The Champions I hope get added to the rework list of 2018
So my predictions riot probably only has time to add three more champions to the rework list of 2018. So that being said here are three champions I think desperately need it.
So with the introduction of his brother Ornn, volibear got a pretty bad ass lore update, and well, now that we have Ornn, it really does bring a reminder on how boring and forgotten Volibear is gameplay wise. His visuals are lame, his game play is lame, and his voice lines are lame. Virtually while his lore is bad ass, nothing is even cool about Volibear. I don't think anything was ever cool about volibear and that was essentially because Volibear was nothing more than a stolen character from the golden compas. Fellow rioters were even against this champion even being made for the rip off was so obvious. Frankly it's time this character gets a full over haul rework to match his lore. plus since the fact the only signature skill is his Q, and his identity is a tough melle fighter who gets tanky on the brink of death, this leaves lots of room for riot to update his kit. Unlike other champions like Shaco, where if you changed even one ability it wouldn't feel the same anymore.
Malzy, where to begin with this mess of a champion...frankly I think it's time riot just gives up on his ultimate, this champion has been a balancing nightmare upon spawning, and was made even worse to balance upon his minor rework. I think the only way to fix the core issues a champion like Malzahar has is if you simply start from the ground up with him. For no matter what riot does, this champion will and always will be a problem until some major core issues about his kit are changed. After he's spent 2 years as the most recurring best mid laner in the game, it really does call a demand to it. Some champions are reworked for they are forgotten and have no love, aka galio , yorick, other champions need it for they were simply a mess.
Every thing, that is all. Always either to over powered, or to fucking useless. Their is no middle ground for this champion. Also WHICH ONE IS NU NU!?
Honorary Mention
The most annoying lane bully to be spawned in existence, to the point riot finally changed the rules of the game just so he couldn't walk in front of minion waves and spam q anymore, literally this champions lane phase was SO BUSTED, riot had to go and edit the rules of league of legends just so it wouldn't be so obnoxious. But honestly he's a champion who has a lot of missed opportunity. He is the INCARNATE of war itself that climbed the mountain to save his people, and while his ult is awsome and can stay, his q-e really doesn't reflect that. This could honestly be the most bad ass manly champion to exist on league and well...instead we get square street fighter feet, poorly drawn shield, and your typical spartan. So I hope riot visits him this year. Why do i want it to be this year, for he fits the malzahar scenario where for the past two years he has been a constant recurring issue.
They're in a really bad spot
(build, spells, and scaling don't synergize)
(too kiteable it's laughable) 
(giant unkillable tank that... hides from you all laning phase spamming cleavers and being untouchable until he can kill you 1v1 with braindead kit?) 
(either make her less dependent on cdr, or return her as a viable spellcaster by buffing ratios; better to make her solo laner - instead of 50/50 solo/support) 
(too low ranged with too long of cd spells for how little damage they do and the fact that she's not remotely tanky - just compare to ryze for example or cass) 
(mediocre if even, amazing vs squishies if ahead, useless vs tanky champs... ditch the w and make her a mid or make her a support [pls don't]; mana costs too high for a spam mage like ryze or cass; passive is counter-intuitive for a long-ranged poke mage - it's like making jhin have to run to half his aa range to launch a grenade or land a stun and achieve max damage) 
(useless/easily-countered high elo, hella broken low elo; ditch the w, add a different mechanic to address both problems) 
(e should be unstoppable; she's already risking far more than other champs when she engages and offers nothing aside from engage - unlike taric for example) 
(play off desire for more adc diversity; maybe turn q into a graves/jhin-esq auto attack with short cd and give her e ad damage and scaling; i know ap mf players will complain, but seriously) 
(you fixed cho's issues, morde has similar problems in a way, also just consider balancing him around solo lane at this point already; he's a failed bot experiment - move on) 
(just like jayce - op early due to melee/ranged combo damage; too squishy to use that mid/late and mostly useless because of it) 
(nidalee except with opposite problem; all tank, no damage mid/late or dies before reaching his objective) 
(if he falls behind, he's worthless even in laning; in teamfights, you are basically an ult that's negated by the other team's locket; buff his w, etc. and/or rework kit; why play rumble when you can play ornn and do basically the same in laning but become a monster tank?) 
(he's always up here, isn't he) 
(again, use this to differentiate adc's; maybe make him mana-less champ, but needs x number of aa's to cast a q or e; let him be the poke champ he was meant to be) 
(kit is ok, but damage vs durability is way off compared to other toplaners and mids; his abilities's hp costs used to MEAN something too)
heals for way to much in lane up to point where all poke is pointless and you cant farm since he has silence, slow, knock up and ranged autos to get you behind minions, 
braindead kit that counters skill, 
who is malphite... is that the ult i cant rly remember any other ability,
hes just so weird, it feels like he has 1 ability and a passive ( ult is just revive and e just slow/speed up, his w should really be something more creative ), for others i agree and im really glad you included champs like lissandra who have awesome lore and looks but just so outdated kits that they cant do anything vs new champs
as a end of season hype :D
