Lol garen rework — **Garen**

The infamous "Villain Mechanic" was so hilarious that the LoL community called for a revert for a long time. With it, Garen did more damage to an enemy champion, the "Villain", but this champ was randomly determined. A very one-dimensional ability that has fortunately been removed.

Lol yorick rework — **Yorick**

For years, Yorick was the definition of the "pocket pick." An absolute lane bully, he won every top matchup but was relatively useless in the late-game and team fights. With the rework, however, Riot stripped him of all identity that made him the champion.

Now he lives out an absolute shadowy existence and some players might not even know that he's still in the game. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Lol rengar rework — **Rengar**

Another rework that Riot Games would probably rather keep quiet about. One of the most hated champions in the game, Rengar's Q was changed so radically that it was super strong and mega weird to play in equal measure. The ensuing sh**storm was so great that Riot reversed the rework after a short time. (Image credit: Riot Games)

Lol ryze rework — **Ryze**

The champ of a thousand reworks. Ryze is one of the oldest champions in the game and has had one problem for years: he can't be balanced! Due to his ability kit, Ryze was either completely overpowered or completely useless. In the meantime, the champion has been "reworked" several times without achieving any significant success.

Lol kogmaw rework — **Kog'Maw**

A simple kit, no mobility, and easy to punish: Kog'Maw is an old-school LoL champion that is simply outdated. With his rework, his weaknesses became even weaker and his strengths even stronger – quasi Kog'Maw cranked up to 11. This rework was so badly received that it was reversed within a very short time.

1-5

League of Legends and its champion pool always provides plenty of material for discussions. After 11 years, the number of playable characters has grown to the staggering 153, many of which in the shadows of the meta. Some champions were so outdated that they needed a rework – or even several. While most of the reworks were well-accepted, there have been a few exceptions. Today, we'll take a look at the five worst reworks in LoL.
