Mordekaiser has almost 100% ban rate in Worlds.

You might say that the pro scene meta has no place in SoloQ meta but: This is because in a more team oriented environment of professional 5v5s Mordekaiser's weaknesses are easy to cover allowing him to deal his absurd damage if he is properly peeled and handed kills with.

He's broken, he needs a fix ASAP. Really not good balancing by CertainlyT. He could have done better.

What do you guys think?

Saying CertainlyT could have done better is like saying CertainlyT could have done a good job in the first place.

Honestly I think it's a literal 100% ban rate. No?

All the juggernaut reworks need to be fixed.

Darius Garen have passives for days. They build any AD and its like rubbing your face on a cheese grater.

Skarner just needs to build item 3025 and you'll never get away from him because his Q is on a 2 sec cd.

I've only encountered Mordekaiser once so far so I've been unable to establish whats obviously broken about him yet.

So...nothing changed?

Edit: @OP Mordekaiser didn't need a rework to begin with. CertainlyT just brought out trouble by 1) Removing a perfectly fine champion then 2) Add a problematic champion of his own work.

CertainlyT tries hard to bring innovation to League, but sometimes, he just shouldn't have done it.

Darius and Garen are initially weak (PBE), then had very significant buffs to make them GOOD when they were released to live.

The only real problem is that he get's dragon after he kills it which he can use for 3 things.

1: Use dragon in a team fight and even as a frontliner to tank and deal stupid amounts of aoe dmg. 2. Use dragon to tank baron and even zone players away from the baron pit 3. Use dragon to get take all their mid turrets with the stupid amount of zoning it has and the fact it can attack champions while being retardedly tank.

Now none of this even brings to the fact that he gets exp faster than any other duo lane champions, so he hits 6 while you are still 4-5. He can literately 3 shot you at the early stages of the game. If he ults someone and kills them the fight goes from a 5v5 to a 4v6.. It's incredibly broken at a high level.

The only way Mordekaiser can land his third Q in professional play is with a Thresh girpping an already in range enemy with no escapes and then burn his ultimate.

Now that would have been 3 kills for any other botlaner.

Morde got a lot of kills played by H2K against BKT. Even if BKT is the crap team, it's still Worlds.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Mostly because of inexperencied players. yes you heard me well, inexperienced. Because Morde is so out of the game that even some of the professionals don't feel like learning what he does.

They got trollpicked.

He's easily got the most enormous amount of damage output out of any carries that early in the game.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Don't get close to him? focus on this and you will never have to fear him.

kJs1 votes

You make it sound so easy. Ha!

Stars Shaper1 votes

Unless you got grabbed by a Blitzcrank that also silenced you (or a Thresh that uses his full combo) and your flash is on CD, it is easy. But doesn't that apply to any carry?

kJs1 votes

Yes it does, except when that happens against any other bot carries, ADCs, one can deal substantial damage to the ADC, not with Morde.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Because Morde can deal it only in melee range and is terribly weak against kiting while other ADCs don't need this exact sequence of events to land a single kill.

Imagine Morde in a pros game where they are crazy coordinated where the best supports can just feed him all the kills he needs. It's easy 5v6 (easy drag) or 6v4 (every time he kills someone)

Bouncemaster Zac1 votes

He's broken in SoloQ too.

Matezoide1 votes

They are banning him because they have literally zero experience fighting a semi-competent one. Why risk it when they can just ban his ass?

But he does need the rework to be reverted, yes.
