I'd like to see a bit more originality with these upcoming reworks

Hey gang,

From what I've seen with the past few reworks/new champs, Riot is fairly okay at making each champ feel unique. However, imho, they took a huge leap backwards with Kled.

There is no ability that he has that is unique to him. Mounted Q: Naut, Thresh, Blitz, etc. Unmounted Q: Cait W: It's empowered auto attacks, cmon. Rengar, Ziggs, Jax, etc. E: RENEKTON Ult: SION Two health bars: Tahm Kench

I think Kled is a scrapbook of random abilities that Riot threw on a new champion, and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sure, his abilities are all unique in their own way, giving a different effect with them, but the concepts of the design is still too similar to other champions and I feel like Riot could branch out alot more with the upcoming assassin rework.

This is your chance Riot. Your past reworks have all been pretty pleasing, but the release of Kled concerns me. I really want to see something new with a champion ability, something that makes me think "oh, that's pretty cool! I better play this specific champion to try it out!"

Maybe Kled has a simpler kit because his personality is intended to sell him, which it does. He has one of the more unique personalities in the game.

This^^^. Rito also said that mount/unmount mechanic is a bit a compicated so they wantes to make rest of his kit simple.

the mount/unmount is unique to him

you can only have so many unique ideas untill you are all out. Eventually everything will be based on either: auto attacking, dashing, shooting something, or healing

Kled, I personally think is pretty unique. You're really stretching most of his abilities comparison to other champ's. Simply giving a champion an ability somewhat similar to another champion's doesn't make it a copy of them.

Not to mention there is a **/huge/ ** difference between Kled's ult and any other champion's ult in the game honestly. The closest thing you get to it is Sona's E and item 3800.

Now, if you had made this post in the past about Taliyah, then I would have agreed with you. Let's all be honest here, Taliyah is Ziggs with rocks instead of bombs.
