Stop "reworking" champions!

Seriously stop reworking champions. At this rate it seems like the goal is to redo every single champion! There is no point, none to the majority. I purchase and enjoy playing whatever champion I bought initially, I do not nor ever have desired any of them to be reworked. I used to love Shen, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. But then you had to turn him into something else, which I now DO NOT ENJOY AT ALL. Actually, I have hated every single rework, every one. I used to like Evelynn as well, not anymore. I am 100% against iframes.

Anyone else sick and tired of these crappy reworks? If they want a new champion they should just make one, not change a current one.

No, as much as I loved old Urgot, he was boring to play a lot an cancer to play against. The strategy was e q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q...q. and old yorick was basically the same. They made the champions more interactive and healthier.

So you want 2 champions with the exact same dash-taunt & a global ally-shield ult.

The kits of some champions are just outdated. And to make them work in the current game they just need a rework. I think riot does a good job at keeping the main characteristiks of the champion through the rework. Irelia can still play arround her q resets, eve can still run arround in stealth. So I don't think the reworks are that bad.

They are only reworking dated/boring kits, chill.

The evelynn you liked was actually some reworked evelynn

So there it is .. a contradiction

Champions are reworked for any of the following reasons:

  • Their kits are unhealthy for the game, no matter how weak it is
  • Their kits are out dated design and do not belong in the modern game
  • Their kits are balance nightmares, like with Aatrox.

There are more, but these are off the top of my head.

Have you seen Nunu's character model? ...

... Wait, you mainly mean gameplay wise? Maybe they should try to do just a visual rework? Some chamption kits are fine but their visuals are poor/dated but they said they didn't want to do that kind of thing.

I have to say, i dont mind the reworks, as long as they keep the champion playstyle about the same, the only rework i disliked was the Urgot, he had a very unique playstyle which i absolutely loved playing. The new urgot is nice to play and all but it has absolutely nothing in common with the old one, they might aswell renamed him to something else.

I agree, reworks kills champions, they destroy their starting identity. If some kits are outdated, they just need a little review (more damage, cc during longer etc...) and for the visual just replace the old visual with a new one (not just replace everything like a rework, just make it prettier). Replace the voice of a champ kills him, Replace all the appearance of a champion kills him... That's all i have to say, that and... REVERSE AATROX!
