The next focus of Riots reworks (my opinion)

PhantomGG··3 votes·230 views

So Riot is just about done with the goals they had for reworks, once evelyn is finished, boom it's done, they did it all boys. That being said, here is my list of what I feel they should focus on next.

1-Just about every Fighter Jax Shyvana XinZhao Yasuo Pantheon Kayle MasterYi

I can actually easily describe these champions all in one list. Now I know the chances of every fighter being reworked is highly unlikely. But here is a list in why I hope Fighters will be the next class update. Fighters have the problem where they can build both tank and damage, and because of this they will out dps just about anyone excluding other fighters. Now this in itself, isn't exactly a bad idea, I like the idea of a class that is designed to be the best one v one class in the game. A class that can one v one/one v two, but falls short when it comes to team fights. However the flaw is this. When the large majority of them completely lack counter play in a one v one, one v two setting, to the point they can take that lead and shub it onto team fights. They become unkillable monsters who are tanky, with lots and lots of damage.

The class needs a update frankly to increase the opportunity of counter play they have, while also shifting their damage towards tank stats. The original intention for fighters was 50 percent carry, and 50 percent tank, but right now it feels more shifted towards 70 percent carry and 30 percent tank. Just some thoughts, don't wanna make it to long.

2-Akali In the assassin update itself, riot said the main reason she wasn't put into the big four was because akali had so many design problems that they could only be fixed with a all out rework. Akali suffers from a problem most other assassins don't. She snow balls harder than every assassin in the game, to be franky, she snow balls to hard. But why is that? Frankly I believe it's because of her passive. Her passive and her ad/ap scalings allow her to build a extremely powerful item. Hex tech gun blade, once she has this item she can build whatever she wants, full ap, full tank, bruiser. She can do it, and she will snow ball once given a lead. Through her passive she will feel unkillable when fused with gun blade, and because of her ult, she is near impossible to escape from. To put it frank she's an assassin that doesn't fall off late game unlike the many others that do. She's very feast or famine though, her strength is in the fact she synergizes SO GOOD with so many items, which is why she scales very strong. However this is also her weakness, for once shes behind she is bloody useless. No items = no akali. In future reworks riot needs to make her not so hard core item reliant, while also chosing a solid theme that they want her to be, because at the current moment she can be any theme she wants, and be good at it.

Mordekaiser - So i think it's about time riot admits they horribly fucked up with mord during the Jugger update. This champion has a million one glitches that riot refuses to even poke with a stick. He feels impossible to balance for his toolkit is so bloody obnoxious, and to be frankly he is honestly just not that fun to play from how little depth his toolkit offers. I would say even Garen and Darius have more deepness than he does. This is a champion theme that has potential, he is probably the most important character to the shadow isles lore, so I really hope they look into him this year so they can do him justice. I won't even bother saying what he should be or should not be, one thing is obvious that we can all agree on, this guy desperately needs some looking at.

Aatrox - Do i even need to discuss this. Sweet and simple I will make this one. His Q stuns himself, he is beyond easy to kite, his new passive feels misserable and is only good for cheesy level one plays. His ult is nothing more but a attack steroid, and his E is just, why? P-R this champ is a hot mess.

Fiddlesticks - this one might surprise people the most, but the reason I feel this has to be done, is for the way fiddle sticks toolkit works, and many people who main fiddle jg can agree wtih me on this. Is that he has a toolkit that HATES change. Riot doing a simple act of removing red/blue buff minions hurt him pretty bad, it was a very simple action, yet it harmed him. Fiddle is a champion who dislikes change, he hates it w hen you change how jungle camps work, he hates it when you change how items work. Honestly I don't think a major rework is needed, I say he simply needs to be adjusted so small game changes no longer fuck him over.

So typically riot only has enough time for 4 reworks and 1 class update in a seasons time frame, and this is what I feel should be focused on and looked at.

Upvote for sure. But I don't agree that they shouldn't be able to 1v1 that's their identity

oh no i'm saying that the way the most of them do it just lacks counter play. Yi and Xin just auto u to death and ur only option is to cc them and run.
