Rioter 1: Hey so what should we do for zed for theassassin rework? Rioter 2: Let's make him do true damage per 1% health missing when he ults? Rioter 3: His q should do 50% of the enemy's maxium health as physical damage! Rioter 4: His shadow's passive should increase his damage based on the enemy's maxium armour! Rioter 4: The cool down should reset when he kills an enemy Rioter 5: His e should slow for 100% also stunning the enemy for 2 seconds dealing damage with a 1.0 ratio. Rioter 1: And his passive? Rioter 6: His passive should be able to stop zed from being banned. Rioter 1: Genius! Genius all of you, the customers are going to love this zed rework.

I swear to god if they're actually doing that....

For christ's sake the assassins don't need a rework. As much as I get owned in lane by a Zed, it's still a tradeoff. Zeds are absolutely useless after the laning phase because they cannot do a single thing during teamfights. They oppress another player's laning phase to try and get the early advantage and close the game quick. However if they can't do that, then they fail the gamble they make.

Christ.....

Considering that Malzahar's rework has basically destryed the entire meta because champions are entirely winrate whores now- before the mage rework, a 53% winrate on Soraka was considered incredible. Now it's just normal for champions to have incredible winrates.

Reworks can be good... They are necessary... However the recent mage update... um..... gives them a bad record. And it's not like people Riot have ever reworked ended up okay. It's like putting champions through an insane asylum and watch them come back out all 'kay.
