The Veigar and Mordekaiser "Buffs" Are the worst thing to happen in this game.
So, my favorite item was removed, and that got me pretty mad to begin with, but atleast I understood where they were coming from, I've always known it was way too op, and way too useful on any mages, so that can get a pass. And they even admitted that it would badly effect my two favorite champions, Morde and Veigar, so they might be able to get some compensation buffs, so that would be even potentially be nice.
Instead, I look and see, they completely destroyed them. Mordekaiser is PAIN'S PALADIN. Not health's paladin. His whole thing forever has been to turn his enemy's pain into his sustainment, through his shield. Now with the percent HP, it has literally nothing to do with the pain being caused, and just how much health Morde has, which is literally the opposite of them trying to reach their goal of "fulfilling the fantasy" of Mordekaiser. And even worse, they have to nerf his damage as well! Morde has been my main ever since I bought him, back even before Vladamir came out.
I have all of his skins, with Pentakill being the only non-limited skin that I have ever bought at full price when it came out instead of waiting for a sale, just because it was THAT BADASS. I kept quiet when they decided to ruin my favorite skin by turning his shoulders from badass scarred black metal into lameass purple plastic pieces, because I could still have fun playing him.
I've honestly always been worried that one day people would realize that Morde actually completely dominates when played right, unlike how everyone always assumes he's useless since he got nerfed back years ago, and he would end up getting more nerfs. I never would have thought that what got him nerfed wasn't people claiming him OP, but Riot's way of "helping" Morde deal with the loss of his best item.
As bad as it is for My favorite champ, my second favorite got COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED. Hey Riot, have any of you actually played Veigar extensively? Cause the changes show that you literally have no idea at all how to play him and where his strength comes from. With the delay on his E, you might as well have just made his W only deal damage to minions, cause that's all it's going to be able to hit.
The Q change, seemed like a decent trade off, until I remembered that it literally doesn't matter whether you can hit 2 targets with it, because you max it fast enough the cooldown goes down so that you can farm most of the entire wave with it every time. And it's even worse, because now if you want to last hit a minion on the other side of anything more than one enemy, you just can't, no option to do that. This is a nerf to his damage, his farming, his cooldown, and yay, we get a very small amount of more range, making him like every other mage with a long range skillshot damage spell.
He used to be unique, because you had to dance around, playing with the enemy's head to try and be able to get close enough to kill each one of the enemy minions, but now your only option against 90% of mid champs is to sit under your tower until you've farmed for 30 minutes to let his Q R kill people, because now when Zed/Ahri/Leblanc/ ANYONE ELSE jumps in on you, you are dead. It used to be you had a good way to defend yourself if you had a quick enough reaction to stun, and then blow them up, but now you don't get to stun anyone, you put the circle down around them, and then they just kill you anyway because if the stun doesn't hit you immediately, they'll just do all their damage to you anyway, making his outplay potential nothing.
Riot always says they want to separate the skilled players from the unskilled in terms of choices, and this goes completely against that, now you have one choice on Veigar, do next to nothing until someone else comes to help you. I can just imagine it now, the INTENSE PLANNING that goes on at Riot, "Hey we want Veigar to use his W more often cause it's a cool spell, so what we're going to do is make it so that it will only be able to hit people who are afk, brilliant!"
Their has been a lot of BS coming from Riot lately, and it just a game, so w/e, but now when you claim to want to help my two favorite champions, instead you destroy what makes their play-style fun and unique, makes sense.
If these "Compensation buffs" actually go through PBE, I'm done, I've literally lost all reason to play this game or have any trust in Riot not to completely mess up anything else.
