What should be on the working table for Riot
There have already been a few patches since we got our mid season update with the more or less reworked Mages. Overall the changes are really nice, even tho some Champions like Swain and Vladimir profit way to much from getting healed while being in zhonya for example. The amount of heal is okay in my opinion, because there is some counterplay that just many players don't use. The Drakes are too random for ranked tho. I think here we need someting like an announcement before the game starts. Because certain Champions profit more of a certain type of Drake. That could also influence the Champions that get played in Ranked. But overall I think the game is still playable and ranked is still okay, even tho it's annoying that you can't be 5 premades when you are in Diamond.
Now to the new things I think are really important. Champion Reworks/Updates: There are a few Champions that barely get touched by players and when they get played it's just to enjoy how bad they really are or because they got the champ in aram. One of the more famous ones is Urgot. I really like his normal kit, but his ultimate is really out of place and even the fear on it, can't help him at all. One thats been untouched by patches for over a year now I think is Aatrox. While he's a fighter that attacks until everything around him dies, he feels like he's a champion that belongs to a different game. His passiv is kinda stupid, because you have to lose some hp by using your Q/W/E to stack it and get the attack speed. This makes him kinda retarded in the laning phase. Losing all of his stacks after he got revived because off his passive is bad aswell, because you had attackspeed at the begining, come back to fight, and you are so slow that you can't even hit once. It would be helpful if you make Aatroxs passiv like this: "Everytime Aatrox gets dmg because oh his spells or because another champion or epic monster hit him, he gets some stacks on his passiv. If Aatrox dies he gets revived after a short amount of time using half of his stacks (kinda like Draven'S passiv rewards him with the full amount but only consumes one half of it)." Okay, Yorick is already on his way if I remember correctly. Nunu should get some changes aswell on his w for example. His passiv credits him with a free spell after a few attacks but thats everything the w contributes to his kit atm. On the other hand we have his q that only work against minions and make him kinda useless in teamfights when he can't place his ultimate or spam his e on enemy. And some small buffs on Katarina could make her playable again even tho there are many things that can interrupt her. For example making her q jump up to 7 or 8 times would be nice, since it only deals dmg and marks the enemies. In comparison to Fiddlesticks e thats nothing becuase his e can hit a target multiple times and silences them in addition to the dmg thats almost the same of Katarinas.
Items: All the Items are kinda balanced while some of them are most cost efficent then others at the moment. But usually professional League shows us, which Items are really strong and in many guides we can read why it is this way. It would nice tho to update once again the Items Sets on a few Champions, because Athene's Unholy Grail is more efficent on some champs now due to healing with heals or shields.
This are some things that should be done in my opinion. What do you guys think?
