##It feels as if the only rework that actually turned out to be successful was Warwick. He never once gotten a nerf or a buff, they reworked him just exactly right.

Write down in the comments section if you agree, or what other rework you think turned out well.

They're all successful. Being OP or UP at release doesn't make it unsuccessful.

WW is one of the best, alongside Sion Urgot Yorick Gangplank

Balance isn't really the goal of a rework. The goal is to make it so the champion CAN be balanced, has an updated look, and has a satisfying kit with a good theme.

A rework shouldn't have to be perfectly balanced after launch to be considered good.

My favs are Taric Galio Yorick Evelynn and Urgot . Though I think every rework has been a success.

Eve's rework feels kinda clunky, she relies on her charm a lot that takes a while to fill the bar.

Although people were crying about him, too. And for me Yorick was a good rework. I mean.. the guy was out of the free rotation. Taric is fine. Galio is kinda meh. And I enjoy Eve. For me Riot are doing well with the reworks but in the last week before the rework goes live people that are somehow mains star crying. I have never seen a Evelynn in my live but it appears that like 30% of the player base main her(the old one). I am amazed from how much this community fear change.

To be honest WW is one of my most disliked VGUs. Sure, he's viable, delivers quite well on his fantasy and has rather clear strengths and weaknesses, but whet it comes to counterplay and how much you can outplay him yourself he fails. His main damage tool is a point and click dash, his fear is guaranteed when combined with his Q and his ult is pretty easy to land (especially when you're feared), which means he can simply statcheck you. All comes down to having better pick or having help. His rework is successful and improved him quite a bit, but for someone like me who values game health and counterplay above everything else it's not enough. The fact he's doing good in this meta ruled by the most reliable classes (ADC and enchanters) simply shows that other unreliable champions are outclassed by WW and others like him.

Oh, and my favorite as of now is Urgot

Well WW kinda gets crap on because of bramble doeasn't he? I mean sure he can jump you but it's very easy to spot where he is coming from and he doesn't have enough damage to solo kill anyone like he used to with his insane attask spees steroids.

He's currenrly good in the meta is because he's very beef tank with his w on and has good CC. The current meta revolve around setting things up for the adc to abuse censor.

I mean, none of this change anything when it comes to my opinion about him. I'm talking specifically about design, not balance. And bramble and grievous wounds in general is a poorly executed concept right now

Not a fan of Galio or Sion.

I liked Warwick and Yorick.

the only thing I don't like about galio is he lost his identity. I like the champion they turned him into, but he doesn't feel like galio anymore. He feels like a brand new champion, and we lost the galio that we knew and loved.

Galio had an identity? I mean if you consider fanon as canon sure but Galio was pretty bare bone in terms of actual charater in lore.

Honestly, Galio and Poppy are the only 2 reworked champs that had their personalities completely changed.

Now, everyone had their lore updated, fixed up to something else, so on and so forth. They all got moved about a bit, and keep some of the old things that made them great.

What made Poppy and Galio questionable is the fact that their sorrow or tragedy has become something subtle.

Poppy didn't lose her dad and nearly die, but she lost her father figure, Orlon, and is on a quest that feels like she wouldn't be able to fulfill. Kind of the same way she took her dad's helmet to the king. She kept going despite the death and odds.

Galio's whole thing before was that he had to fight his depression to keep moving forward. He failed at protecting his master and felt weak and enfeebled. His purpose gone.

The new Galio technically have the same problem. He's built to protect. He feels pain when he sees his soldiers dying while he has yet to fully awaken. He has no purpose unless the magic is back and then he loses it just as quickly. Unfortunately, what makes them so stark in difference is that New Galio decided to put on a roaring bravado instead of a solemn countenance. With something like that, it's hard to tail if it's a different champ going through a similar story, or old Galio going through a new life. Enough similarities to claim him being the same. Enough differences to say it's a whole new champ.

But like I said. They're the sharpest change other than Sion (walking joke before proper thematic overhaul).

I think, to make Galio feel more like old Galio, the best thing to do would be to up the cadence of his VO lines where he becomes somber. He can still show signs of sorrow, but he shows too much "Hoorah" to take notice.
