Dear Riot,

there are so mayn champs with old kits or outdated skills ... why are u so slow reworking champs? only aatrox, nunu and akali are mentioned for 2018. There are atleast 20 more champs in need of a rework!! When u only rework 3 champs per year i guess Shen or Mordekaiser get a rework in 2025?

Speed up the process and stop wasted reworks for Ryze .. there could be atleast 5 other champs reworked if u would stop rework the blue dude over and over again!

Shen, aatrox, nunu, akali and mordekaiser have all had reworks in the past, but they are all failed reworks on some level due to rush.

Riot need to take their time to do it right, pumping out more rushed reworks won't solve anything.

riot stated that they failed with the shen rework ... so there is plenty of reason to rework him .. if ryze deserves 5 reworks others deserve atleast a second rework if the first failed ... mordekaiser has more bugs than champs are in the game

yes, i just said that they are all failed reworks, they all do deserve reworks.

i think you misread my comment

Shen needs a more thematic overhaul of his kit. He was a major health regen monster before they reworked him. He use to just spam q e and w to tank all the damage from the adc and still out heal the adc's damage. The current shen's passive just feel like you need to do so much just to get it to go off constantly while maokai just sits around during team fights and goes in with a bunch of health back. At some points of games, Mordekaiser can hit from more than 550+ range. I don't know how but he does for some reason from time to time.

And did 5 Ryze reworks fix anything about him? No. A rework is never guaranteed to suceed but rushing them decreases their chance in doing so immensely.

Only Aatrox, Nunu and Akali are currently being worked on That doesnt mean their the only one that are going to be reworked in 2018 Other than that irelia and swain were also reworked on 2018

Swain was already reworked before that and they did it again right after.

first, reworking a champion is almost as time consuming as making one and making a single champion can take up to 6 months if not more. When a champion is in need of a rework I wouldn't be surprised if it took even longer depending on what they want to keep about the champion and what needs to go. This is not even thinking about making the thing that is iconic about champions but currently is not providing healthy gameplay so that needs to be figured out. Also not even mentioning that some champions just have no clear thing that Riot can simply latch onto and those take even longer to complete as a result

Aatrox - pretty sure you where supposed to be reworked like last year, but hey another year with a clunky kit won’t hurt anyone (but you) Akali - people have been complaining since your very incepstion that you where broken and frustrating to play against, so we’ve updated your less frustrating clone Irelia instead of you, but you’ll be coming sooner or later Nunu - estimated time: the very end of 2018. But seriously why’d it take so long in the first place? guys!? Guys? Who left this dumpster fire sitting in champ select? That’s Mordekaiser boss we need to rework him Again? But didn’t we- We made him clunkier with multiple bugs Fiddlesticks : I mean you’d think this would be a fairly easy rework to come up with, too bad riot’s said literally nothing about him Karma Who the fuck are you? Amumu Again, who the fu- Chogath If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, if it is too old, stuff it with updates to delay the inevitable rework Kayle Why hasn’t she been reworked? Literally everything in her kit is point and click. You literally can’t miss on Kayle. Malphite Geez Riots never even updated your poor hide. Even amumu got a touch up on his passive during the tank updates Pantheon Another seemingly easy update that’s not even thought of. I could go on

Would you rather they do large scale Mage Update esque reworks and end up murdering 10 champions and making a couple ridiculously OP, or for them to take their time and make good reworks?

You are grossly oversimplifying the process of reworking.
