Stop reworking champions just for the sake of reworking them and stop forcing meta/roles in kit.

Came back a week or so ago from a pretty long break because I stopped playing league in S6. I come back to find that a lot of the champions I played got reworked(Sometimes AGAIN) with seemingly no reason. I'm not even talking about characters like Urgot or Yorick either.

Udyr feels kind of weird and I don't really like him anymore. Was my main. What was the point of the change? Sejuani got reworked AGAIN and now has an entire ability that requires a melee teammate to use when the first rework was perfectly fine. (Her ability video suggests otherwise but when I actually played a game with her, I couldn't apply frost stacks to my opponent) Swain got a rework but I'm not really sure why. Zac got reworked when the original was fine. Aatrox is like a completely different character to the point where you might as well just make a new character instead. Singed seems like shit and his passive doesn't seem to actually do anything. Skarner first rework was fine. Shen feels really weird. Maokai Not a fan. Old voice was significantly better.

It feels like a lot of the "updates" are just change for the sake of change. And there is this feeling of a forced meta or role that the characters are supposed to play. Sejuani's is just stupid

I do agree that i don't like the rate at which champions are getting reworked and in the fashion in which they are done(having their identity stripped), but i understand why its done and why it isn't just random for the sake of change, generally it is to add counterplay or change their kit so they aren't so bland.

Singed is passive change was to bring him into play more often and the passive was a definite buff. I prefer the new shen and is one of my mains so i can't speak unbiased on his rework, i dislike the sejuani change but it was made to fit more into her theme push her more into the jungle which i don't like(was a M7 top lane sej player). Swains old kit was really easy to play for how toxic his ability's felt, also was really hard to balance. zac old ultimate wasn't too impactful and riot felt that they needed to add more of an impact on the champion also it was just a mini rework so his playstyle hasn't really changed much

Is it a buff to Singed? I couldn't even run past an allied champion with it and hes significantly less tanky with the loss of his old passive.
