Class updates aren't helpful

Not gonna lie, some of the more specific work you've done on champions have been super good and deep, like you care about bringing the characters out. The class updates were an interesting approach at first, but the essence of what they were, was what made them good at all. Lets take old champs, and make them new, so that the game stays fresh. But doing a class update doesn't give the champs the love they need. Look at the assassin rework. Super great in terms of ideas, bad in delivery in my opinion. Leblanc is now a distance mage with the same skill cap as Azir on release. Zed literally has no change when there could have been more about shadows (something you're now giving to evelyn).

The worst was kog'maw with the marksman update. To be honest, i loved playing him, and loved playing him more with the update. And that idea of doubling his att speed really fit with this sort of 'spit on someone so fast glass canon' idea. Now, he's barely playable, because apparently you admitted yourselves you didn't put enough time into thinking about him? Scrap all your work? Sure it might have been honest, but now you're saying your own class updates aren't doing the trick?

Please, as a faithful player for the past few years, hear my advice. Focus on delivering those strong champs you've committed yourselfs to. Urgot sounds fantastic from the leaked info we've gotten. He's gunna be awesome! But class updates aren't giving what you guys promise in terms of hearing what the players want, or delivering on the promise of fantastic gameplay. You have even admitted to that with the examples I gave.

Hey if you'd like to talk more hit me up! ADC main for the past few years with a vivid storytelling mind, working on a book in fact. If you'd like our opinions on where champs should go, start a board page and ask mains to jump on to see what they see! It'd be awesome! True collaboration with clear intentions! I would be so impressed as would everyone in the gaming community.

Rioto had to revert kog'maw and the assassin's update was a big flop.

This tank update has been the worst. All but a few tanks can't function because of it, and the rest have basically been given the shaft. Meanwhile, ADC got buffed during it despite wht a terrible idea it is to buff ADCs while nerfing tanks
