After Morde nerfs, can we address odd interactions with items and his Q, and passives on his ghost?
As far as items interacting oddly with him these are the one's I've noticed:
-
Titanic Hydra doesn't reset his auto attack during his Q, even though it does for both Xin Zhao's Q and Rek'Sai's Q
-
Sated Devourer doesn't let him get off his q in two auto attacks - Xin Zhao does, but Rek'sai doesn't. I've heard this is intentional, but I don't see why Xin Zhao gets to do this, which was very much intended as they changed his coding from on-attack to on-hit just to do this.
-
Hextech Revolver, Gunblade, and Wota all suck on him simply because his Q is coded as AoE damage for no reason I can tell, and as such only work with 33% effectiveness. Gunblade SHOULD be a good item on him, but because of this it is quite unoptimal.
As far as his ghost's go, many champion's who have abilities with passive elements simply don't function. This includes, but is not limited to:
-
Vayne's silver bolts visually apply, but don't do true damage
-
Jinx doesn't get any attack speed for auto attacking with her minigun
I'm sure there are quite a few more, but these two are quite common.
These strange and unexpected interactions are not clarified in the least and ruin what would be some great items and pets for him.
Admittedly, Sated letting him get off his Q in two hits along with the auto reset from Titanic letting him get off those two hits in an instant would be extremely cheesy, but Xin Zhao CAN do this, and he has a dash that lets him pull it off extremely easily. Why is it OK for him, but not Morde? (Its not okay for either if you ask me)
