Reworks to balance older champs

Champs that are great can be fun to play but are not played Simply because other champs make them not viable. Many can not best be balanced with just numerical changes. I have two very good examples where proper changes should be looked at mechanics wise. 1 Akali wishes to kill an adc that adc is protected by a Janna with exhaust Akali has three stacks ready , Leap one Janna Tornadoes stopping it Outplayed Leap #2 She Monsoons with good timing Outplayed # 2 If by chance exhaust is up she times it on the third leap Outplayed #3 this is what it can take to stop her an ultimate a skill shot and a summoners. If she gets outplayed on one of her stacks she needs to lose them all or some other change

Example 2 Twisted fate's pick a card either needs to not show till the card is chosen or At minimum not show the color rotation to the other team.With so many 100 - 0 non skill shot champs out there that can kill a squishy in less time than it takes for the three card rotation to occur this is not balanced for them to see the colors and simply wait in a bush for the card they fear to just drop off rotation.

There are many others mechanics that are simply broken in this game and easy numerical adjustments are not always the best way to make for a better game.Especially when every new champ brings in new mechanics and breaks simple control mechanics Like mana to control over all long term function sustain.

Every time they change some nearly universal design rule be it movement recourse invulnerability detection and other traits abilities (mechanics) all champs need serious evaluating how these changes affect them.I would like to see some refinement not constant flavor of the month limited meta marry go round limited meta.

Positive suggestions may help from the community so lets hear some that may bring more champions into relevance.

As long as players are playing this game it's going to be a merry go round. Balance is just as subjective as objective to the majority of people.
