I feel that Reworks are pretty sad, especially for people that main those champions
There was a Sion Main that played tons of the old sion games, he was pretty entertaining on Twitch but now he is gone after trying to adapt to the new Sion, same goes to the Korean Poppy main, now it's Shaco times, Shaclone looks pretty sad playing the PBE Shaco and he knows that he can't do anything about it, I think the same thing will happen to Faker, when he is going to try the New Leblanc. The big reason is because the reworks doesn't do what the old champions do. Old Sion is Like a Olaf on steroids, that would go full crit lifesteal and have a shit tons of health. Poppy was played like a Diver Assassin, Trinity force crit + phantom dancer,
Alot of people especially MAINS, don't like the reworks, it's like hitting someone right in their chest. I know that Riot does some feedback and talk with the community but the problem is, the voice of the people that don't actually play those champions have a bigger impact on Riot than Mains. If I were to ask riot to sit down and talk with the community, I would bring out XXX champions Mains and talk together, instead of bringing anyone else such as Haters(people who dislike the design or those champions) and people who just started playing leagues and want to change it.
You might lose the minority of the people, but let me tell you this riot, those MAINS were entertaining and always brought new lifes to the Games, when I play Shaco AP top people would say in all chat " stop copying Pinkwards" or when I would play Leblanc and stomp the enemies team people would say "Is that faker?"
I enjoy the current Leblanc, I love playing her, I play her to stomp my lane and dominate the game, IDC if I lose the game or she has a low winrate, I enjoy playing her for that reason. But I know its not gonna last forever, I enjoy the PBE Leblanc in a way but why would I play her if Ahri does the same thing as the Old Leblanc?
You guys reverted Kog Maw Rework because there was a Reason, if during the following month there is a Reason to Revert Leblanc Rework, will you guys do it? Make sure to Save that current Leblanc AP ratio, Base Damage in a folder then put it back on lives server if she either do something that the rework was not suppose to aim such as " Tank Leblanc".
But there are reworks that are acceptable by Mains and the community, Heimerdinger, Talon, why these 2? Because they do the same thing as the old ones but more, they added more damages, more options, same old roles. For me a successful rework, is adding stuff to the old kit that synergize together and revive the champion. Revitalize their kit, sort of a Rebirth. I'm a Heimerdinger Main too, the only thing I missed about the old heimerdinger is probably his W homing missiles, but I still love the new W becauses, He throws more rockets, he has an upgraded R,W his W can split making it undodgeable and it does more damage.
I'm not just talking about Leblanc, I'm talking about all the upcoming reworks.
- undead juggernaut
- stubborn yordle with important mission
- bringing justice to villains
- combo mage
- pentakill machine
- Cristal Scar (how can this even be a theme?)
- poison fuelled machine gun (Wat?)
- not even sure if they picked any theme for this rework
lacks this main theme in his rework and he feels quite off.
But Deciver theme works really good for
- in fact this is what she was supposed to be but Riot lacked tools to make it work so they pumped tones of burst to make her viable.
