kit updates

i would like to compile a list of champions that need a kit update aimed for their viability and capability to balance them in current game (champs that are sheduled for rework are excluded )

1)Ashe - she is just ooutdated, her strenght went away with the changes in design of new champions (jumps counter slows etc)

2)Kasadin- you already stated that his ballancing is impossible, slight nerf pushes him into oblivion while slight buff makes him godlike, you want ult to stay then either change its properties or gut the rest of the kit to rewolwe around the ult

3)Yasuo- read kassadin , yasuo was created without thought about his place in the game, he had to be a meele adc but nobody though about ballancing him for any specific lane which lead to releasing an insanely overloaded kit (wind wall and shield vs harras, e to counter kiting ,double crit to make sure that he wont have to sacrifice to much slots to actualy deal dmg, his q to compensate for weaker crits, and armor shred for tanks, his kit was made to counter every possible enemy he could encounter because riot didnt know in which lane he will end)

5)twitch- his kit allows him for both being an assasin and the adc, soo you will either nerf him into oblivion (like its now) or he will be op (get a good laning phase and he still is)

6)Malzahar darius noct galio- just outdated (darius is not so old but he represents the old design values, he needs just a little ttweak)

7)LeeSin Elise Evelyn- those 3 are in one spot because they repsresent the early aggro junglers, all 3 represent the case of either gut or they will outshine everything, lee and elise got gutted while eve is kept in check by her toxicity (pink wards were made to counter active stealth like rengar and akali but not the passive stealth, so eve still finds use)

8)akali and fizz- they are suspectible to lane bullying but there is a couple of problems, im preety sure that i wont find anyone who can pull the lane bullying part below diamond, second is that despite them being weak without ults they can actualy live without them (akali's spellwamp makes it hard to poke her down, while fizz handles poke realy well, he dodges the long cs stuff and his passive makes him resistant to autos), if you pick a bad champion akali and fizz will go ham from lvl1 and they will win, the third thing is the get 6 and win playstyle, i get that their ults are supposed to be strong but in 90% of cases they will just go ham and win every trade as long ass they have ults

9)kha zix- his evolutions suck, as far as they just empower the skill they will never do the thing they were supposed to do, and as far as there is something to exploit in the flawed evolutions kha zix will see play (there was q exploid time, there was ult exploit time, and now there is w exploit time)

10)nidaele- the so called rework was a change from toxic poke champ to toxic splitpusher

11)tanks - tanks are a weird case of riot experimentation, tank is durable and has to take hits, but who would want to hit as guy that deals no damage, so riot gave free dmg (didnt work cause op so got nurfd) then riot gave taunts (didnt work cause was used as a stun, so tanks werent tanking) then riot gave loads of cc (didnt work cause you had 2 supports in team, both of them were ignored ) and at last riot gave the unique stuff that allows tanking (actualy its only braum and maokai, maokai is op atm but rito will nerf after worlds, ), and thats the bar other tanks need to be brought to in order to do their jobs (many ppl will disagree but there is no logical reason to hit a tank in this game, so they have to force your damage on them somehow and riot finaly found how )

You got the history of tanks completely wrong.

Also, please mind your spelling and punctuation.

im preety sure i messed the chronology but im pretty sure that i was correct on the stuff that riot did with tanks in search for viability

Also, please mind your spelling and punctuation.

For kit updates that make champs actually healthy for the game, I'd put Gangplank Mordekaiser Poppy Sion Tristana Yorick Zilean on my list.

I put Soraka too, but her rework is amazing already.

Taric & Warwick could use kit updates as well.

not nerf but change most of the ballance problems we face comes from the fact that champs are outdated meaning that they either overshadow or live in shadow of the newer ones

or them having some design flaws that make some gameplay issues

and the worse thing among all is when champions are too similar which cause one to outshine the rest because he has either some easier mechanics or couple points of additional dmg

either way nerfing does not help
