What are the future reworks you're most impatient about?

XIII Vanitas··11 votes·2,561 views

For me it's Evelynn (second next VGU), Malphite (being a rock/ground elemental, he has so much potential gameplay-wise) and Mordekaiser (his loyal fanbase has already said everything that had to be said, so I don't think I have to explain this one).

Ryze

Riot manages somehow to give him something new at each cycle, last time was waveclear and a mass teleport, can't wait for him to also have team-wide heals.

I cry every time.

Heals? If it's anything less than global invis + invulnerability then I am disappointed.

Mordekaiser So MM shuts up about it Because I think he has A LOT of potential that is going to waste in his current state

Chogath Similar to Mordekaiser, he has the potential to be a very cool champion, but his current state doesn't live up to it at all :/

Malicious Metal2 votes

Implying I'll ever shut up about Morde.

Jax Because bashing peoples head with a lamp-post would be so much more satisfying with fluent animations

Lùmen2 votes

And just like in the New Dawn cinematic, have his lamp post catch fire like it does there and perhaps have his AA animation change as he gathers passive stacks

franchise76763 votes

there has never been a rework ive liked as mich as the prerework version of any champion ever. so the answer would be none.

What about Garen's?

What about Garen's?

that's my other main and i couldn't be less excited about changing him

TheHappyReaperz2 votes

He was reworked though.

Valor Bot3 votes

Quinn.

Ever since her rework she's not been very satisfying to play as or against, and her theme suffered a lot as a result of the changes. The champion just feels like a roaming Harrier bot now, rather than an elite falconer team that works together. I wish Valor were more than just a particle effect for Quinn's spells. In terms of visuals, they have a lot of potential too.

Aside from Quinn, I'd also love to see a Janna VGU, even though she's nowhere near a priority right now since her gameplay seems to be aging well. I do think her kit could be much more interactive and interesting though, as well as modernized to reflect her new abilities in the lore.

LunSeiSleidee1 votes

But is a Quinn rework planned? I agree with you, as I stopped playing her since her gameplay update....

Valor Bot2 votes

Nothing major officially in the works as far as I know, there are too many champions with greater issues than Quinn right now that could benefit from a full-scale rework. However, Riot Reav3 (one of the lead guys on the Champion Update team) did say that if they ever get around to Quinn they'd probably want to give her a Sion/Yorick level VGU to improve her theme, which is what gives me hope for the future.

LunSeiSleidee1 votes

I sure hope so....

Chromatic Eagle3 votes

Evelynn Morgana Kayle Chogath Kalista (seriously I hate her passive so much) Malphite Tryndamere Aatrox

Warlord Dienekes3 votes

Most excited about: Urgot.

Most terrified about: Pantheon

Lùmen3 votes

What I imagine in a Panth rework is making his W AoE and only stun if he lands on his opponent in the center (like, with his shield..) And Q would be a skillshot. Would make him less aids and more interesting to face and play as

Warlord Dienekes2 votes

I assume they're going to do more than that, otherwise it would have been done already.

Really Pantheon's problems are this: his Q is basically a ranged auto-attack at lower levels making him a huge bully against every melee champion that goes top (and some smaller ranges champions). His W is kind of necessary to make his diving function work. If he misses then his burst the E becomes ridiculously easy to just avoid.

He is balanced around expending everything he has like an assassin, and then if the enemy survives that it's a slugging match where he's just a worse melee adc which forces him to go somewhat tanky. I don't think making the W a skill shot will really change that.

The most interesting rework idea I saw was really playing up the weapons of a hoplite. If he throws his spear he has to use his xiphos sword which changes his abilities slightly until the Q is off cooldown. Which I liked, particularly because it put more of an emphasis on using his weapons and creating more dynamic decisions between when to throw the spear.

But honestly, I'm not worried about Riot's mechanics of the rework. It's everything else about it I am afraid of. I play Pantheon because he's a Spartan. Because the Spartans were an amazingly interesting people.

But everything Riot has been taking about with him is to downplay that and instead focus on the space god aspect thing. I hate the space parastite new lore. I do not want to see star magic flying around when playing my Spartan. To the point I would be more than willing to give up his currwnt R and replace it with something more martial.

And considering the only champions with brand new designs that Riot has done that I liked was Sion, I don't think I'm going to enjoy what new look Pantheon will have.

Mordekaiser but only if they drop this stupid fruity ghost-fart shit and give his deathmagic lightning back

i just recently heard about the morgana kayle one. after the galio change im worried that they wont be the angel/demon sisters that ive always loved. it'd be nice to have a more mature version of their character designs with a deeper story though. i just hope they dont change in appearance for the worse. i'd love it if morgana was made to be more elegant and kayle's flight animation was a bit smoother. i'd also like it a whole bunch if morgana's kit was a polar opposite to kayles in a sort of yin and yang sense.

Stars Shaper1 votes

I think that the new VO of Galio confirms at least the angelic look of Kayle (I can't remeber if it was the Gatekeeper one).

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

does that actually mean anything though? i was under the impression that the VO's and such were being added based on the current roster and not the future roster.

i hope you're right. i'd hate for them to be transformed into just regular people or elves >.>

i've always had a soft spot for the sibling rivalry where one is cast out from the family and the other tries to uphold the families honor by following through with their duty. it's a tragic tale.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Considering that they are being reworked together and that sibling rivalry is one of their core thematic I am 90% sure that you can expect it to be kept.

About the VO, it would feel really strange for such a new release to be made invalid with a soon-to-be rework. It would be like removing Ryze book after Aurelion Sol was released.

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

let's hope so. i dont mind how they do it to be honest as long as it feels amazing. one thing they could do is remove kayles helmet. everyone would love that.

i had a lot of my own personal brainstormed ideas typed up, but decided it was too long so i deleted them. like 30 different things lol.

Chogath

I think he'll be the most visually impressive champion to be released. Not to mention two legendary skins.

Snowplosion2 votes

Probably these three guys:Malphite Nunu DrMundo . All of them are horribly outdated

Lùmen2 votes

Galio (I got the legendary in a box and I fell in love with the old one as well as loving the new kit as well. I also really like tragic heroic lores like his so he is one of my favorite characters.. Cant wait, even if it's just a few days

Chogath

Mordekaiser

Pantheon They have incredible potential but are gonna have to wait a while. Damnit

LunSeiSleidee2 votes

Quinn Her kit is horrible and doesn't feel like a tag team at all. And why does Valor randomly change size????

Lùmen1 votes

Valor- Seems to be the right size in the splash art, really tiny in her joke and recall animations, shows his true size in the ultimate, a bit small in her passive and Q.. Goes to show how much Riot fucked up

LunSeiSleidee1 votes

For me, it's the opposite.... Valor's size should be that of an eagle. That's how he was before the rework, too. And there's no mention in the lore of him being a giant bird.

I don't think Valor should be as huge as he is in the ultimate and in the splash art. But the splash art might pass as an exaggerated perspective.

But either way, I just want Riot to make up their mind. Either Valor is a normal sized hawk, or a giant hawk. Just don't make him change size at random!!

Lùmen1 votes

I personally prefer him to be large because I think the splash art should determine it as in how big he is supposed to be in lore. His body should be the size of Quinn's torso, perhaps a bit taller, and his wings should be the huge part just like they are in the splash art. Fits him best in my opinion

Were you playing the game back then before her rework in S3? If you saw the comparison, you'd realize how tragic it was. I still miss her fans. Identity = murdered

Evelynn I'd like to see what Riot can do with Evelynn and hope they include or take inspiration from her new base skin splash art.

Fiddlesticks My first champion I've played in 2014. Back then he was a lot of fun to play, especially with the Surprise Party skin. Now with the nerfs, buffed then nerfed the patch after (6.9 - 6.10), the price increase on the items he desperately needs like Zhonya, the ridiculous mana costs on his abilities, his super linear kit, his in-game model not aging well, his super-slow jungle clearing, new or meta junglers performing a whole lot better than him, and the recent Jungle changes, Fiddlesticks has completely fallen out of meta for a really long time. These minor changes can no longer bring him back as Riot will nerf him immediately if he becomes way too strong. If he gets buffed, he becomes too powerful, if he gets nerfed, he becomes useless. He has become the new Pre-reworked Warwick in which he needs to farm to Level 6 first before ganking anybody. Not only that, he's too squishy to be a jungler. He has so much potential to be this terrifying, demonic scarecrow, instead he looks super goofy and his lore's nonexistent. His short story doesn't do him any justice either since it's just him killing bandits. I just hope that Riot will give him an emergency VGU if the new jungle changes (if they ever plan to) mess him up too hard.

Mordekaiser Hope they do this dude justice like what everyone's saying about him. I've never played him because of how stingy I am when it comes to kits using health as cost.

Morgana I'm just sick of laning against her because of her bullshit long-range stun and her anti-magic shield. Hope she becomes something more than a complete nuisance. Sorry if I'm being biased with this champion, I just fucking hate Morgana. Every time I'm pitted against her, she always has the upper hand because of her kit, no matter what champion I choose.

Nunu Hope Nunu becomes more than what they are right now. I want Willump to be more of an intimidating wendigo and Nunu as a Yordle than some annoying kid. He could be the Freljordian Kled Kled.

Urgot I actually can't wait to see what they cook up for poor Urgot. He definitely deserves a full VGU for his current kit and design isn't doing him exact justice.

They said that her update would be a minor one... so sorry but 99% of her is staying the same. Only things mentioned on having tweaks were the passive, possibly her shield and her soil. Kayle will have the larger update of the two as they will be done together.

Urgot Zac Malphite I like Urgot's kit as it is now but the ult is useless and his Q is buggy sometimes Malph is what we all know and used to love, he's just so outdated, it's so boring to play him Zac seems kinda binary but I like him and I might even play him in the jungle next to hec in ranked if I ever get it. The rework seems like it'll put a fresh spin on his kit.

Moonboy651 votes

Zac isn't really getting a rework

it's more of a kit update, besides, he's one of the big three for the mid-season Tank update

Evelynn for the FULL Reworks.

Sejuani for the Class updates

and time will tell what else I may be waiting for.

Chogath - He was one of the first champions I ever mained, and I love his thematic, but right now, his kit is just so disjointed. I feel like they could make Cho'Gath SO much better than he is right now, and I can't wait to see what they can do with him. I wouldn't mind if he was turned into something like a Juggernaut - I feel like that would match his character the most.

Mordekaiser - I've always wanted to give Morde a try, but between knowing his kit is full of bugs, his current state and my vast inexperience, I really don't think I'll touch him extensively until after a VGU. Like Cho'Gath, I think he could be REALLY awesome if he's given a more modern coat of paint. He's supposed to be the "big bad" of the Shadow Isles, a conqueror who takes the souls of the damned to use for himself. His current kit really just...doesn't live up to his fantasy as much as I feel it could.

Pantheon Tryndamere Teemo Shaco Swain - These five are together less because of how interested I am in seeing how their themes can change, but more for gameplay reasons. Call me what you will, but I hate fighting against any of these champions. They are entirely unfun to fight against, and in some cases, they're really starting to show their age. I want to see these champions updated mostly because I'm tired of these champions existing as they are, since I think they're fundamentally unhealthy for the game.

Azir KalistaRekSaiShen Ryze - They don't need full reworks, just some touching up, but I don't like how these champs are forced to be trash tier for the rest of us because the pros abuse the fuck out of them. Granted, Azir and Kalista are definitely cancer when they're strong, so they might need a bit more work than others. Still, these champs are pretty cool but they feel like troll picks unless you're a god with them. Reworking them so they're in a more balanceable spot would be for the best.

So yeah....those are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. If there's others, I don't really remember them off the top of my head. There's too many on the update schedule. XD

Nunu He's been my most wanted for a while. I'm really excited to see him become more than a joke. Hope they don't change him into a yordle though (that's been mentioned to be something they'd consider) Mordekaiser we all know he needs it.

Forhonor3211 votes

Urgot Yes he's in the works right now but honestly I'm just not as patient as I use to be when it comes to champ reworks, whether they make the champ better or somehow worse to play as/against. With Urgot though his kit is just a bit of a mess and I just don't understand what he's trying to be.

Mordekaiser Jugg reworked failed, still has his bugs as far as I know, is one of the slowest champs in the game with no built in CC, he needs a full VGU now

Chogath He's been an old fav of mine and one of my first mains ever. But how he is right now, even with the minor buffs, he just has lost his touch on me. I'd like to see him updated to feel proper in the game.

Galio The one champ that may actually make me want to play mid.

Tryndamere He's just annoying. Only one damaging ability, a nearly unreliable W for a slow, Ult kinda breaks the game a bit when he can cast it when CC'd, and he doesn't really live up to the barbarian king feel of gameplay when all he ever does is just live it big down in split push city.

DrMundo MUNDO DESPERATELY NEEDS SOME LOVE
