Again we are seeing Chamions be placed through a class update, only to not be viable in that role

Malzahar - used to be midlane mage - mage rework - become most viable support for over half the year Rengar - used to be an assasin - assasin rework - is now a toplane bruiser Maokai - use to be unstoppable tank monster frontline -** tank** rework - sits in bush with full ap

Im starting to see a trend that when people despise champions so much, riot tends to rework them to drive them away from their original style of play. As much as i appreciate rerworks to champions who need them, the smaller mid seasonal changes at times appear rushed, and can really upset player bases attatched to those champions, particularly with rengar. Not taking anything away from the people working on these champions i apprecaite your effort, however i feel like to create successful champions, you need full VGPU like Galio and Yorik, as oppose to minor changes like Rengar and Maokai

technically, fitting into support still doesnt make them less mages, or tanks.

theyre just mages or tanks in the support role.

Maokai honestly is more op as a tank, he just was overtuned. His healing is really nice tbh, people are too stupid to build greavous wounds, because they don't realize how big he heals

Certain champions aren't reworked because people despise them.

Malzahar was in need of an update, his old ultimate was literally a point and click suppression that did way more damage than his new one and was basically his kit.

Maokai was reworked because he was a "generalist", but honestly he didn't even need a rework he just needed a non point and click root.

the shaco rework made him better at support / jg bruiser than as an assassin

...

its sad really

00they nerfed him sooo hard in the wrong places and left the bruiser build his best build...

not to mention the buggs on him that they act are 'intended' design
