Stop Reworking Every Champion to have a High Skill-Cap
The title is a little miss-leading, but hear me out. Reworks are meant to change out-dated or toxic kits into new kits, not turn a simple champion into a champion with 4 different combos, some form of cc, and mobility. Like every rework I can think of has changed the feel/vibe of a champion.
Irelia and Aatrox are the two I can think of off the top of my head. They both went from being high risk high reward champions to having 100 different combos to kill the opponent, some form of cc, and some mobility ability. That's the formula for every new champion and rework. And that's why people complain about reworks not feeling like the old champion.
Of course not everybody is going to play their main after they're reworked, but I swear Yorick, Shaco, LeBlanc, Shen, and lots of other champions are played even less now. They've lost their original feel. I personally mained the original Shaco, and although his kit is technically the same, it feels nothing like it did. I can't find the same success and enjoyment in playing him how I used to. I've played him maybe twice a season since the rework, and he was the only champion I sticked to for more than like 40 games.
But my original point is still why I'm posting this. Riot is removing what makes a champion special to certain people, and making the champions what they think is special.
