@RIot REAV3 Rework Pipeline Blog Interesting But . . . .
I find the work that you guys go through in reworks, updates and class updates very insightful. It helped me understand the process a little better and maybe be a little more open about certain things. While I may be a little more understanding, I still cannot wrap my hand around this timeline. For the amount of work that needs to be done in this game, I really don't feel like you really understand or care. Let me break it down for you and please feel free to correct me in any way.
You have 133 champions in this game. More champions will be released. About 20% of the current roster is good champion design, up to date, and is unique for the game itself. That 20% is a mixture of new champions, recently reworked champions, champions you feel need more attention than others every single patch and preseason, and is conceptually a good champion with a unique kit, good art, good theme, and other. The rest of the 80% of champions are those with outdated art and kits, poorly conceptualized themes and character, bt, while not tackling the actual problems this game seems to suffer. You decided to push this game into a new scene and modernization. With this, you need to have the work ethic to do that and you do not. Waiting 4 to 5 months for one class update or VGU a year is not going to hit even a dent in that 80%. You really need to up your game up. As you add more mechanics, items, and champions into the game it is going to make updating these 133 champions that much harder.
This may come off as a whiny post about waiting forever for my main champion to get worked on. It's true and there are a lot of players that feel the same way. It gets really old when you see Ekko receive updates almost every single patch and yet again a decent amount of work done on him in preseason. It gets really old when Ryze gets 7 reworks and certain champions likeKarma, Morde, Shen, Kalista and Azir, cannot get the time of day. Sorry, it is ridiculous.
Karma is a poorly conceptualized champion since her botched rework three years ago. She has no character, no theme, every bit of character element was removed, a kit that doesn't really make sense on her, outdated art, and more. Being the most number buffed character in the game is a clear indication that she is in a very bad place. Add the fact that she is bland, really doesn't have a niche or direction in this game, and no character elements . . . I say her rework was a complete fail and you have yet to do anything about it.
Morde is a mess. You ruined him. You still have yet to address him at all.
