Nostalgia on 3 reworks. Rantlike
What makes a good rework in a champion is to give them a healthier kit with a sense of familiarity of the old champion.
When I talk about familiarity, I mean to talk about their play-style.
Champions that I am glad that you reworked correctly are Kayle Nunu Ezreal Ryze
Champions that I am pissed off that you reworked into (These champions that you have reworked aren’t necessarily terrible, but they have no characteristics of their past selves. These are basically deleting champions and giving them a new brand kit)
I’ll give some examples
Old Urgot ADC who is based off using E to use honing missiles on enemy champions, and to destroy enemy position with his ult. New urgot Top lane bruiser who fights in close combat to proc off his passive and to maximize his damage. Extremely different.
Old Aatrox AS fighter who relied on lifesteal and cc to demolish his enemies New Aatrox Riven turned into a tank but is dramatically slower
Old Poppy A champion that was very flexible in damage and tank. Could turn into a never dying champ or into a one shot assassin New poppy A ****ing tank
These reworks shouldn’t be remaking a new champion entirely. I was in love with these three old champions in which they turned into something nothing that once drew me into playing them.
Kudos with nunu rework tho. I love that you kept his ult and q, and gave him a big ass snowball.
needed a rework, and she got one that has really fallen flat. They made a cool concept, and then they killed it because the community hated it.
was meant to be a shorter ranged ADC that can grapple with opponents with his Shield and swapping Ult. Current Urgot fits the feel of the design of Urgot.
was just trash and impossible to make balanced because of the very nature of his kit. New Aatrox has a very different feel but he can actually play League without being extremely underpowered or degenerate. (And his new flavor is way better anyways)
was outrageously degenerate. I played her...and it was literally cheating. You press R on the support, kill the ADC without being able to take damage, during this time you build your W resistance stacks so when you actually tanky when you join the fight. New Poppy fits her lore better anyways.
. She is now a different SPECIES!Was human, now is a demon. Like seriously, how is that a rework when you change not only a champion's entire kit but ALSO her species. Also, talk about making the game less family friendly, I used to play her a bit now I feel like I'm watching some inappropriate material just hearing what she says.
