In League of Legends there are always new champions, while others are so old that they urgently need a rework. Which champions we think deserve a rework, we’ll reveal to you here.
The game League of Legends has been a popular title among players for many years. Riot consistently supplies their player base with new, cool champions. However, since the game has existed for so long, some champions have been forgotten and definitely deserve a rework.
What saved Skarner? The champion Skarner was one of the least popular champions until recently, but since his rework, he has made it into the top 10, going from rank 167. The rework not only changed his appearance but also completely overhauled his abilities, aimed at encouraging players to pick Skarner again.
How was the list compiled? The list is based on two different factors: on one hand, it relies on statistics from op.gg listing the most played champions.
However, in our case, we are not only interested in those who rank at the bottom of the list. On the other hand, we have included champions who have not been revised in quite some time.
Of course, this list also incorporates my personal perception. I have been playing LoL for several years and continually observe the changes or, in this case, the lack of changes among some champions.
1. Corki
Corki is currently ranked 2nd among the least played champions (via op.gg) and was added to the game in September 2009 (via leagueoflegends.fandom). His last major rework was in patch 5.22, and his artworks were also updated in patch 7.4.
Nevertheless, there are ongoing discussions among players about whether playing Corki is actually worth it or what sense there is in playing Corki at all. One user even goes as far as to ask on Reddit why the champion even exists.
The comments under the thread seem to be largely in agreement. Some users write:
- GeneralFrievolous writes:
I rarely play mid, so my experience is not reliable, but the last time I played against a Corki was at the end of 2017.
- HairyKraken comments:
I completely agree. I don’t remember when, but Riot uploaded a developer video about the VGU where they said they addressed the most important champions. I was really confused because I thought they had forgotten Corki.
2. Ivern
Ivern was introduced in October 2016 with patch 6.2 and already had a rework with patch 13.11. Nevertheless, he ranks high in statistics concerning champions that are least picked (via op.gg)
Shortly after Ivern’s rework, there were many discussions, and he is even referred to as a “catastrophic failure” on Reddit. Both factors, being among the least played champions and the rework not improving him, contribute to Ivern also deserving a spot on this list.
3. Taric
Similar to Corki and Ivern, Taric is also one of the champions who, according to the statistics from op.gg, is among the less played. The champion, who, like Corki, has been around since 2009, was also introduced in that year.
Like our predecessors, Taric has also received a rework, specifically in patch 6.8 in 2016. In this rework, both his abilities and his artworks were updated.
As with this topic, there are ongoing discussions among players in various threads on Reddit about why Taric is not more popular among players or why he has such a high win rate of currently over 53 %. (via op.gg).
4. Renata Glasc
Compared to other champions, Renata Glasc belongs to those champions who were introduced to the game relatively late. She was only added in 2022. Nevertheless, she is among the champions that are currently statistically not played at all. She is currently ranked 164th among the least played champions (via op.gg).
Since Renata has not been in the game for long, she has not yet received a rework. However, such a rework would certainly be helpful in making her more attractive to players.
