Rename it to "Choose a Champion Sacrifice for 2020"

For champions like Volibear, Shyvana, heck even Nocturne, there's a lot of ways to improve them and their kits.

But with Mundo and Fiddlesticks? You're likely going to lose things you love about those champions for the sake of 'power redistribution'.

I can't see any update in Fiddlestick's future that still has his point and click fear, which if he's voted to the altar I will miss dearly. Meanwhile Mundo would likely lose his simple yet fun playstyle for the sake of adding 'counterplay'. Shen's update still stings like a phantom limb for me, (get it? Cause... cause of the spirit sword... Okay I'm done.)

Reworks are a funny thing because they are usually reviled when they come out but as people actually have time to form coherent opinions with substance, they usually find the rework wasn't the second coming of Hitler like they originally thought. The fact that you support playstyles that most find irritating like point and click 3 second fear as opposed to something that may actually be exciting to play as and against instead of just for ease of access then I would understand why you may be opposed to reworks.

Taric for example, lost his point and click stun but gained a line skillshot. It is objectively better but actually requires a brain. Riot is actually pretty good at preserving the identity of the champions, and do good in their reworks. People just hate change and at least here on the forums, will take the most innocuous and stupid things to rage about for the sake of it.

Fiddle and Mundo aren't exactly big meta powerhouses that would require "power redistribution" anyway. Fiddle could use tweaks to make him feel more like what he is and Mundo's kit literally has no cohesive theme to it. Except if you take it's ridiculousness to be the theme considering he's the madman of Zaun?

Try to have a bit more faith, eh?

Cause point n click isn't skill, those things should leave the game. This isn't 2009 anymore.

Yeah. Their kits will be destroyed. Because there's nothing remotely salvageable about them.

Mundo and Fiddle both get nerfed to hell any time they approach viability because their kits are extremely low counterplay. Riot might be able to salvage vague themes of their abilities, but their kits don't really have anything modernizable in them.
