Morde is actually going to become an even bigger problem after this rework.

Buttigieg 2020··2 votes·644 views

I'm not trying to bash certainlyt (I hold him in the highest respect) but I don't think he realizes what makes morde complete cancer. What makes morde cancer you ask? Well I'll tell you. Morde is as if you created a champion who called "nuke" who killed everything in its range and could not die if people were in his range, but who could not get people in his range and if anybody were to die, he would make them his secondary dps and stat boosting source.This rework actually worsens these problems. You want to know why?

A) all his abilities are still point and click, so you can't counter his burst B) still shields and heals, making him extremely hard to kill but still a massive damage threat (needs to be one or the other) C) still insta wins fights if he kills somebody because it's a 6v4 D) now has MASSIVE q damage which punishes you EVEN MORE for being in his range E) lower ms means means even harder to get people in your range

I heavily encourage riot to take a second look at this rework. As I said before, I hold certailyt in the highest respect so don't take this as an insult.

You just gave me brain cancer. I dont even know where to begin.

This is why people that have never touched Mordekaiser shouldnt be allowed to talk about the rework.

E is not point-n-click. W's damage on PBE isnt point-n-click. Right clicking isnt point-n-click.

His shield is incredibly easy to stop and doesnt make him that tanky unless fed. Literally needs to build HP to have a shield on PBE.

Getting a 6v4 is hardly an auto-win unless he got the ADC.

HE IS A FUCKING 325 MOVEMENT SPEED IMMOBILE MELEE, OF COURSE YOU ARE PUNISHED FOR BEING IN HIS RANGE. Q does pathetic damage until it is leveled and he needs at least one stack of it to do damage.

Immobility is bad design now?

Anyway, dont worry. Reworked Mordekaiser is a joke. I have seen him a lot on the PBE and he is just plain bad.

Deals no damage outside of Q, cant ever reach targets, every single one of his weaknesses are twice as severe than on Live, got his entire kit nerfed in damage, reliability and range. Dragon ghost is mediocre at best.

If Mord were to be released in this state, i legitimately suggest you to dodge when someone on your team picks him, not even joking.

What's with people saying cancer when they get mad or when they argue? Anyhow it's the fact that Morde can also summon a drag, that shit makes him OP.

Trust me, Dragon is shit.

  1. Mord cant use his Ultimate while it is up

  2. Mord can not help his team kill drag if he wants to save his Ultimate, as a result

  3. It's AI is poor, the attack speed is pathetic

  4. It is almost strictly a win-more mechanic

It sucks in it's current state. If Mord tries to duel someone with the drag ghost, they just dive past it and beat his ass since his entire pwoer budget was thrown into that thing.

Anyway, people like to call Mord cancer because they keep trying to duel him inside the minion wave and then complain that they arent doing damage.

Drag can be used to tank stuff. It can also deal quite some damage to Baron as well.

dragon is good but in a very specific way

Dragon makes bruiser-kaiser into a tank-kaiser with the bonus health it gives him. The low attack speed is somewhat mitigated by its high damage in the early game and to squishies even late, and also the fact that it attacks in a splash AoE. IMO it should have some sort of scaling off of Mordekaiser's stats, but that would probably make even more of a 'win-more' mechanic

It's also very strong for sieging because unlike an ADC ghost, it can't be taken out just as quickly as you popped their carry while they were still alive. i think a carry ghost will serve better for post-teamfights and higher DPS, but dragon is much more likely to survive the whole duration

There's also the fact that it doesn't follow you if you move a great distance from it, which allows him to have presence in two places at once. Granted, trying to micro dragon right now is incredibly hard because there's a few spots in the jungle that will cause it to bug out, but I think mastering usage of this to go into two lanes or assist your team with dragon while you farm will prove to be much better than most people think right now.

E still does damage when built for AP and pen. imo some of Q's power should be transferred back to E's damage, OR give E a higher AP ratio (like, 5% more, maybe 10% if we're being zealous) to let his AP build scale a little better, but that might be problematic because it's practically impossible to miss

the issue though is that iirc it's on a lower cooldown now, which could actually mean a net DPS buff for bruiser mord without having to dip too much into CDR to take advantage of it.

i think W is the main deal breaker, and while i think dragon ghost is a little too much, it was at least an interesting concept. I actually like most of the rework aside from his base stats. currently Mordekaiser has much higher damage, it's just put out over a little bit longer time to encourage him to stay in fights. the question is whether or not he's rewarded enough for it

they're going to nerf his damage in exchange

let's just ignore everything that Mordekaiser sacrifices in order to have damage and durability i guess

no CC to keep you locked down in his range, no mobility to get into that range easier

his damage is 100% justifiable, an immobile melee shouldn't have easily avoided damage when you're in his threat zone and his Q is.. easily avoided by staying out of melee range for the duration of ~3 seconds so his timer expires

his shield mechanic is fine

if you have issue with him being designed to be difficult to take on alone then i can't imagine how you feel dealing with other duelists like shyvana and olaf

have you ever played mordekaiser before?
