Discussion On Figher Update Candidate
So I know a lot of people are excited about the upcoming assassin rework, which from my personal guess will be sometime after Yorick's update (obviously) and maybe near or after the end of worlds. And I'm pretty interested in how Rengar, LeBlanc and other assassins will be reworked but I don't really want to think about that for now. For a moment I want to think and discuss about the possible fighter rework that Riot may work on after the assassin rework, specifically the candidates.
So far I'm seeing a lot of potential candidates for the list.
are a few that come to my mind and who I want to explain why they should be on the list and my reasoning.
- I don't know where to start with this guy. Way back when jungle still had devourer and trail blazer I basically had this guy as my go to guy just to have fun in the jungle. I even took him top and though he wasn't the greatest he was still fun. But now I'm at a lost of what has become of him. I actually think he's now taken the place of pre-rework Yorick in the "group of never to be seen again for a long time" champion pool, right down their with these two
(and possibly him
.) To go over, his Q is very telegraphed and somewhat hard to land for the knockup and his E is just very odd the way it is. The rest of his kit is just meh in some parts. W is one of the best heal/damage abilities I know in the game, his passive is decent but somewhat annoying to play against and his ult is ok but not that much of an impact. Overall I feel he would need to be one of the big ones in the update, like how Rengar and Talon are in the assassin rework.
- I don't like her. A lot of other people don't like her. To put it for those who don't know or have forgotten she literally has everything. Tenacity, a slow/stun, a lifesteal that can turn into true damage, an insane gap closer, and an ult that is a skillshot that heals her while also dealing damage. Just........ what the actual fuck where they thinking? When I first started League I never really understood why she had her nerf meme. Now after 3 some years of playing against and as her I can see why. IMO it's finally time she just get reworked. She's just a constant pain to deal with and just having a champion with this much in her kit I feel is just too much now.
- Like Aatrox, I don't know where to begin. I just feel like he's not at the fullest potential right now. First: I constantly feel like I'm playing a 5 v 4 + constant split pusher. All I ever see him do is fucking split push top or some other lane when a team fight begins. And always I feel like I am forced to run to that lane and stop him. It's just annoying. Second: his kit I just don't think is that great. He only has one actual damage ability, his W is very unreliable most of the time, you ever really know his Q for the small heal and never really the bonus damage it gives, and he has a built in 35% crit chance at lvl 1. But the most annoying thing about him, of course, has to be the ult. Just not dying for how ever long it is now I just feel like is bullshit. As well it doesn't really interact with the rest of his kit other then give fury for more crit chance but that's it. Even then I feel like their are other champions that can do this but somewhat more healthy and can help the team more. Kindred: keeps everyone alive above mortal health so long as they stay in circle. Kayle: Can block damage for an extremely short period of time to her or any allied teammate. Taric: One up's Kayle with the same thing but can effect the whole team after a delay. Zilean: better guardian angel for a short time. I really can't make any suggestions on how to fix him because I really don't know how he should be reworked. I just hope that he'll be somewhat healthier to play against and not have to deal with the constant never ending split pushing (seriously that's just so cancerous to deal with)
- Overall I feel like he needs a few touch ups. His passive is ok, his E ok, and his Q is fairly good but overall it's also very hard to try and master it. It's his only way of wave clearing which isn't the worst thing but trying to master landing it constantly on champions to then pick it right back up and continue doing massive amounts of damage while also an infinite slow is pretty hard to master. As for the ult it's one of the most insane ults I've seen so far. Just you break free of any CC and become immune to it for 6 seconds is insane. Olaf is in a decent position right now, so he's by no means bad, but I feel like he could use some touch ups on his kit overall.
- Essentially Shyvana is my number one champion that I love to play as. But as of recently I just haven't felt that way about her. Put it bluntly, almost any other jungler can do her job better then her. She has no CC pre 6 and when she does the damn think is so clunky that I don't ever feel like I actually drag the enemies, let alone hit them. On top of that, her ult can easily be interrupted by the most basic displacement. GO FLYING IN AS A DRAGON INTO THE ENEMY TE- Alistar headbutt, Malz ult, Draven E, etc. Her passive is possibly the worst out of all the passives in the game. Small bonus armor and mr. Yea. She just overall needs some love, she's one of the few champions with
and
who don't have any CC but the thing is she's a secondary tank. Most champions who are secondary tank have some better form of CC like Darius or Kled. The reason why most of the other champions I just listed don't need CC is because they're either assassins or ADCs who kill people due to their insane damage output (except
again because stated above). Shyvana needs to have some form of early CC to her and not limited to a clunky knock back on her ult. Speaking of, I feel like she needs something more when in dragon form rather then just slightly empowered abilities and double passive bonus, like give her some bonus health like Gnar when he transforms or tenacity. Or better yet make her ult fucking unstoppable already! I mean for crying out loud you're turning into a god damn dragon, you shouldn't be knocked aside by some cow! I don't really mind if you have to nerf the range or damage on it just do it already! As well, try finding a way so she can come back to top lane. I heard in the past she was really good and I'd loved to see that happen again. I really love this champion, she's just a decent pick. But when compared to everyone else she just seems to fall flat and that makes me super depressed. I personally think they should turn her more into a juggernaut, they've talked about it in the past and it really fits the bill on her.
Those are basically my thoughts on some champions that I feel need to be reworked fairly soon. What do you guys think about this? If you have any other suggestions I'd like to hear them as well as to why you put them up for candidates.
