Stop Reworking Champions - Just Make New....

Ýisus·3/11/2019, 4:51:41 AM·8 votes·1,673 views

As a casual player who works full time, I do not have time to re-learn champions. I have a small handful of maybe 5 or 6 champions that I play decently well.

Since starting October of S5 ... You guys have re-worked nearly 1/2 of my champion pool.

Xin - 633,040 mastery points prior to rework .... I hate the new xin - so iIdont play him anymore. Kayle - 117,915 mastery ... Do not like how she plays now - and do not have time to re-learn her ... so I am done with this champ now. Morgana - 157,649 mastery .... Do not like how she plays now - and do not have time to re-learn her ... so I am done with this champ now.

I now only have 3 champions left to play in ranked. 2 Jungles and 1 Midlane.

By constantly changing champions / the game in general ... you make it impossible for casual players to keep up. So we end up just falling off and moving to other games.

Maybe instead of re-working champions ... you should make new champions .... or make a legacy option to allow players to use the old version of the champion.

Morgana had a single change: +movement speed towards enemies afflicted by her ult. This sounds more like a refusal to learn rather than lack of time.

Riot reworked 100% of my champ pool

Okay. For one, Morgana wasn't even reworked. She got a numbers shift on her W, a mechanic on her R that's strictly beneficial, and a VU. If you don't have time to re-learn that then you don't have time to re-learn any champion that gets a buff or nerf/

And when a champion is shitty and lacking in real counterplay, they need changes. There's no way around that.

And Kayle's kit was dated AF anyways.

ok... I have a full time job as well, I don't play often but I still can learn champions. This is shit post of the lowest quality possible. Maybe this isn't the game for you if you cannot learn anything in the vast amount of time you still have available. You still have 2 whole days to play league and then you have a few hours each day. So you are telling me that you have so little time in your life that you cannot even learn the basics then you shouldn't be playing to begin with

All those champs reworks are pretty cool, mastery doesn’t really mean anything as each game will play out differently so one game you may look mastery 10 the next you’ll look like first time league. Relearning them wouldn’t take too long. 10 games on them and you’ll see that they kept some core concepts. I am more worried about their extreme nerfs and buffs to champs and items and runes, making a different flavor of the week meta every couple weeks, that’s the real trouble for casuals like myself.

Well you do you, but I will point out that the claim for morgana is pure bs because her kit was barely touched, it was mostly a visual update.

It is not that difficult to relearn champions, or at least how their skills play out. I hop onto the PBE servers to test out changes once a week just to see how balance changes work for characters I play. It's very easy.

Nice troll. Morgana didn't change in the slightest where her kit is concerned. All they did was a visual update, and give her ult movement speed.
