For the first time since patch 5.16 I'm optimistic for Mordekaiser

But the recent red responses on the topic and the whole Title change fiasco and how professionally it was resolved made me regain my hope for Mordekaiser becoming a staple on how an initially shunned rework might just take a turn for the better by actually trying to fix the problems the players try to pint out. And behold, Morde's W passive, a feature most of us deem toxic and unfair is actually getting nerfed, allowing Riot to try and balance his Solo and Duo lane out bit by bit. This call to action and various Rioters commenting on the matter and their future goals for Morde means a lot to us Mordekaiser players since it shows us you care and are working on fixing the Iron Revenant.

Just keep it up, looking forward for more Morde changes( especially the patch following the Preseason one as FeralPony had mentioned it might just contain some changes to his W)

Yeah, I'm still pissed about the dumpstering they pulled on Cass. And on Skarner.

Didn't they say they were going to work on Cass?

Retillin2 votes

At first. Meddler then said (about a month or two ago) that they have "finished" working on Cass for the time being. It was just never conveyed to the players, and he took responsibility on that. Have not heard if that stance ("finished") has been changed.

Skarner had the highest winrate for some time so he received some small nerfs. Still he is a strong jungler with many strenghts.

I know, he's my favourite champion. Some people think he's currently awful for some reason completely beyond me.

people are always crying. either the champion doesnt fit to the lore, is underpowered or overpowered.

People don't play Skarner cause nerfs come with more difficulty in doing good...Rather than being a 20-2 killing machine. People want a 2ez life.

It's the second nerf to W and Riot is approaching Mordekaiser very cautiously so they will put only this W nerf in next patch and see if it needs more nerfing. After this it's probable that they will explore some Solo Lane buffs.

Yet, I'm still sure that number tuning won't do much to save him and that in the end he will be either useless and very situational or still over the top. I guess Riot doesn't want to invest heavy resources on him since his rework has been really recent but that is what he needs: a re-rework.

I just want to not have to ban Morde every single game. And not have to hate anyone that picks Morde in normals.

I'm happy they're listening too MM :D I just hope the newer changes are to help morde's old identity and not feed into their experiment.

Nice picture if that weird furry OC thing was gone

I feel that Mordekaiser's general kit is fine just the dragon ghost seems to last too long and just be generally too strong.

I concur. he can be allowed to feel like an actual champion once the dragon's power budget gets distributed.

Retillin1 votes

Dragon and Free XP were tacted on to entice him to be a bot lane carry. Also the two things that prevent him from being even remotely balanced-able.

What I really want to see happen to dragon ghost is for it to decay at % max hp per second, (probably 2.5/2/1.5%) in a similar style to Azir's turrets. Right now, you just kinda send it to suicide knowing that the any damage they deal it will be irreverent compared to its timer - it should feel rewarding to damage it.

Erm, the Mordekaiser players that felt neglected and thought Riot would just leave mordekaiser in the dust like Cassio and co. ?

cassio got more trashed than morde and they instant change morde while cassio have to wait 2 seasons to get any hope of being looking at from the balance team

Last I laned cass in mid. Mordes in bot and needs a babysitter.
Ya I know the feel of having what you loved destroyed before your eyes. But don't ever try and say any Rework has destroyed a Champion more than what they did to Mordekaiser. Noone agrees with the cass is Ruined Thing Alot of people who don't know Morde look at him and say " Riot you dun screwed up "

I think he'd be just fine if: A) His Dragon ghost wasn't basically a guaranteed tower kill B) His W could actually do damage on its own so he could viably solo lane with 4 spells C) He could cast W on minions D) He didn't get "free xp" with his W E) He gets back all his metal themed spells' names
