I don't understand what you're doing with Mordekaiser

I'll try to make it short so it won't be boring; When you released the juggernaut,you wanted to create powerful beast but with slow move. Like being a threat when you go close to them. I'm not an expert with darius,garen and skarner, I don't play them that much so you'll help me with your feedback.Concerning mordekaiser: -they nerfed his speed -> for that,they put a lot of damages in the Q spell (for now,no problem,it's a juggernaut thing). We have something slow,but dangerous. -Not a big change in his E,he does as much damages as before (just a little less,but people saying it was gutted are idiots,if you build him full ap,it won't change,but the thing is,you don't play him full ap in his current state). can generate a high amount of shield if many champions are hit. -His passive got some nerfs about the amount of damages converted to shield,but since it's based on max hp,why not,I think it's a pretty fair trade,nothing to say here.

  • A nerf in the range of the ultimate (it's normal,otherwise it would be a cancer),compensated by a longer duration,and the possibility to take the drake : fair trade,nothing to say here
  • You put some bonus XP and health regen at the cost of the armor,magic resist; it's debatable. about being a juggernaut. Where the heck does he gain this xp? I don't really like this. I prefer to remove it and to gain armor/mr it's better to get in teamfights without building full tank.

Now ,we're going to reach something I don't understand (not about mordekaiser especially,but the way you think):

  • His passive on his W and its stats became toxic against adc : they had no chance to win and i agree with that. What you did: -Added a health cost, nerfed the number of target concerned by the drain by 1/3, nerfed the damages and the speed buff (its depending on the distance now).Gave the possibility of a selfcast (only for life steal). Globally it's a nerf,and it's deserved.

But in this season,you buffed the adc , but did nothing for morde . I see less and less people playing him and i'm happy because there'll be no more ban XD Still ,buffing adc while letting morde in this state is going to kill him.I'm seeing in the PBE about the changes of Q and E,the auto range nerf (other melee champ are concerned to i know) and i'm not that optimistic. I see that the other juggernauts have more health,armor,mr. I don't feel anymore that mordekaiser is a juggernaut. I still think that you should have taken more time to rework mordekaiser than the others,because from the beginning, you don't even know how to balance him (it's hard I know). I'm not asking for up. I only want you to take a look at it again (especially about that free bonus xp which became now barelly usefull in early mid and totally useless in lategame).

Please,take care of my main and have a good day. Sincerely, Khâmul

They're doing exactly what I said they would do. They released him, he was broken for a patch, too good for 3 or 4, and now they're bringing him down to Earth. I said it once, I'll say it again. A champion who is all numbers is only good when those numbers are better than what they should be. Now that his damage is normal, not only can he never compete with Marksmen again, but he now has an even worse solo lane than he did before. The morde mains like me who saw that this would happen spoke out against this rework because we KNEW this would happen, and we did NOT want it. Sadly, a certain rioter couldn't stomach his pride and admit he was wrong.

The thing is mordekaiser was always about numbers.Balancing him is hard. That's why it would have been better to rework him from the beginning .we have his unique passive, his mace,his ultimate that define him. I think they should start from the bottom with that and try to reach something different. Even if it's not about mordekaiser, I still don't understand why they nerf someone THEN they buff the one that is against them. I don't know,it's just like in a match, one opponent have an advantage so you break his leg THEN you give a rocket launcher to his opponent. It's stupid.

Yep, everyone wanted it since riot didn't stop releasing muh flashy champions. everyone gets control and mobility,it's free.

They should change his Q and make it an stun, he doesn't have any form of hard CC and those hybrid builds don't make sense for what he is supposed to do

yes,his best cc was killing people. but removing move speed + damages will just kill him

Yeap, and I mean, he has a super huge mace (Morning Star) if that thing doesn't bash you and stun you then it is made out of plastic.

He got no CC,they nerfed his mobility (that wasn't existent) and now they nerf the damages... I still don't understand the way riot employees are thinking.

Hi. It's been hard couple of Months. The state of Morde is very much determined by the will of the Uninformed masses.

(In low elos) his ADC winrate has the highest of any adc. In Every other role he is terribad

As you go from gold+ adc winrate drops Toplane has the inverse effect Jungle is the only consistent winrate across all elos
