Stop reworking champions and just make item counters..

Seriously, i'm sick of it.

The ryze rework is fun no doubt, but it's not ryze to me, the shen rework is fun, but he doesn't feel like shen anymore.... and the sion rework was an amazing new champ that all old sion mains don't like

Make a new freaking champion instead of completely gutting out old ones.

if something is underplayed because of theme, leave it, there are lots of fans and if the winrate is fine the champ don't need changing.

if something is underplayed because it is too weak, buff it

if something was made intentionally weak because it was too strong, and thus is underplayed, give it the old power back and make itemization counters.

Example A.) Vlad and Aatrox are daemons, BUT there is an AD item that counters them pretty decently, and the AP variant could use the flat buff in all honesty., to me vlad was not strong enough to demand a nerf, i'd just build Executioners and a maw then call it a day.

Example B.) The sion rework was a masterpiece.. but he was essentially a completely different champion, down to his personality. The malzahar rework was cool i guess, but all you did was break him at his core and remove the utility of his old W with mask+rylais. for the zone control... in return you gave him an ability that while really cool, is completely unbalancable and wasted both company resources and player's time. Why even master a champ who's going to be brought down to yorick status until his eventual rework?

I'm just gonna throw this out there, I mained old sion, I mained old shen, I mained old malzahar. I loved the last ryze but didn't want to touch him because i knew you would guy my favorite part about him (The ult) And you did.

all this time and effort being put into reworking champions who are basically fine could be put into making new champions who have the same level of quality as Jinx, or Kindred, on their releases.

seriously you're reworks have driven multiple of my friends to quit.
