Can we please, for the love of God get rid of CertainlyT as a designer?

He ignores all feedback about how terrible the new Mordekaiser is. Tries to teach players on what "HEALTH" is when he's designed the most cancerous champions to ever come to League. He's dead set on believing that the Mordekaiser changes are for the better and we're all just delusional. He's literally becoming the new RiotScruffy as far as reworks go.

Please. Take this asshole off of Mordekaiser and let somebody like Guinsoo, who knows what he's doing re-work him.

CertainlyT has designed some of the most fun and unique champions out there. Sure, it may have taken some tuning, but it was worth it in the end.

I like him.

Agreed. League wouldn't be nearly as fun without him.

The mordekaiser update is weird but, lets be real, no one plays him anyway. Atleast MAYBE this will open up new team comps and I mean come on, the dude gets a dragon. That's better than anything he has going for him right now.

Just because he didn't immediately get on his knees and comply with your whiny demands doesn't mean Morde is going out as is. He's the one that works at Riot and is making this champion, not you. The customer is not always right.

i think mord is fine aside from a few issues

after talking to him on the pbe he thinks that W is hard to make interesting as a spell, because it was basically just a scaling item 3068 with added defense boosts and it wasn't really an interactive spell. on PBE the main issue with W is that its "optimal case" bot lane almost DEMANDS your support be tanky initiator in order to get the W's damage to go off. As much as I want it to be self-cast again, it would probably need some sort of negative side-effect in order to keep solo-lane Mordekaiser from being overbearing

as much as i don't like 325 movespeed, it was done around the idea that he should be easy to move around but a threat to engage directly. I think it should at least be upped to 330, but it makes sense from a thematic standpoint

honestly, W is my biggest issue with the rework. people don't realize that aside from that, he's become a LOT more flexible as a champion. He can succeed with AP or AD, he can at least solo lane competently although he's definitely lost some power, and now he's, at the very least, a niche pick for bot lane.

give him some credit -- the rework's only in need of a little bit of tweaking. he did good from a conceptual standpoint, i think it's just the execution that needs a little work.

Designed champions

Darius, the Hand of Noxus Thresh, the Chain Warden Zyra, Rise of the Thorns (partly with Coronach and Morello) Yasuo, the Unforgiven Kalista, the Spear of Vengeance

those are fun mechanics that are unique.

not everyone shares ur hate of mechanics .

Yes Riot is definitely going to get rid of one their best champion designer just because you are not satisfied about Morde's rework. Get real man. Certainly T is a GENIUS!!!

LOOK! CertainlyT kids down there!

Yasuo Kalista Thresh Zyra Darius and also helped with Zed

All those champions are a masterpieces, I am just wondering how the hell are Azir Elise LeeSin Vayne and Khazix not created by CertainlyT cuz they are also the best designed champions EVER.

I played Morde for two years on my old account, and suffered through Guinsoo's original rework. Stopped playing him because of the meta shift and his inevitable irrelevance in the game, and seeing what CertainlyT is doing is just plain mortifying.

Except that hundreds of people are hating the changes.

An artist doesn't have to paint what people like; he paints what he wants and those that enjoy it will come to look. Those that don't can keep their foul opinions to themselves. The same applies to creating games.

When they create a champion, their purpose isn't solely "Make as many players as happy as possible". When you do that, you get Call of Duty Modern Warfare 5.3+ Advanced Dogfighting Edition.

AtheosisXAug 10, 20151 votes

CertainlyT isn't creating a champion in this case. He is fucking up a champion, nothing more. Also he's not an artist.
