Reworks of OLD champions!

Asked by dudm on May 1, 2014

Hello mobafire I have just wanted to ask another question about champions again but this time it is going to be about old champs that just are not played like never or even remembered I was wondering is you guys had wanted to out in the comment sections what champs you think need a rework and champs that are obvious to literally REWORK alright guys can't wait to see what you guys think and of course what I got to say is I am positive that the champs that need a REWORK the most is karthus the Death singer.

Karthus is fine the way he is now imo. If I would rework some champions, it would be: Urgot, Sion, Skarner (yes, rerework) and Galio.

* Urgot can be great during lanephase, but his lategame scaling is absolute garbage.
* Sion is neither AD nor AP atm. Although he can be played AP succesfully, his kit allows him to only use 2 spells, and one of those spells deals no damage if the shield breaks in 4 seconds.
* Skarner is even worse than he was prework.
* Galio could use some more polishing (either focus him on a guardian role or on AP, not a bit of both)

Sion is going to get a rework, this has been announced. Riot teased a Karthus VU at PAX East, not certain if it will truly happen. Riot has said that they'll work on Skarner more in the coming patches to make him better at sticking to targets, not sure what they mean to do. Galio and Urgot need some VU(s) and reworks, but I don't think they're at the top of the table atm. A wiki page with a list of all champions who will be getting reworked in any way can be found here.

Some champions are meant to be slow to balance out something about them. Example: Jinx does a lot of damage, at the cost of lower mobility. Karthus does a lot of AOE damage and can keep casting spells after death, so they gave him a low movement speed. If everyone was as fast as panth or yi(who have the highest movement speed in the game at 355), things wouldn't be as balanced.

I agree that Galio really needs a rework I love him to death but I can't play him because of what he does I have tried support, mid, jungle, top, and even ADC in a custom bots game no matter what he is just bad I would really love to see him revamped as a support or a tanky mid with some dmg but I think he should be a support in my opinion.

I just wanted to say that I have been very successful with this champion I just feel that him and the other champ that has just as slow movement speed get a little speed buff that is my personal preference.

Yes but that is being compensated by his massive late game damage and his passive. The fact that you probably failed at him doesn't mean he deserves a rework. There are a lot of other champions that have the same movespeed :p

I agree with you here on all of these champs but with karthus I think they should at least increase that movement speed I mean dang.

Sion SHOULD get a rework, and that's what I'm trying to work on here.

I would love to see get a rework. He was one of my favorite champions in season 1 but he falls off more and more with each season.

He's gotten a lot stronger with the being added into the game, but if I recall he should have a rework currently on the PBE. I'd expect to come out this year, but not next patch.
