Which champion that got reworked do you guys miss the most?

Mine's probably either old Galio or old Yorick.

While I do miss old Yorick's kit, I respect the rework's gameplay changes - I definitely miss his older ugly hunchback look though. I liked the idea of him being an ugly champion (Like old Trundle) with zero lore significance, stuck in limbo for his own failings and forgotten by all. I've never been a fan of all these handsome or cute champions who are gods or have some maguffin or super secret awesome unique power that'll control the fate of the universe, it's so common. There's one concept art that captures his lowly design perfectly, and the old Undertaker splash was one of my all time favourites for capturing Yorick as dejected and alone. In contrast the new splash is him looking all manly mid kill glaring at you like "GRRR LOOK AT HOW TOUGH I AM GRRRRR". On a side note Darius has the exact same issue with his base splash: Old was calculating and commanding, new one is "LOOK AT ME SHOUT AAAAAAA"

Taric's and Swain's were pretty much perfect, only real issue I have with the latter is the change of his ult from berserker monster within to Final Fantasy final boss form. You can probably tell that looks and stuff are important to me when it comes to reworks :P

Hunchback Yorick was the best waifu in League.

Loved his lore a lot more than the new one. It was pretty unique. New one feels so generic. Protag 57 with mysterious power is shunned for it, then tragic event 114 happens and things go south, and with this the protag finds out his unique power is a thing that could save the day!!! etc.. etc..

Riot is really putting an emphasis on the "Legends" part in "League of Legends" nowadays.

It either has to be a demigod that can punch mountains... Ornn

... Or a supernatural teenage girl that can control reality... Zoe

Apparently we're not allowed to have a simply guy anymore.

:(, a sad day indeed when a interesting story has to take a back seat to that.

i miss reworked leblanc and rengar, i pref them to the old counterparts cause 0 counterplay 1 shots are not fun at all. 2 reworks that were actually a success to adding counterplay to broken champs.

Malzahar. Honest, he was my main. Loved his kit, fun to play, and also, he had a laning presence. This heavily gimped version is so pathetic in lane I requires either a horrible pick mid like thresh, or a person that is so horrible at league to do anything in the lane except push and be an ult bot.

Remember when people went Malzahar support?

The guy's all over the place.

I will never forget pressing R on old Poppy to become immune to damage and cc from everyone on the enemy team except the enemy Soraka and then proceeding to 1v5 xD

Yeah and ignoring all damage that was more than 10% of your max hp was pretty fun as well.

The old voicelines made my ears bleed though.

And who can forget the old Lollipoppy skin?

Nightmares for days.
