Champions that need Reworks and/or updates.

Now, we all know there are toxic champions in League, and champions that are outdated or useless. I thought I'd go through all champions that I believe need a rework and why, feel free to disagree.

As we know, Ryze just came out, and I'm pretty sure Yorick and Warwick are being worked on currently so I won't mention them.

Akali: Let's start here, shall we? We all know Akali's kit needs a rework, it's outdated and stealth "just doesn't work in the game". She either hard carries a game, or does nothing at all which does not fit her role as an assassin.

Cho'Gath: I can't put this one into words, but he just feels outdated to me for the current state of the game.

Dr. Mundo: Old, basic kit, which is also either hard carry or do nothing at all, which I suppose is alright for a tank. I just feel he could use some love and maybe something new or changed.

Evelynn: "Stealht has no place in the game". Her kit is very outdated and clunky for a supposed "assassin".

Garen: Needs mana or energy . Simple as that add a mana bar or an energy bar

Heimerdinger: This one is tough. Heimer is a very unique champion. But for some reason he has auto attacks twice, once on his bots and once on him. I, personally, can't think of a rework for him but he needs one as much as Zyra did. He either destroys lane and carries games, or feeds in lane and ruins the game.

Illaoi: I personally don't think Illaoi's kit matches her lore. I think her ult should revolve around the tearing out of the soul. It being in her basic abilites just insults her lore in my opinion, and her whole kit just seems backwards. Illaoi's tentacles are too weak in lane, and too strong in the jungle and tight spaces, and yet she was made for the toplane...? I'd love to see her ult changed to regard her soul stealing thingo in some way. This is just a personal opinion however, and I doubt many people agree.

Katarina: Either hard carries games or does nothing, again not a good assassin.

Kayle: Aids. Seriously, though. She has about as much aa range as Caitlyn, what's with that riot? He rult is fine, it's everything else that needs updating.

Kha: "Stealth doesn't work in the game". Just needs a bit of love, maybe a new ability to replace a bad one?

Nasus: Kit is weak in general, too much point and click. Sure he's fine for newbies but is he ever played outside of level 10? Really?

Master Yi (Tweaks): Something new to make him less ridiculous to play aganst. He either hard carries or does absolutely nothing in a game because of how easy he is to counter.

Morde (Tweaks): Just... a silly champion. I have no idea what to do with him because he's either completely overpowered or completely useless.

Pantheon: A Bit outdated for the current staate of the game, mostly just needs a new kit. Ult is fine as are his q and passive (Yes, I know, groan all you want but what's the point of a shield that doesn't block). However, on that note, maybe instead of a passive that blocks randomly, maybe he could use a defensive ability regarding his shield? I don't know. He just needs a slight update in my humble opinion.

Rammus: Again a bit outdated. Kit is generally fine but his abilities could be better. Same concept for the character and same core ideas, maybe just something new rather than a point and click taunt and a shield. Very basic but nothing overall wrong with that.

Rengar: "Stealth doesn't work in the game". Rengar is either very strong or not strong at all, his kit is old, and he needs a bit of love.

Shaco: "Stealth doesn't work in the game". Shaco needs some love and some tweaks to one of his abilities (His e). His e should revolve around his boxes more, and his stealth is just unfair to play against.

Sion: He's generally alright, his kit is just lazy.

Singed: Old and outdated. Never played.

Talon: see Katarina.

Teemo: "Stealth doesn't work in the..." Plus, it's teemo.

Trynd: Alright, but he's not unique in any way. Either ridiculously strong, or completely useless for teams. I suppose that's good but he could use a new w or passive or something.

Urgot: I think we all know this one.

I'm only a smol OCE player slowly climbing but I love this game and Riot does a bloody good job with everything they do. Sometimes they get it a bit wrong but they're human. Give them a break. I think if half of these champions could be reworked by the end of next year "Are you joking? It's Rito" It would be a massive boost to the game. On top of that, I think these are un0fun champions to play or play against mostly. Feel free to disagree but I think I've got it right for most of them. Anyway with that I'll wrap it up. I for one am a huge fan of the new ryze, and I can't wait for what comes next.

Why do you think stealth doesn't work? It so op. Just go stealth and can't be targeted. It's actually more overpowered than "doesn't work"

I'm gonna argue the "stealth doesn't work" I think for some characters its very balanced and does work. Like akali, evelynn, kha'zix, and vayne. The only stealth champs that aren't balanced are twitch, shaco, talon and possibly rengar, becuase for the first three have stealth that last too long with no warning system of when they're near and I don't think rengar is too bad but the rest of his kit makes him do a lot of damage after he ults.

Garen: Needs mana or energy. Simple as that add a mana bar or an energy bar.

Hello Garen with 500 base mana. What´s next, you´ll want his passive to cost 50 mana per 1 health restored? Garen's fine in solo Q. Hardly an issue. And he's not even a thing in competitive. If he should get mana, then so should every single resourceless champion. People who complain about him need to, for the lack of a better term, git gud.

Kayle: Aids. Seriously, though. She has about as much aa range as Caitlyn, what's with that riot? He rult is fine, it's everything else that needs updating.

525 range with E on, compared to Caitlyn's 650 range. That´s 125 units of range difference. I believe the lowest ranged Marksman is Graves at 450. That means she needs to get considerably close. I see people time and time again complain about her constant uptime on E late game.

Meanwhile, i don´t see any complaints about 45% CDR Riven running around with an AD scalling shield on 4s worth of a CD.

If Kayle ever does get a rework/update, it´ll be a small one. Like MF's or Caitlyn's.

Sion: He's generally alright, his kit is just lazy.

He already received a rework. And he's fine. It´s just that they never reverted the nerfs to him after the Juggernaut enchantment meta ended and left him and Sejuani in the dirt. Y'know Riot really screwed up his top lane and jungle viablity when he turned out as the support with the highest winrate in 6.12.

He's a health stacking tank. And that´s something very difficult to do when his shield gets popped by literally any rank 1 ability in the game.

Nasus: Kit is weak in general, too much point and click. Sure he's fine for newbies but is he ever played outside of level 10? Really?

Weak in the early game, a monster in the late game. Don´t let him reach that point and you´ll be fine. His winrate is low, and his play rate is also low. If anything, he needs a minor buff.
