@Riot, Harvester of Sorrow Post 5.18
Is this a Joke? Because it kinda feels like I should be laughing right now. This had to be the worst possible change you could have made to tweak Mordekaiser. But who am I to complain. I wasn't able to use Harvester of Sorrow anyways and in its current state I'd rather not have it at all. It's damage is pitiful and making it reliant on standing on top of your ally feels like getting dropkicked in the face with heavy boots of lead.
It's damage is pitiful and if you're trading this path I fear that the only part about Morde that won't get royally f*cked in the long run's going to be his Q, yes, the part that literally had nothing to do with Mordekaiser's identity.
But the worst part's it's animation. What in the name of Dio made you remove even MORE Metal out of Morde's abilities? Seriously? It's a ghost fart, and its damage matches the animation. It's as if Morde coats himself in confetti and heck you might even change his animations to party tricks since it does absolutely nothing! The damage wasn't that much of a problem but rather the goddamn passive attached to it.
Can't Mordekaiser get impactful abilities? Each one actually making you feel great about casting and putting points into them? hell, all his abilities feel so bad tight now. E does no damage Q only manages to maybe make me smirk a little when I hit the third AA W's utter BS, animation and ability-wise The passive feels so weak currently with the nerf to his shield gain and AoE damage. heck, it's barely viable to shrugg off some poke At least his ultimate still feels quite powerful even though the dragon's bloody foul to play against.
This just further strengthens my belief in Riot not being able to actually balance Morde and make him fun for Solo, Duo, Enemy, Ally and the Player alike. My hope crumbles with each passing day, seeing Morde getting treated like scrap Metal instead of actually helping him out! Now's the time so actually do something about it. Please....
