I don't even play mages and I can't resist the idea of A) Not having a whiny ADC in bot lane and B) walking around with a fucking ghost dragon.
Riot, I take back everything I have ever said about your Gameplay Update team. You completely destroyed one of my favorite champions so much that I stopped playing support altogether, but this is beyond godlike.
"We want each champion to have a unique feel in the game" - Mission accomplished.
The Queen Viper4 votesPick / Ban? You are joking right? He's going to be trash and not viable anymore... just because he can ult drake now, doesn't mean he's any better than what he is now.
The only place you could play him after these changes, is support lulz.
No point whatsoever to replace the ADC with that trash ... there are way better late game carries for that, like Cass or Ryze for example, if you really have to put an APC to the bottom lane.
#RIP MORDE
gaby1best1 votesIt's a passive, not ult on drake. Stop acting like this while the number changes. Just wait for the changes to hit PBE and then act like an angered monkey. No offense.
Matezoide3 votesI just hope this wont kill solo lane Mordekaiser.
Merxamers1 votesfrom what it says, the creeping death damage is nerfed heavily, so he'd be even more vulnerable to ganks now. Maybe it'd still work though?
Matezoide3 votesIt will come down to how his Creeping Death will work in the following situations:
What happens if Mord is alone and Ws himself? Will it deal damage?
What happens if Mord Ws a minion? Will he need to stack it with his own W for damage?
What happens if his ally dies while having the W buff on them? Will Mord be able to deal damage anyway?
Assuming they allow Mord's W to deal damage when he is completely by himself, he should be fine Solo. Otherwise, he will need some help.
Nefas1 votesW can no longer be activated in a solo lane.

gaby1best3 votesThe Darius buffs will make everyone complain but it's actually a minimum buffs he could only use in long teamfights. Skarner: don't know what to feel about this, I'll wait for more info. Garen: a buff for his late, but they said his early will get a slight nerf. Morde: all I'm saying is you get a DRAGON as your pet.

Worth noting, Darius' buff is also somewhat useful for dueling, since Bloodrage gives him a damage boost (apparently a significant one according to riot)
That said, I doubt it will break him, it doesn't fix his biggest weakness of being kited, but I really like that he's rewarded GREATLY for getting max stacks of hemorrhage now
ArkenStorm1 votesyeah I feel like he will actually be useful late game instead of standing there doing basically nothing.
gaby1best1 votesAnd let's not forget that if you let Darius apply full stacks on you, you're already fucked, with or without the changes. This is for the crybabies saying "Oh no Darius 5 stacks me and me dead omfg omfg."
LadyRenly3 votesAll this is is just novelty, oooh a dragon big deal.
Merxamers2 votesI am salivating i want to try this out so badly
Laraso2 votesAs a Morde main I'm disgusted by the fact that they want to kill off his solo lane potential.
The Yetii Rider1 votesAs a Morde main I'm disgusted by the fact that they want to kill off his solo lane potential.
Morde doesn't have a lot of CC or self-peel...like most marksmen.
He needs someone to lock down his enemies so he can kill them...like most marksmen.
He can push harder than most mid laners...like most marksmen.
He needs to survive the entire fight to do the most damage, and his pushing power makes the team want him to survive the fight entirely so he can take objectives afterwards...just like most marksmen.
See? He's actually just an ADC that is melee and AP-based for some reason. But he fulfills their role entirely, and I think he will be much better in a lane where he can get double kills and has someone to peel/heal/shield and lock down for him.
Decrit1 votesMorde fan here. I adore this rework sof ar. nuff said.
FakeGravity1 votesi hope they make darius do rather small damage without his new passive, making him a prolonge fight king
Vogie1 votesI'm willing to bet that they'll make the W activateable when alone, but it only will do a fraction of the ability. Maybe only increase movement towards allies (wait for ME!) or Just give a small Spell Vamp boost (still have the self-healing aspect, not as verbose as the Harvester), or both.
Although, they very well could make it a one-point wonder, for Solo Laners to hit when they're going in for a gank.
I remember an old mention of making him able to jungle by making blue buff fill his shield... I wonder if they're going to pull that trigger.
Dedrius1 votesYou still have to think about the fact that Its still Mordekaiser Bot Lane which means that he is gonna have some real trouble CSing vs a ranged ADC without taking a lot of harrass, which means he won't get full EXP on every creep. Yes I think he will still be pretty strong with the right support (Raka, Nami, Sona) who can help him survive early but I don't think he will be broken OP all game every game.
I am excited about being able to run around with Dragon though and the fact that this may push ADC's to solo lanes so prepare to see a lot of Quinn and Vayne top and Ezreal, Varus, and Corki Mid.
