That's nice and all, but do you guys ever plan on working on Yorick Warwick Aatrox ? At least ryze is playable right now.

if you are going to make a QQ post, can you at least pay attention? the yorick rework is scheduled to be directly after the ryze one. It will be a full kit, lore, VG update. It is huge.

Ryze is a constant issue in the game. He is impossible to balance in his current state and is a much more pressing matter than yorick.

Right after Ryze's. It is on the rework page.

Except Aatrox. No idea for him.

Ryze has pretty much always had an issue where his power-level is pretty black or white. A tiny nudge and he's way to tanky and damaging, spikes way to little to hard and overruns the meta. A little love-tap nerf and he's suddenly useless.

At least with WW and Aatrox Riot's been able to put them in an OK spot balance-wise. Aatrox even sees occasional pro-play every once in a while. He's not in a terrible spot balance-wise. Awkward spot with weird game-feels certainly, but far from the worst.

Yorick and WW are also slatted for reworks, so it's not like Riot forgot about them. It just takes a long time to troubleshoot a wide range of kits and come up with changes that result in a solid improvement while still staying true to the champion.
