If there's any reworks you miss the original versions of, who would they be?

Mine are Talon Poppy Brand Malzahar Kindred especially, although (aside from Brand and, to a lesser extent, Malz) I acknowledge their previous versions had their issues.

Shen I miss bullying any top laner regardless of class(I can still do that so some extent, but it's just not the same) Syndra The rework was str8 garbage, change my mind. Soraka Old Starcall was one of my favourite abilities. Katarina Yes, the rework is good, that doesn't change my feelings of hatred for it.

People say old Malzahar had issues now because Riot said he had issues when they needed to reason to change him for the MYMU.

Prior to that he was a 52-54% WR, 3-4% PR champ that received only 1 nerf in 5-6 years due to deathfire touch and was barely complained about on the forums/boards because he was easy to beat if you had CC/Range/QSS/Teammates/Etc.

Riot threw a pile of wood on Malzahar with their weak excuses for the rework and the rework itself (Shield & Voidling change) ignited the fire that pretty much burned down old Malzahar's image as a new-player friendly champ with clear weaknesses and not oppressive in higher elos.

He actually used to be one of those well-liked niche champs

Now he is a "brain-dead-carry-for-trash-players-who-can't-climb-with-anything-else-cause-they-have-no-skill" champ in the eyes of the community.

Its been pretty shitty to watch as someone who mained Malzahar cause both his release day (June 1st 2010) and my start date in league (June 1st 2014) seemed like a pretty cool coincidence. My drive to play ranked also went down after the change as prior to it, rank was just a byproduct of me wanted to be the #1 Malzahar player (At least on lolskill... xD)

Mained him till patch 6.9... Will never forget... Best number, worst patch for me.

He gained a Shield Passive that made him hated for all time and an E reset that makes it so that he only deals damage if you ignore him.

What did he lose?

Tanky Voidlings that needed to be timed -> Spammable one shot throw-away Voidlings (Also made AD/Hybrid Malzahar possible and arguably allowed him to be one of the few champs if any that could legitimately play any role... Tanky Voidlings/CC even allowing ADC Malzahar... But now that is gone...)

Q lost 90 base damage, 15% AP ratio, and Vision granted on area cast got reduced to a sliver.

E lost 100 base damage

Null Zone went from (6% + 1% per 100 AP) to (2 + 0.25% per 100 AP)...

And Nether Grasp lost 275 base damage and 50% AP Ratio...

But thats okay cause there are still threads calling for more nerfs :)... Cries in the corner

Old Malzahar did not have any more issue than the current one. In fact, he had less.

Because outside of his voidling and passive, his kit hasn't been changed all that much, and the vast majority of his issue is centered around his passive spell shield and is the biggest troublemaker in all of Malz's career both pre and post rework, and the passive shield is something he did NOT have and was ADDED BY THE REWORK.

Akali Pre-season 5 and assasin changes. [When E did the Q proc] Syndra since MYMU she hasn't been in a balanced spot. I'll miss Ahri when they change her kit in the next patches and Chogath because I absolutely despise playing against the new chogath.

Also I'll miss Irelia , but I havent played her since her rework on the PBE so I can't really say for certain.

Old Yorick. Cancer, I'll admit, but I had a lot of fun with his old kit back in the day.

Depends on what you mean by reworks. Do complete VGUs count as well?

If so, I miss old Taric. Old Taric was severely underrated in top lane, and was great at keeping one target almost permanently out of a fight. He had guaranteed peel, and his old ultimate was pretty cool as it was one of the few abilities at the time that gave something akin to a Baron buff to everyone around you.
