Can we stop releasing new champions for while and focus on rework old ones?

Volibear Olaf is almost dead and voli got like 0.5% pickrate in top lane while Mordekaiser is dead. MonkeyKing JarvanIV are just either pure damage or no use to them if they fall behind. Nasus Kit is damaged badly. Tryndamere Jax The AA gods that you hate to face. Corki The yordle that i never see.

They already released a Champion Roadmap specifically stating that they're switching their attention towards reworks over new champion releases. This post is completely futile.

And in that plan there was 2 new champions planned while forcing on reworking champions like Ezreal Morgana that have a higher play rate than the mention champions in my post, i saw it that why i made the post.

They didn't say they were reworking either. Not fully, anyways. They only said they were going to make changes to both of their W abilities, side Ezreal's W is kinda useless and Morgana W is annoying. Kayle was targeting for a rework, along with Nunu/Willump. Yes, they said 2 new champs were in the works, but they also said that they're a long ways off. As of right now, they're still focusing on reworks.

That was the goal for this year dude. They can't just not release any new champions at all. But they have done more reworks already so far than they have in any prior year-- and it's still only August.

I already have a taste of zoe in my mouth and it not enjoyable really.

I'm not gonna make the joke I wanted to make, so as not to alert the FBI.

But a full rework is essentially the same as a new champion. You're going to get new moves/mechanics that are just as broken regardless. Take Akali's immune-to-true-sight-so-true-sight-isn't-actually-true-any-more W.

But she over 1000years! But some champions didn't get full rework but more enhancers or at least min reworks like Xin one.

BUT and heres the big thing

the new reworks gets rid of the older more cancerous designs often resulting in net gain in overall game health.

for example. Old Aatrox (a statcheck) is now dead and instead we have new Aatrox which has MUCH more counterplay available and is in a much easier state to balance.

Akali is another champ who used to have nothing but targeted skills and would just leap on your back and eat your brains. new akali is almost entirely skillshots and telegraphed intentions which is really easy to play around imo.

to me champion reworks are like a very slow chemo treatment and I cant get enough of it.

If they don't update their content, the game'd die quickly, trust me

IWait you mean as the full rework or new champions with term update their content?

New items, new game modes, new champions, new "reworked" champions... DOn't you notice how frequent these changes come ? If it wasn't the case, the game's playerbase would drastically go down
