@Riot, some guestions about VU's/Reworks

Hi, guys. I hope you're having a jolly day. Several questions regarding recent VU's and reworks were torturing my mind for a while now, so I decided to ask you guys. Let's begin!

P.S. Some of the questions might sound a bit rude or "edgy". Please, forgive me, English is not my native language and it's a little bit hard for me to interpret my thoughts. (This is a copy of a thread from General Disscusion. The things I do to to capture Riot's attention :P)

Xerath

  1. Why was one of his jokes removed during his rework? Is there a chance it can be brought back? (Also, I think his new version of LARPA-based quote is a bit too squeaky. He is a powerful omniscient being, not a little girl from kindergarten. :P)
  2. Why was his role so drastically changed? (Old Xerath was more of AoE nuker like Viktor or Brand . Now he is a poker/an AP sniper). Is there a chance his cast time on Q will be lowered?
  3. Why didn't he receive a new recall animation alongside new skills' animations?
  4. Is there some changes to his passive in the works? the current one is not really needed during mid-late game. I think a scaling armor penetration will fit him better (an opinion of a humble Xerath fan).

Sejuani

  1. Is there a way to bring her "Winter is coming" quote back? It can be one of her movement quotes. I am a big fan of Game of Thrones (I do know the series called “A song of Ice and Fire», nerds. Don’t worry :P) and I miss that emote very very very much.
  2. It’s a bit off topic but can you tell me if there are any new skins for her in the works? I would love a farm girl Sejuani or Moon Rider Sej (the name of this one should be probably changed or guys at Valve will sue you )

Heimerdinger (aka Mighty Donger)

Let me thank you. I love Heimer and I absolutely in love with his new model and kit. You did a great job. i have a few questions though!

  1. Why did you decide to change his clothes' color?
  2. After playing the mighty Donger i noticed that his ultimate turret is a bit too much. The thing can replace a fed adc sometimes and kinda overshadows his other ultimate skills. Are there any plans to nerf it?

MasterYi (aka Master Yisus, the great backdoorer)

  1. Where did his rad beard go?
  2. Did you consider an idea to make Yi toggle his goggles during taunt?

Kassadin

  1. Is there a chance we could see his silence again? I feel like this ability is a part of his identity, his "core" (heck, it's even in his emotes ).
  2. What is his role now? A tank, a bruiser or an assassin?

Recent and future reworks

  1. A while ago I noticed a tendency regarding recent reworks. All cc skills were reworked into skillshots (Xerath Rengar Skarner ). Does the same fate awaits Taric , Nunu and Ryze ?
  2. Will we see Sion relaunch this summer? Also, I just realized why we need to preserve his ap mechanic. One word – Сreeper!

Afterword.

Thank you for reading. I hope you will be able to answer most of them! Anyone who have some questions of their own about VU's and reworks are free to leave them in the comment section below.
