@Riot, Possibility of compensation buff for Mord's Movespeed after boots changes

KnightOfEloHell··2 votes·394 views

Mordekiaser is such a cool, amazing champion--from his kit's shield to enslaving souls of your enemies. Sure he's slow, but up until recently you could by Boots of Swiftness with Alacrity or Distortion enchantment to catch up to the Movespeed of others. At first, I had seen the deletion of boot enchantments, but figured it would be okay but than.. Boots of Swiftness got a nerf themselves.

Other champions who have 325 movespeed, like ezreal, have other ways to get around and even have range. Unfortunately, Morde is melee, so most champions, especially with how mobile most are now, Mordekiaser cannot stick to enemies, much less run for cover if he needs to escape. Even with flash, the enemy can easily catch up if they have any boots.

Sure, you must grab rylias, and also grab ludens and duskblade, which is rather good, those 3 together, but as a melee, he is far too squishy to grab the enemy adc in a team fight. The enemy team will melt you before you even reach them, and a more health oriented build offers little movespeed.

Considering that Mordekiaser is melee, that Boots of Swiftness have been nerfed, and that boot enchantments have been removed, is there any possibility of even a small increase of the base movement speed of Mordekiaser?

Seriously. He has the LOWEST MS in the game (tied with others). I would love a 10, or even just a 5 MS increase at this point.

I agree. 10 sounds about right, maybe even 15, but 10 would be fine. And the others with that same MS have range(even illioa with tentacles), or dashes.

I'd be fine if he kept the same MS and got a small dash on his 3rd Q.

I first saw this in a thread months ago. Initially, I thought it was a brilliant idea, but than realized that a leap in one direction would acually hinder your options in how you could use the 3 AAs. Think about it: You are Mordekiaser with the ghost summoner spell. You are in a team fight, and you and your team poke a good amount of the enemies to about say, 30% health. As Mord, you flip ghost, turn on w, e, and flip q and chase after them. Without the leap, you can hit any direction. With the leap, your 3rd AA is restricted to only one way.

A small boost in base movespeed is more than enough to greatly help in a variety of ways, without affecting his kit and playstyle.

His abilities are perfectly fine. Buggy recently, but just fine. Just a boost to his base movespeed, a small one. Also, that is in the much distant future. York has been said to be reworked for sometime now, which I'm exited for, but a tiny increase in Mord's base movespeed won't affect his kit.

(Personally, I don't think Mordekiaser needs a rework)
