I'm noticing a trend with reworked champions

Rozair··5 votes·985 views

Their play rate has dropped derasticly aside from poppy. There was absolutely no reason to rework shen and all of these champions are less fun to play including poppy. I have jot touched any of these champions since they were reworked and I used to play Fiora all the time.

Sion's play rate went up dramatically, as well as Sivir's. Tristana may have seen a slight drop, but that's because she was verging on OP pre-rework and needed the finer tuning to level her out. Of course, Cassiopeia's play rate hit a lot of turbulence due to the controversial nature of her her ball of stats rework, but that's resolving itself with the mage update. Otherwise, these reworks tend to take an otherwise blah or stale champion and put them in a much better place. I mean Poppy actually can do things now, other than rush in and beat someone to death for 6 seconds with her old OP ult.

I'm just here hoping they don't fuck up Taric in his rework.

The only thing he really needs, is a change to his ult. Maybe make his ult and AoE cleanse? He is otherwise fine, but I fear there going to nerf his heal, because Riot hates healing for some odd reason, even though lifesteal is arguably worse than actual heals.

Chaotic Sage1 votes

I dunno...It really depends on what they do. I don't think they'll nerf the heal too much? Since it's not particularly strong to begin with n all. I've been waiting to play him for a long while since I heard the rework announced. Unfortunately it's been so long that I've mostly forgotten how to play him so I'm kinda hoping it's a full overhaul at this point xD

His passive is sort of crap, too. And I think his heal sucks.

never touxhed fiora after rework, when u lose people call u useless little fucker cuz u are playing a op champ, when u win people still accuse u for playing an op champ.

GreenLore1 votes

Wasn't it the same before the rework? Either you snowball hard or you get stomped.

That's how I remember it.

^ at least people respected you when you played old Fiora. Now you are the scum of the earth

Bodkins Odds1 votes

No one respected me when I played old Fiora. Especially when I got a penta with my ult. All I heard was, "OMG Fiora is so stupid! Her ult shouldn't be in the game! OMGWTFBBQ Press R to win.".

RIP my 60K mastery champion. Will never play again ;_;

I play Poppy more since her rework. I find her kit both fun and good.

I loved Shen. His rework is an utter disaster... They absolutely crippled him and he's no longer good or fun!

Rozair1 votes

Everyone plays poppy more now then before. I excluded poppy because she was the only true good rework that was healthy.the sion rework is arguablly because although sions new kit flows together very well he is insanely easy to dodge leaving sions basically only use as a meatsheild who turns into a bruiser when dead

If you haven't touched them how would you know? I find Poppy and Shen to be massively better now, and generally more fun to play. And I'm pretty sure Poppy's playrate went up. But maybe I'm thinking of ELO and balanced games rather than general playrate.

NoPaxt3 votes

Poppy got better, but Shen? New Shen is awful in comparison to old Shen. New Shen should have been a new champ, a Samurai instead of a Ninja with a different Ultimate.

LordGeovanni1 votes

I think Shen got better but Poppy is worse as far as play style and kit but poppy got better numbers now so shes stronger cause riot didnt want her to be strong how she was. shen was also kept down but not really held down by numbers but that he didnt have much items that he could get ap and get a good amount of hp or ap at the same time there is no ap black cleaver and im not even talking the passive just the numbers of how you had hp and ad and cdr

Shen if anything has more ninja elements thanks to the dodge field.

Yeah he is a weird ninja. Not many ninjas are built to draw attention.

you mean their playrate went up? Fiora Gangplank Darius Poppy Shen

except for Mordekaiser Skarner , which weren't really played before anyway

Beldair1 votes

Idk why morde and skarner don't get played....i find their styles enjoyable and fun. Skarner's i like since i only through him jungle and with his passive, i'll know where the opposing jungler is. :)

Anraton1 votes

I also like Morde ... about Skarner ... I don't like his dominion style mini game ....

GreenLore1 votes

You just made me realize that the one champion who had a connection to the dominion map has a mechanic that mirrors the dominion playstyle,I honestly never realized that before...

Anraton1 votes

:-D

Rozair1 votes

Because mordakiser kit makes no sense. What lane would you even put him in. It would have to be top. Yet his kit screams hey I'm a support and the dragon thing and everything about him makes no sense at all.

Darius wasn't reworked just turned up.

Shen and Poppy reworks were fantastic ._.

Poppy was great but shen was destroyed

I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys new Shen.

Rozair2 votes

As far as the shen rework goes yes he does more damage now but his sustain was destroyed. He went from having a poke to not having one. His sheild is now rather random. Also there are not many top laners that actually auto attack making his w kinda useless

I still poke, with empowered Q's while the enemy last-hits.

Was his sustain that good before? Didn't his Q heal for like, 3 at rank 1?

And his shield has saved me quite a few times.

Lastly, I beg to differ. I went against Warwick top the other day, and it worked wonderfully. Also works well against Darius, Renekton, and others who rely on a special AA.

His Q healing scaled with max health.

Shen rework is fantastic <3 I learnt to love the new shen and he is stronger that you may think :) ( Still miss the old shen tho )

Just yesterday, Playing casual game with him : 11 / 2 / 16 -- 3 / 0 / 5 -- 17 / 4 / 18 13 / 3 / 18 -- 4 / 1 / 7 ( the last game I was splitpushing all the game and protecting my adc when needed. He was untouchable =-) )

Probaly because I main him... But most of the time I carry.

He isnt bad at all. Only overshadow by op OR Meta champion. Fiora Malphite Poppy PantheonGraves for exemple :)

New shen need A lil more skills and dedication to be at his full potential. His early is quite strong. If your opponant take 3 emporered Q, he probably lost his lane unless you play like a dummy.

Once again, I main him ^-^ ( Almost 200k mastery with Shen )
