Reworks: Who Needs Them, Who Should Never Have Them?

SSmotzer··0 votes·274 views

I was under the impression that LoL is an ever evolving game, where absolutely no champion is beyond a rework, and I believe that with time, every champion should be reworked, in some way. However, there are plenty of players who bitch and moan whenever Riot says they are going to touch any champion..... except Urgot, we can all agree on Urgot.

So my question is, in your opinion, which champion is perfect and should never ever be reworked?

I bring this up because I was playing Leona and realized that I never cast my E without following up with a Q, and I suggested she should be reworked so they were a single ability, giving her more gameplay options to play with and I kept getting asked, "why rework Leona?"

Leona needs a rework because she has a combo?

It's not that. It's that it's her only combo. Cast W, land E, use Q, either R at the beginning or the end of the combo.

I'm saying that she could use some variety. She needs something to change it up, make her more than just the point and click stun queen.

If all she is to you is a point and click stun queen you haven't played her long enough. The positioning game for setting up a dive for team fights is crucial to playing her. If you want another yasuo or ekko with overloaded kits that you can just outplay anyone simply because you have low cooldowns and abilities at hand all the time....play them instead....

So... if I can see how Leona is beginning to age, I should just play new champions who actually have more than a single combo?

ikr. so newb right there. Leona is one of the few champs that never needs a rework as long as they keep item 3302 decent.

Xerath just feels like the same repetitive motions over and over again, and he's pretty damn free because of his absurd range. So yeah, I wouldn't mind a rework.

His W is really lazy. I think he could expand upon his study passive to give more than just true damage on his ult, and I think it would be cool if he could angle his ult off of terrain to give it more distance, really adding to the geometry thing he has going for his Q.

You honestly don't think Pantheon needs a rework?

No I don't. I think his kit is pretty much spot on. Buffs or nerfs to it...maybe...but the kit is awesome. I've always had fun playing him.

He's a ball of stats champion that has little interactive counterplay and isn't allowed to scale at all because of it.

I used to main him in season five. If anyone needs a rework, he should be on the list.

The only thing i could see giving Leona some boost in kit is making here W an activate and activatable detonate ability kind of like Nunu's ult/Sion's W detonate.

Well, I imagine that her E and Q could be combined, since they are almost always cast together anyway.

Yes, giving her defense boosting W a trigger would be more interactive.

And I was thinking about moving the auto attack range boost and bonus auto attack damage off of her R and make it like a series of range boosted attack skill shots. That kinda work like Taric's heal, so the longer she charges up her slashes, the stronger and longer they get.

Except your concept didn't involve an actual combination of her E and Q - you just removed Q altogether, moved E over to it, and replaced E's Root with a slow and a vision reduction. I hate to dredge up prior posts, but in this case, it's relevant and kinda necessary.

Get back to our conversation. This doesn't involve you.
