. Her kit has seen so many small reworks that its hard to keep up, mostly due to Soraka being so oppressive and the definition of anti-fun. I think they should use the opportunity to introducing a skill shot heal on her kit. If its too much then scrap it but this point and click perma heal she's got going on ever since release has got to be changed. Janna : The queen of peel, Janna is absurdly strong and, like the other Rank 4's, give enchanters a bad name. I personally love Janna but it's obnoxious how hard it is to kill someone with her on the enemy team. Her shields and ult are to blame imo. Having such a huge shield that also gives ad is already a lot but adding on an immediate knock back and heal with her ult is just too much. Some of that power should be shifted to her w and lack luster passive.

It's actually much harder to kill soraka's adc than janna's adc. Janna just peels way better than soraka so escaping is easier for janna's adc if need be.

If you think Sona is just a healbot then either you have no idea how to play her/play with her Technically she has the most "enchanter" like spellkit next to Lulu, it offers buffs, debuffs, slows, hastes, shields and healing

Taric is rank1 as AD Swain is.

He needs overcoordinated team mates in order to be of impact plus high prediction sense, any other enchanter is superior to him.

So many simple changes to Karma can put her in a better spot than how she currently is. A lot of these suggestions come from Karma mains, which Riot decides to ignore and just overload her shield. Sad to see Riot accepts this champion in her current state. She could be both a good support and mid laner while being fun, but choose to go a super simple, boring, and overloading a single skill (her shield) to make her viable. I honestly hate seeing how even the community accepts this and even encourages this by saying Karma is fine...
