Kayle and Morg reworks

Kayle is played very less in the current time and she seems outdated overall. Her kit is very one dimensional and doesn't provide much. This being said Riot is going to rework the champion completely and for good.

They are planning to rework her abilities but will keep the core idea of an auto-attack based champion. She will also have some support qualities similar to what she has in live servers.

Morgana is a champion which is played quite often. She is very much relevant nowadays with people still playing her in solo queue.

Her kit will remain the same after the rework with some minor changes to her ultimate. According to Riot using her ultimate in late game doesn't seem very rewarding and often leads to her own death. She will receive a major change to her visuals along with new animations.

New Champion

A new champion will join the Rift sometime this year. It will be a support champion and will be more of traditional support.

Riot has emphasized that it will be completely different from the last support champion that was released being Pyke and while it is on the traditional end expect some new mechanics attached to it.

Mordekaiser Update

Mordekaiser is a champion which is highly requested by fans for a rework. His kit is very outdated and doesn't match the current standards. Riot has revealed that he will finally be getting a full rework.

This includes new visuals, animations, and full new kit. Riot is planning to preserve his core identity as an AP juggernaut who will primarily be targeted for solo laning.
