Thus the reason why I said they are icons. When they are supposedly icons, changes to their kit will not be seemingly as often as other champions. And I too agree that a simple removal of certain points of power in the kit is the boldest way to go. Which comes to my main point: some of the champions' kits, although not entirely outdated in terms of ingenuity, are outdated in the sense of kit flow (in this case, imo). Taking up Ahri, I find that her bundle of basic abilities are rather unappealing to play because of it plays out, only relying upon partial synergies at the cost of thematic coherence. The kit mostly stays together because the kit is identified as Ahri's. This may be why her kit doesn't have any better lane counters, since her kit awkwardly is able to fight of her foe in lane.

I'm fine with lane bullies like Renekton and Jayce, but it's a different story when the champion is overly versatile, such as Jayce. I'm someone who is more hooked on thematic, and as long as the iconic (and not so kit-lore coherent) champions remain as they are... I'm going to be stuck in this "no to mainstream/popular champions" type of vibe, even if that is not my intention.
