At what point will 'X' Champion become a priority?

darkdill··2 votes·625 views

Champions like Gangplank, Kennen, Singed, etc., likely aren't going to see reworks or improvements for a while, and I'm doubtful if they will ever get reworked due to others butting in front of them in the priority line.

Thus begs the question: When will such Champions EVER become a priority? Only if they become FotM? Or will they be quietly removed from League at some point due to toxicity?

...Graves?

He was the second best ADC for the month or so before allstars.

Am I not allowed to generalize?

...fine, Graves removed from the list.

You are, but including a champion that was a priority pick less than half a year ago makes it kinda unclear what sort of champions you're talking about.

What I mean are Champions who are pretty much never used in tournaments, and whom Riot won't say a word about. Singed is one example. When has a Singed been used in pro circuit in the past year to any success?

Singed isn't a fun champion, he's a ruin other people's fun champion, that floats some people's boat.

Not Riot's. If Singed were designed today, he'd be shot down in a heartbeat.

That begs another question:

Should you really expect every champion to get periodic re-works?

There's plenty of games that remain very fun with high replay value that just designed all their content at release and then didn't look back. Also - Riot took multiple years to get around to the Hiemerdinger rework.

You may as well assume no champion is getting a rework and just learn to deal with the existing content.

Yes, we should, if those Champions become completely unviable or have some useless mechanic. Gangplank's Raise Morale comes to mind. Too boring, invisible power, no gameplay.

Kennen's ultimate? Too random.
