@Riot DISCUSSION ---- Before we go to the assassin rework, Can we talk about the Mage rework

We need to be really careful. I feel really bad really really bad. People mained swain,malzahar,vladimir before the mage rework and guess what? They couldnt play their champion because of the 80% bann rate on each champ.

I would very much hate it if my champ got reworked and boom, so broken that i cant play them because they're pick or ban in every game from bronze to the LCS.

I would advise Riot to be careful. Get some Challenger players to test out the new champions for a bit before you guys throw them at the live servers.

Besides that, I feel like the mage rework was a total failure.

The point of annie was to fix her lack of counterplay. Now listen, I'm NOT saying she doesnt have a weakness. Im saying that she DOES indeed have little counterplay involved once she hits 6.

I do not care for annie. I do not play annie and i do not want to play annie. But i do feel like the mage rework completely failed its objective for her. If you main annie or not, it is a fact that she has close to no counterplay at 6.

My fix? Is to just put a timer on how long she can hold her stun. Vlads counterplay on his Empowered is that he cant hold it. He needs to either use it within some seconds or he loses it.

I would say 15-20 seconds is a good timer for annie to hold her stun.

Now regarding vel koz, The only thing i can say is IF THE COMMUNITY SAYS DO NOT CHANGE A CHAMPION THEN LISTEN. I wrote that in caps because Riot is having this problem where they are just ignoring the beneficial statements of their Community. Yes we do say a lot of dumb stuff, Yes we are wrong most of the time. But most vel koz players said specifically do not touch him.

There was absolutely no reason to change him. And boom, he got some stuff reverted.

For the other champions, im not going to say much. For instance malzahar swain and vlad... I feel bad for their mains, you guys need to think of possible outcomes because that ROA + spirit visage build should have been obvious that it wouldve broke swain and vlad. I dont recommend changing a whole class of champions during mid season either. This is extremely unhealthy for the game.

I respect what we're trying to do and i think its fuckin amazing that Riot wants to change champions and make them better, All im saying is that there is some stuff we failed on and cant continue to the next rework as if nothing happened.

Thanks for your time. Hoping for a rioter reply.
