Season 8 wish list
Well well well welly well well. Here we are fellow summoners. Nearing the end of season 7. A lot has happened this season. We got The practice tool. New champions. A LOT of reworks. RNG dragons. Plants! better masteries, rotating game modes, the replay system New items, Lethality, and probably tons more I forgot. I'd like to take this moment to thank riot for keeping up with the game, and making sure all of their players enjoy the game, and I'd like to add that I love the fact that their rewarding not only new players soon with the new blue essence system, but making things easier for new players by merging the, lets be honest, weird runes and masteries into runes reforged AND making them free. Now that all that's out of the way lets get to the actual list.
There are a lot of things I'd like to ask riot for, and I know a majority of these things probably won't be done this season, but I feel like if I start some discussions about these things they may, POSSIBLY think about putting them into the game. So, with all these disclaimers out of the way, I'm going to get to the list. I tried not to add anything too out of left field, so I think everything I've listed here is at least plausible for an update of some kind.
ITEM CHANGES
Most of these are asking for new items, but a few are geared toward some changes to specific items.
should have a passive This has bothered me for the longest time, every pair of boots in the game has a passive of some kind, except for maybe
but even then you could argue that the huge out of combat movement speed they give IS the passive, so why not these? Maybe nerf the AS and give it a passive of some kind.
- New boots that grant move speed towards targeted allies Mostly for the support class, not super necessary, but we haven't seen new boots in a long time.
- Boots that give crit chance For those ADC's Like
or champs like
who really don't need the attack speed from
- For these Items
![]()
![]()
and others like them to be less essential
- More AP support items Tank supports have more options than ever with
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
out there, I feel less tanky supports like
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and
could use support items that also give them AP besides just
![]()
and
. Just make sure the items aren't too forgiving like Ardent though.
- More items from these
![]()
![]()
Secondary items could be utilized way better in league right now, especially one's as unique as the above mentioned. Imagine if
built into
or an item more tailored to fighters for example.
and
reworks
has a unique active that would heavily benefit divers, but gives stats you'd expect for a support tank, while
has an active perfect for a support, AND stats perfect for a support, but is so situational that it's often overlooked. Maybe split
into two items, one for support-tanks, and one for divers. Maybe have
grant like 50 AP as well as MR.
CHAMPION CHANGES
Ok disclaimer, just because a champ is on this list doesn't mean i think they need a full scale rework, in fact I'll order them based on how heavily I believe they need changes, from a champ who needs the least changes (but still something major) to the champ I believe needs the most changes (possibly a full update). This isn't including any champs that have already been greenlighted for reworks or updates like
![]()
or
.
: very small changes, maybe pull power from his ultimate and put it in the rest of his kit, as well as give him a new defensive passive that is more interactive, or make his W clones move/auto depending on what Wukong was last doing when activated the ability.
: I previously talked about how I wanted a full rework for Kayle, I'd like to retract my statement. Honestly I'd be happy if they'd just put her E on her passive, and grant her a new ability to play with, also a visual update would be appreciated here.
: More power on her ultimate in some way that's not just buffing the numbers. Now that other movespeed abilities outshine her ultimate I feel it's laughably lackluster, even while keeping in mind it's a pure utility ultimate. Also a better kiting passive
: I... I don't even play this champion to be honest, I just want him to have more lightning elemental powers in his kit
: here's where we're getting into full mini-reworks, https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/Udu1MoRE-kayle-and-morgana-potential-reworks
: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/p3XmvjE4-karmas-balancing
: something to separate her from
, and I know Riot has tried making her into more of a fighter/assassin hybrid by toughing up her passive, and putting her attack speed on her E, but I feel a rework is in order. Just a gameplay update though, nothing visual
: He's already got a niche as the "Stat stealer" but he's never really threat unless he's fed. Maybe make his ultimate steal stats from everyone, but only when they are close to him? Maybe make his W sap movespeed over time and have his E actually do damage?
: Change his Q, W, and E. I like the idea of armor-empowered auto's and Attack speed negation, but they're just too simple. Also PLEASE update him visually
: I don't know how you'll fix them, but please do. I really just want them to fulfill their game play fantasy
: At this point we are getting to the bigger reworks, not making them into new champions, but changing almost everything about them, Lissandra is a battle mage, but that's about it. She doesn't really do a great job on the whole "Ice queen" archetype, and yes while this is somewhat intentional to make her character unique, I feel the ice queen aspect could be done WAY better in her gameplay. Keep the ultimate though.
: I still want him to be big, goofy purple man, but every and I mean EVERY ability can be changed into something similar, but not the same. Similar to how Riot changed
's kit over time to heal better, shred armor, clense slows, and grant a timed tenacity bonus. Mundo needs something like that. Keep his Q the same though, please.
: ok at this point we are at the major reworks, where champs like Galio went from a blueberry to this
. besides TF's pick a card and ultimate, I'd change literally everything about him. His Q is basically just a fancy skillshot, his E is just...... so un-interactive, and while his passive is something to give him a niche,
does the same thing, but better
: The last champion and one I really want the biggest rework done to. Besides his Q, Nunu's kit is just so bland. HIs W makes no since gameplay wise, his E while being somewhat unique is just frustrating to play against and his ultimate is something you'd expect a battle mage to have, not.... whatever nunu is. Maybe put his Q as his passive where every so often he takes a true damage bite out of monsters and heals, but other than that... change everything else.
GAMEPLAY CHANGES Not too much here, but some points to talk about anyway
- Practice tool I'd just like more control, I'd like to face off against multiple bots, or control where the bots will go/how they act to try things out. I'd like items like
and
to be more easily stacked. I'd like more control on the games time, rather than just skipping 30 seconds at a time. Stuff like that.
- Tower update https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/4sE7AAVj-leagues-towers
- Map update I know not many people play twisted treeline, but I still feel like as long as it's in the game, you should have it updated. The jungle looks like old league, and the music is just kind of.... OOOOOooooo spoooooopy. Like it's Halloween but EVERY TIME yo go there. The textures don't match well when compared to summoners rift or even the Howling abyss.
And that's all. I already know I'm going to get at least one comment about the champs I chose but, hey this is why it's a discussion. Comment on what YOU want in the game below, and maybe riot will see it.
