How the Rework Priority SHOULD Be

Brutalitops01··1 votes·402 views

Now, most people complain about Swain and Irelia getting their reworks before Aatrox and how badly he needs them and how he's such a bad champion. I'm not a boosted monkey and know that you guys ARE currently working on him https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202294884-Champion-Update-Schedule

I'm talking after the next 3 champions that are reworked, who should come next?

The team that's on Swain right now should, in my opinion, pick up Nunu when they're done. Nunu is kinda like Aatrox in that he doesn't fit much of anywhere and is an exceedingly weak champion with very little you can do to give him more power without breaking him. A good Nunu doesn't let his opponent play League of Legends.

Nunu Rework: The Counterjungler Nunu's current niche is being a jungler with some alright clear sustain and a pretty nasty counterjungle. Amp this up to the max. When I pick Nunu after the rework, I want to be able to be 100% CERTAIN that my opponent doesn't get to farm, ever. Make his ganking and fighting the enemy jungler nearly worthless, but turn him into a counterjungling god who can wipe the enemy jungle in a matter of seconds, outrun his opponent if he gets caught, and transitions into being a massive tank for late game.

The team that's working on Irelia currently should pick up Akali afterwards. When I think Akali, I think probably the most traditional Ninja in League. She even has something reminiscent of a real ninja weapon, being her Kamas incredibly similar to a kusarigama, or a sickle and chain combo with a heavy metal weight attached to the end of the chain. Turn her into a true historical ninja, as they were in real life.

Akali: The Ninja Akali should remain a hybrid assassin, but give her more ways to approach a fight. A bit less burst for a bit more utility could be really good, and be sure to include a kusarigama technique or 2 in there. Perhaps even bushin no jutsu (shadow clones) for her ultimate! Historical ninja had far more tools at their disposal than would be even remotely possible to fit on one champion, even with a form swap, so take a look through their toolkits and decide which items would be best for an assassin to have.

The team that's working on Aatrox currently should pick up Volibear when they're done with him. The release of Ornn brought us some new lore for Volibear: rather than being the leader of a tribe of lightning bears, he's a literal god and brother to Ornn. Keep him as a juggernaut, but give him more ways to get into fights and more tankiness when he's there. And deliver much better on the LIGHTNING BEAR STORM GOD fantasy he's got in the lore.

That would make Nunu 100% broken. If he had OP early game and a strong late game, he'd never be weak. I'd rather he be converted to a support jungler like the old days. The reason Nunu became a "counter jungling god" is because he could speed himself up, slow enemies down, and his Q was a lv 18 smite at rank 5, and he couldn't do much else.

Real life ninjas were basically just thugs who used "magic" such as blinding enemies with a "smoke bomb" that had tiny shards of glass that would embed in your eyes upon being thrown at your face. Akali needs a real skillshot, preferably her Q.

Voli does need more lightning and he needs to become a juggernaut. I hope they turn his lightning into some 3-hit skill (next proc is shyv but weaker?).

Also I think it's just one team on all the champs but different people lead the team based on champ. Like, (pretend these people are on the team) it's the same 10 people in a room but when talking about Swain Phreak leads them and makes the final calls, and when he leaves Meddler walks in and they talk about the Irelia rework, etc.

Riot actually said that they had 2 Visual and Gameplay Update teams and 1 Class Update team. Class updates aren't going on anymore, so they've been converted to a third champion update team.

And don't get me wrong, his early game wouldn't be strong by any means; a good Nunu would be able to counterjungle the enemy jungler and ruin their item builds, leaving them with basically no cs, but that would be about all that he could do in the early game. His ganking would be gutted, and all that he'd be able to do really is farm the enemy jungle to get to his late game tank status sooner.
