Thoughts on the Juggernaut Update

Garen: No one asked for his rework, he was perfectly fine. But now, he can insta-kill the enemy toplaner once he TPs back after getting killed (unless another lane gets a kill in between these two events). Seriously? True damage? If what you wanted was the AD carry getting shit on every teamfight, then you've accomplished it. I cannot think of a reliable way to stop this monster from flanking using Q and popping out of nowhere and one-shotting the carry. The main problem here is that a tank like Garen should not do this much burst-damage.

Darius: Unlike Garen, Darius isn't a hardcore tank, he's basically Fiora with less damage and more health. But in reality, this rework is good for who plays Darius, not his lane opponent. In all seriousness, he is toplane top pick for a reason. In that sense, he should be left untouched. Anything but buffed.

Skarner: This probably is one of the worst reworks I've seen in my opinion. It's basically another game-mode in itself. Not only can heavy counter-junglers like Shaco lock you out of your own buffs, but he can get gold for doing so. But what does this mean? It well separate the LoL community into Skarner-enthusiasts and the exact opposite. There will be people who want to play with/against a Skarner for the gold advantages and extra objectives and there will be people who will not want to because they don't want to risk the consequences.

Mordekaiser: Nothing much to say here. Looks and seems cool, but the capabilities are little to none.

Mordekaiser is... Close. Give him some CC somewhere and stop the duo-lane bullshit.

Mordekaiser: item 3116 item 3742 Titan's Hydra... Profit there goes his CC. Bush Morde with 100 Deadman Stacks New Meta. But yes stop the duo lane nonsense.

They nerfed Garen's tankiness. His W is close to useless now. They are transitioning Garen from a useless silencing tank into a good damage dealing Fighter with a silence. "Juggernaut"
