New old heros... Hear me out

I'm not overly fond of this recent magik update and I joined after 12.0 so never got to experience prime champions. Just think a reskin of the pre 12.0 characters would be a good idea. With the power scale of the champions today the pre 12.0 powerhouses would be fun to have back as a option for those who never got to use them. (Not sure if magik was subject to 12.0 but you get the idea scarlet witch and them lot)

Nah, boring old kits. New Magik is fun and modern, oldie.

People don't realize that 12.0 wasn't just those top-tier champs getting nerfed...it was a complete change to the behind the scenes math. Things that changed how the entire game functions like diminishing returns and not allowing you to armor break an opponent into negative armor among other stuff also changed how those characters operated pre 12.0. They would have to change all of that math as well to get what you seem to be looking for.

@Solswerd don't they have to slightly adjust those things for every champion release? Surly just giving them what we thought used to be broken would be fun to mess with

They would have to reimplement the math that determines damage. It just isn't practical to add on extra complexity for nostalgia, even if it was only for a specific game mode. Messing with those numbers could have unexpected, severe impacts on the rest of the game. Especially considering most normal updates cause some level of unexpected bugs
