I really hope Morde's VGU's more like Ryze/Taric and less like Sion

Before you get your pitchforks ready and call me out for hating Sion's rework, which is absolutely not true in any stretch of the imagination, let me tell you why I think Mordekaiser would benefit more from a Ryze level update and less from a Sion level one;

In Sion's rework almost every single thing about the old Sion was SCRAPPED. He lost the hyper carry play style, he lost his point and click stun, massive life steal and had a complete overhaul of his themes. Old Sion was a champion that was nothing more but a cheap joke, no real cohesive theme, no strategic niche. So he got just that, a complete reimagining of his character. And it was bloody awesome.

Mordekaiser on the other hand does not have the fundamental flaws Sion had in the past and would be the perfect candidate for a Ryze/Taric level update? Why you may ask? Both Taric and Ryze had a core theme that was not only kept in their rework but also improved and fully fleshed out so that they truly live up to their thematics and lore. They not only got new kits that were less binary and more satisfying to use but #retained their old kits in some way or form. Taric still got his armor scaling, heal and stun, Ryze's combo and machine gun play style's still very much the same as before. They got new tricks up their sleeve while also retaining much of what made them interesting and unique, something Mordekaiser's VGU should aim to accomplish.

As things currently stand Morde suffers from having great Lore and a solid thematic as the Dark Overlord Archetype, yet that theme doesn't translate very well into the game on a healthy level. His Revenant Juggernaut theme on the other hand has a lot of interesting aspects that are currently present in his kit, in form of his unique drain mechanic that is his shield, it being very fitting for a Juggernaut type of champion. His soul enslaving ultimate is also one of the core themes of his kit that should be retained in some way but made more healthy and easier to balance.

His play style as some heavy frontliner who thrives duking it out in the midst of the enemy team is already somewhat present in his kit in form of heavy AoE, his E's percentage shield mechanic and his obscene melee damage.

A rework should try to improve on this thematic, trying to retain the #Feel of his character while striving to improve upon his play style and themes. He does not need a complete reimagining like sion or poppy but more of a solidifying of themes as was the goal of both Ryze and Taric's rework.

Just my two cents though, you're free to have your own opinion and share what you think about this topic^^
