I had a thought about CertainlyT and the Mordekaiser rework

ArkenStorm··4 votes·777 views

Now I am definitely among those who think the rework is bad, and although I am not one of those extremist CertainlyT bashers who say stuff like "hope you get fired" etc., I AM disappointed in the rework in its current iteration.

That aside, here is my thought: Did anyone think that maybe CertainlyT has not been vocal about the rework because he IS listening? Now that sounds weird to say, but hear me out. What if he got all of that negative feedback about the rework, and instead of tweaking what he currently had, decided to work on a totally different rework idea, starting from scratch almost? Now I'm not saying that this IS happening, and considering that he said he doesn't think morde can be healthy in a solo lane, it may not even be likely. HOWEVER, he is not the only one on the reworking team, and there may be something else in store for those of us morde mains and others displeased by the (hopefully) first edition of the rework. If CertainlyT releases massive changes to the current iteration of the rework, I am going to bring up this thread and say "I told you so" and frankly, everyone(including myself) will owe him a MAJOR apology. In the case that I am wrong, feel free to downvote me to oblivion, say "I told you so" about the rework sucking, etc. TBH if that happened I would agree with you. But let's wait and see what the week has in store for the changes.

Oh my god, what REWORK? All they are doing as far as I can see on the PBE cause I really don't care to read any red posts cause its mostly stuff that doesn't concern me. Is giving his abilities certain scale buffs like everyone else gets and his ult will now be able to let dragon follow him.

He can no longer use his W on anything but an allied champion who is around. Ever. At any point. Not reduced damage, not reduced time, no. Nothing. his shield strength is being mildly reduced from what I can tell and the potential AoE on his Q has been completely removed. :\

Unfortunately they have implied they only have patch 5.16 to do the reworks in and after that it will be all numbers changes.

If that is what he is doing then all he has to do is post, "hmm might be time to go back to the drawing board" and we would mostly shut up.

"Ahri now is a jungler, jinx suport, tresh got buffed and can only be used as a top laner losing his utility!" "Morde is now an ADC."

That's the problem. NO ONE wants mordekaiser to be a bottom lane ADC. First, melee ADC are top laners. Range is a must in siege because poking you head out to get a tower generally earns you a death. He could cut mordekaisers numbers, range, aoe... CertainlyT just cutted mordekaiser balls. Turned him into a puny ADC that need a baby sitter and will get bullied out of the bot lane by the mean ranged ADCs... unless his kit gets overloaded to the point that mordekaiser is must ban (A melee that can compete in a lane vs ranged? I don't know why I remember the launch XinZhao that could 1x5).

If he was listening, then over the last 6 days Morde would be changed slightly more than "Attack damage increased by 1.5 AD."

C'mon.

Most of times it is that way, actually. At least this early.

it's just judging by what has been changed and what has been said, it's not very likely. I'm just trying to be hopeful about this. this is pretty much almost a suck-up thread :P
