"Even though Mordekaiser's a nobody in public servers, we're still going to nerf him hard anyway thanks to him dominating hard LCS, even though he's only played twice."

Doubtful, it was a niche pickup by Flyquest. One Team. (That's like saying we should nerf Anivia cause Froggen.)

Now, if the other teams followed suit, that might change then.

IIRC, Pantheon was picked twice in last year's LCS, and Riot instantly nerfed him.

I mean there used to be a ton of complaints about Panth being oppressive in-lane & Riot didn't take action. And when Panth was played twice in LCS, only THEN will they start nerfing him.

The thing that Riot is pretty slow in deciding exactly how they want to hit their champion pool. Though the difference is, it seemed like Panth cropped up in the LCS while being Oppressive in YoloQ. Those together gave Riot the Justification to nerf him. But Mord just popped up, without the YoloQ witchhunt on the side, So Riot is probably more cautious in their assessment of Mord.

Actually last season panth was one of the highest winrate top laners for about 2 patches and they nerfed him so he wasn't as oppressive yet he's still insane with lethality imagine if they hadnt nerfed him lol.

BeatzBoyFTW3 votes

The problem was that Riot doesn't give a shit if he were "one of the highest winrate top laners" in public server. Only if something new is dominating LCS, only then Riot takes action.

It had nothing to do with competitive play. Pantheon was nerfed because he was auto winning lanes.

Riot's EZ-2-Follow Guide for Balancing Around the LCS:

  1. Are they played?
  2. If yes, is their name Lee Sin, Yasuo, or Syndra?
  3. If yes, leave them. If no, nerf them. Alternatively:
  4. Is their name Shen?
  5. If yes, are they played? JK doesn't matter nerf him.

Lee, Yasuo, and Syndra have been nerfed before in different ways.

Lee had damage on R reduced.

Yasuo got nerfed out of being able to run tank builds.

Syndra's multi-ball stun got nerfed out.

Can we STOP?

TeCoolMage6 votes

b-bu-but my circlejerk, how will I farm upvotes without my unexposed lies?!

Exalomaniac6 votes

The Yasuo nerf was well and good.

But Syndra and Lee Sin.... they're still way too strong right now. Anyone who doesnt own 2 MR items still gets deleted (solely) by around 5 - 6 ball ult. And Lee Sin "skillful" ult into QQ is still a ridiculous nuke.

INoble KnightI2 votes

Getting a 5-6 ball ult takes actual time to build up and can only be applied for a limited time. So yeah.

DJMason882 votes

That's why you build MR. Other burst mages can do the same thing when they are fed.

chipndip11 votes

Maybe if Syndra's fed a bit, yeah, a 5-6 ball ult could one-shot, but I'm tired of people lying on Syndra's damage.

As for Lee, HE'S A DIVER. If he didn't do damage, he'd be useless in this game. Can we stop now? "Lee ulting me into executing me hurts". In other news, the moon is smaller than the Earth is.

The problem with those two is that they are oppressive as hell to play against early game yet they scale amazingly well into the late game.

chipndip11 votes

Can people stop BLATANTLY LYING? PLEASE?

Death by Glamour4 votes

Where am I lying

That they are oppressive early game

Or

That they scale well

Or both.

I've always said Morde doesn't need any buffs whatsoever. Kept getting downvoted by Morde mains and fanboys (some of which are well-known). Hopefully we'll see adjustments in the light of this.

I feel you, I always make a "X is OP/overloaded, because..." thread and get downvoted to hell just to watch X being picked in the LSC randomly two months later and everyone crying.

Who did he Lane against this time

Goodnight Nunu1 votes

Jhin and Malz

GigglesO1 votes

Best part is morde in a way counters malz. Mordes W eats through malz minions.

He actually didn't use his W to his full potential to farm malz minions or heal his allies. I saw at least one play where he could have easily poped w to save his ally, but he didn't.

Sire Hippington2 votes

though that game wasn't won by morde, it was lost by ryze walking face first into a blitzcrank powerfist(he didn't even need to hook, it wasn't even a brush facecheck, ryze just walked right into 3 people he could see) giving away FB and a free dragon, and a free dragon with morde means a free tower on top, cause while morde himself is on the weak side, his dragon ghost still is broken and the only reason to eve bat an eye on him if you don't truely love him as an character.

they were 3v4 tho

but yeah you're right

Actually it would be undefined if you want to go there, anything over zero is undefined. Also

Actually it would be undefined if you want to go there, anything over zero is undefined. Also

*It's or It is.

considering we're talking how the KDA works in games 0 games means 0 kda. and 0/0 isn't undefined answer more complex. I was just saying that having 0 games means 0 winrate because you didn't win anything.

Skins Project1 votes

We weren't talking about KDA though. We were talking about pickrate. And the pickrate isn't 0%, the pickrate would be undefined. 0% means that it could have been picked but the amount was minuscule. Undefined simply put means it wasn't there/present at all.

C9 banned him out against FlyQuest today lol.

More like incoming bugfixes. The moment a bug massively fucks someone over on the competitive stage Riot will have just miraculously found a fix after all this time.

I really hope those bug fixes happen.
