Will Mordekiaser be viable after the Marksman update??

Jotunheimr··2 votes·225 views

With the buffs to the Marksman coming up, the 50% nerf on exp w, how slow and squishy Morde is, will Morde even be viable botlane anymore? Sure, Morde has a powerful Q, but one cannot always land it. People are wising up and getting Morde early to keep him down.

Considering how slow Morde is and the buffs to marksmen coming up, I have a feeling Morde in bot lane will just serve as lunch for the enemy bot laners.

How will Morde be viable without a damage over time w? One cannot always rely on q, especially if they have magic resist(q multiplier deals magic damage). Morde can't solo lane too well with where w is in it's current form, so going into a solo lane doesn't seem like a good idea. I mean, the jungler can't hold your hand, they need to farm, too.

Morde has one of the worst armor stats in the game. TEEMO has more armor that a possesed suit of armor,lol! How will he even stand a chance against the Marksmen after the update? I'm not complaining about the upcoming preseason;it seems cool, but it will not be fun to have a champion you and others like to play become next to unplayable.

Remeber, 3rd q doesn't always one hit, and if you go glass cannon, you will surely die, as you are hella slow and are super squishy. MORDE MUST PROTECT HIS BONES TO SURVIVE.

I hope Morde play rate goes to. .01%. So riot can see they destroyed a champion

I agree. Honestly, I'm glad adcs get an early buff, as they are weak early. I've had a tendency to have better game performace with melee champs, given my playstyle. Just like with the juggernauts, I thought it was interesting, how to play against them.

Good example: Darius. Everyone thinks he's OP, nut all you have to do is build armour and have true damage, and make good plays and you beat him easily. Dunno about higher elo tho, Im in bronze.

Anyways.

Morde adc is odd to me, as it seems I MUST build tank first to survive, and THAN damage. (boots and deadman's, slap on distortion, than go for infinity edge and deathcap works best for ME on Morde). I used to rush rylias and triforce, but a ranky resistace start with speed and summoner spell cooldown helps surviving as Morde.

I agree that Morde isn't too strong atm. Played a game against Fortune and Naut bot, and got destroyed bad.

I hope they do something to Morde that will allow him to be viable solo lane again, like give back solo DoT AoE w.

People say Morde is OP, but they only see the q damage. An unskilled player may not always land last q, much less have time to land the 3rd q.

Ps- I got his Pentakill skin, to honor his old Master of Metal identity, that skin is so badass(guitar player, 8 years) Nothing like wopping people with a big ass guitar hahaha

I don't think so because riot is buffing all marksman early damage by a couple points and making their abilities stronger. Which means that they could poker harder than before and morde at the moment isn't too strong. Im willingly to bet that riot will nerf/change some of the buffs that they are giving to the marksman. Imagine a team with caitlyn bot with a vayne top and how much they will rekt. Those two champs in my opinion will benefit the most from the changes and will probably get banned the most. Another thing is that a number of items and masteries give bonus ad if the enemy has more health, which will make tanks less common on the battlefield. Team fights for sure will be much quicker and bloodier than ever before.

Mordekaiser simply needs to go away. End of story.

What? No, Morde should not go away D:

Personally, I like whopping people over the head with a big ass guitar too much to let him go. I'm steadily playing him more and more, playing with diffrent strategies to master him.

Unfortunatly, I never had the chance to play Morde pre-rework. Mordepool, I understand that you miss old Morde, and I'm sorry. :(

To me, Morde has a lot of potential, if played right. That's why I'm playing atound with diffrent strategies, spells, and builds.

I love it when long-time Morde mains come to the boards to talk about him(where are you Malicious Metal?) and I'm hoping that with the nerf on exp w and the upcoming marksman update that Morde will get DoT AoE w back on solo cast. I HOOOPPPPPEE OH PLEASE LET MORDE HAVE IT

If the Master of Metal/Iron Revenant gets this back, I feel he can go top again. I mean Cho is strong and just got buffed! You know.

I'm steadily playing Morde more and more, as recently I have been on an awful losing streak with Olaf, and I perfer melee champs over other type of champs.

Metal will never die
