League Of Legends: 5 Champions That Need Reworks 5 That Didn’t

Sett, another popular champion for the pros, can go anywhere from top lane to mid lane to the jungle. His versatility gets him banned in between 11% and 49% of games depending on tier. He's also one of the newer champions on this l


Leona's first active ability, Shield of Daybreak, has Leona use her shield to perform her next auto-attack. This next attack deals bonus magic damage to an enemy and stuns them for 1 second. This ability works best when it can be followed up with more crowd control from Leona's teammates. Essentially, Leona's Shield of Daybreak is meant to be the first ability used on an enemy that gives her teammates time and opportunity to land their abilities on the target as w


The ascent up the mountain continues in "Mountain Sojourners." The group of three are still making their way up the mountain where things only get more perilous. The card art for "Fused Firebrand" shows a giant metallic dragon attacking two travelers in the snow, Emir and Tyari, with Halley nowhere to be seen. It can be inferred that the Halley fell off the side of the mountain in Mountain Sojourners. The Mentor’s prediction about Halley and Emir failing to make it to the peak turned out to be t


In their game against Excel, after a team fight win in the mid lane, the team split up. Kobbe went to push the wave in the top lane, while Iván "Razork" Martín went for Rift Herald and the rest of the team stayed mid to take the to

What makes him especially powerful is how hard he can be to kill. His efficient self-healing power and multi-target damage capabilities make him move so fast that you can’t target him. When stacked with lifesteal items to heal himself further, he either needs to be stunned immediately on sight or, better yet, ban


Pantheon’s rework was a result of Riot cracking down on many champions that had global or semi-global ultimates. Veteran players will remember the halcyon (or hellish) days when Lux’s ultimate was nearly global, but Pantheon’s new ultimate feels weak at best and ultimately worthless at wo


Not only is he constantly getting nerfed and buffed, his kit just isn’t fun to play against and he’s a very "feast or famine" champion. Though his swamp/Catfish aesthetic is fantastic, Riot would basically have to completely rework his kit as opposed to performing surgery on some of his abilities for the champion to operate in a more balanced


The Taunt king ( sorry Teemo ) has severely fallen out of fashion over the last few years. He used to be a fantastic jungler because his ganks were legendary with his rolling, his taunting, and his knock-up. But so many champions now have abilities to counter his approaches that it renders his utility useless. As a result, players might be able to use Rammus in lower ranks to rise up, but will find it very difficult to leverage his abilities in higher tiers of difficu


The week was full of significant matchups and exciting plays. While there's still a lot to discover about Europe's professional League of Legends teams, fans did learn a lot from the matches this past week. Here are five takeaways from Week 3 of the


Skarner is a limited champion players don’t often pick. Despite the utility of his ultimate, the last rework Skarner got mostly only improved on his visuals. The introduction of the spire system was a novelty at best and the rest of his kit has a "turn your brain off" v


No longer the wide-eyed young girl with a dream, Cithria is shown leading other soldiers into battle, rallying troops with her sword raised her high. A fitting ending to a hero’s journey. Cithria is also mentioned in Riot's most recent board MOBA Game patch Notes, T ellstones , making her a staple within the League of Legends unive


Though players referred to old Sion as a "feast or famine" champion in that players either got super ahead or very behind, many older players miss his previous kit a great deal. Sion was a champion players could do almost anything with originally. Want to build AP Sion and destroy top lane until reaching the inhibitor at 15 minutes? Boom. Want to go full lifesteal, attack speed, and crit? Do it. There’s no risk of death at


This is the newest champion on the rework-needed list, but that doesn’t make him any less in need of one. Again, this champion reveals how much Riot undervalues average player experience vs. competitive p


Volibear's strengths become apparent as an aggressive, all-in-type champion. If his team is not on the same page as him, his all-in dives become problematic, and can lose his team the game. Teams need to be careful when picking Volibear, as he's not a champion that belongs in every team composit


Leona's second active, Eclipse, casts a solar eclipse around Leona that protects her for 3 seconds. Eclipse provides a flat damage reduction while also providing bonus armor and magic resistance. If enemies are within the AOE radius of Eclipse when it runs out, magic damage based on Leona's level is dealt to them and Leona receives damage reduction and bonus resistances for another 3 seconds. This ability is best used after flashing into the middle of a fight or after using Zenith Blade to jump onto an enemy. Leona' will want to be as close to the enemy champs as she can when activating the ability because it is ideal to deal the magic damage from the detonation and also prolong her protection. However, 3 seconds is more than enough time for an opponent to flash away to safety so make sure you're right in the thick of the battle when you activate this abil
