Reworks. How you can love and hate them.
Evelynn - rework was amazing, and as someone who played pre-rework evelynn a ton I can say that I loved it. Yeah you could be seen in stealth at close range, so lesss cheese, but everything else in her kit made up for it, she dealt plenty of damage, had counterplay (against organized teams, she messed up soloqueue much as shaco can). Eve was a rework I was happy about. The constant nerfs make it so I don't play her much anymore, but I did, agian, enjoy the initial rework (hate spikes pre rework hit 2 targets, 1 for 100% and another for 50% and did little damage if I recall).
Heimerdinger - I didn't, nor do I main heimerdinger, but a friend of mine was very happy with the changes, his only irritation was the lack of slow, but pressing R and getting a ton of rockets, a giant turret, or the underrated bouncing stun, the lack of slow on towers was easily made up.
Sivir - Again I played Sivir a lot pre-rework (typically in a svir/raka bully lane) but alone I loved playing her too. Even more so after the rework as W and E were greatly improved. Initially the Q was better too but they have balanced it out since (which is fine). I still enjoy playing sivir, even after some nerfs to her damage. (The E buff was a godsend - no mana cost).
Sejuanni - Again not a champion I mained, but another friend of mine said she was amazing (and she was) post rework before they nerfed her numbers and CC not long after.
Gragas - Mixed feels on this. Gragas needed the change ultimately, and while we will all miss 1 shotting people, I understood that his playstyle and kit didn't match his lore and was unhealthy (You can't be an assassin, tank, mobile AoE Zoning Mage).
Master Yi - Many people hated the lack of AP scaling loss on Q. AP yi players hated the change, however the few amount of AD yi players loved it quite unanimously from my understanding. (His lore/kit scream AD as well).
Karma - ...
Kassadin - Well, we new it was coming, and those who could relished in the joy of his lack of counterplay did, those who couldn't banned him. The change was needed and we all knew it, but nobody really wanted to admit to wanted to give up 1v5 crazy mobility assassinations.
LeBlanc - The initial kit rework (changing mainly the ult) was loved, the removal of silence made life a bit sad for her though and currently her kit is once again lacking.
Nidalee - I like and disliked this rework. AP nid spears and sustain was a problem, she could kill people easily with very little built and with little counterplay. I like the implementation of her cougar and human form, at least the idea, but the AD scaling on Q (an execcution amplified by landing human form spells) made her a split push champ with little counterplay. She's still frustrating to play against, and when I play her I hate going AD for the sake of one spells scaling.
Sona - Not really a buff or nerf IMO, kinda of a side-slide of power. It hurt her sustained power but gave her instant power. Her solo lane potential was killed, but she can still make some pretty clutch saves with her W. I think her problem isn't her kit, she's just outclassed by much stronger and slightly unhealthy champs such as Nami, who brings Sona's Q and W in the form of her W, a reliable low CD stun, and a more reliable and larger AoE Stun/Slow ult.
Rengar - Not a rengar player, don't really know any rengar players.
Taric - People LOVED the taric rework, but he got nerfed directly after and became unviable to play against, again, the stronger supports of today (Thresh, Braum, Ali).
Viktor - As far as I can tell most Viktor players are excited for what has been spoiled (as an occasional player of him I am) since he gets all his augments, his W could be a little more reliable, and his item will give a ton of AP and be a good item to have in slot from what I understand.
