Li Li (Healer) [REWORK CONCEPT]
Hello all 
Recently, I just made a rework concept for Li Li, due to how lacking she is and that she’s in constant changes, being in a niche spot and having terrible healing.
I’d like to share my own concept for Li Li’s rework, feel free to give feedback and criticism.
Rework Comment:
While Li Li was meant to be easy, simple and fool-proof to use, it was also her downfall to being used for more than automated targets, it didn’t allow her to control who to target or to actually have an impact or skill to use for higher ELOsWhile she remains a “good pick” in ranks such as Bronze, Silver and to an extent Gold, her overall use diminishes in a small niche in the higher ranks such as Platinum, Diamond and Masters+
Her Q being simple and automated to use while still healing for less than other Healers made it difficult for her to save targets that are focused.
Her W on the other hand has a weak healing, weak damage and is only used for until level 16 or for the Blind before it got changed.
Her E is fine as is, but the lack of targeting makes it hard for her to use it on targets that she wants to blind, as well as use to “save” allies.
The rework’s goal is to make her more accessible, usable and more controlled when it comes to the battlefield, without making her too complicated.
By baking her Healing Brew as her trait, she’s still able to do her old job while being able to do other things.
Shifting her use from just healing to utility and zoning, she can provide a better use in the battlefield, her Fast Feet is still here as it still has some use in her new kit.
Her Water Dragon got baked in as her W while her Cloud Serpent turned into her primary healing ability Q
Her Blinding Wind is still the same but you have better control on who you want to aim it on, its targeting is automated as always but with the cone targeting, she has a little bit more control when it comes to Heroes that are being attacked.
The idea for the change of Cloud Serpent into a deployable summon that stays in an area, was to help her allies in the backline and frontline, while making use of her Fast Feet and Free Drinks.
Water Dragon fills in the void that Li Li needed, which was a small peel, which Blizzard baked into Blinding Wind just recently, a 15% slow, but since she no longer has Healing Brew as her healing ability, it was safer to use a weaker and targetable version of Water Dragon as her peeling ability.
Blinding Wind still remains the same, except the cone helps single out who you want to blind, though weaker due to her new abilities and functionality.
Since Water Dragon got removed, it got changed with a channeled Spiritual Crane that allows Li Li to combine her Basic Abilities with it, it’s essentially nearly the same as old Water Dragon.
