I'm so tired of constantly being flamed for playing Mordekaiser.

Jotunheimr·12/8/2015, 6:21:30 PM·26 votes·3,069 views

No matter what lane I go, I'm flamed almost EVERY game. Adc: "WHAT DONT GO MORD ADC MORD IS TRASH" Top: "WTF MORD WHY? MORD SUCKS Mid:"WHY ARE YOU EVEN PLAYING MORD, JE'S GARBAGE SINCE THE ADC CHANGES"

Even this morning, I was in champ select and went Mord adc and asked for either Leo, Blitz, Tham, or Thresh supp, and someone doged because I choose Mord. I get matched with the same person who doged, and was told not to adc Mord brcause he is useless and trash. So, I choose Mord and went top. Immediatly, 3 people began to flame me. I asked for early ganks quite nicely, and they asked why. I explained that solo w does not have DoT and Mord is weak early. They flamed me further.

In lane, our Mundo jungle came top, but NOT to gank, but to feed. He fed the enemy Olaf 3 times, by walking up, standing there and doing nothing. I still managed to kill Olaf a few times, but man he got fed fast. He did this JUST because I picked Mordekaiser, and wanted me to learn that Mordekaiser is a bad pick.

Like..wtf?? He's NOT a bad pick if you know how to play him.

I'm reallllyyyyy getting tired of being flamed and trolled JUST for playing a champion I love. It sucks. It's ALWAYS happening, unless I duo with a friend and call duo bot.

Having a 40%-ish Win rate does hurt his reputation :P

The hate stems from one source. CertainlyT. He remade a champion with out regard for anyone in the community. Was Witnessed as game breaking at World's where everyone saw a Brokenly OP cheesy Gimmick win games. The Community hates him for that and now that he's garbage the Community should be asking for buffs. Instead they are relieved.

You're in bronze right?

Why the hell are people caring about "trash" picks in low elo? I thought that was only an issue in high elo.

Things won't change since Certainly T never actually had to answer for this. It's amazing just how much he can get away with murder whenever he does something and people want his head for it. You can design cool concepts without them being stupidly broken, just look at Gypsylord's Ekko, or Rabid Llama's Bard. Ekko had to be nerfed, sure, but he still has something to him that makes him worth taking on teams.

As for peeling with Morde, you're hilarious. Morde can't physically stop somebody from going anywhere. He can make people too wary of his damage to walk close to him, but that's not really peel, that's just the other guys being smart

Can we just be real for a minute?

You're in the shittiest ranked tier ( bracket? Bronze, that place ) in the game.

Maybe Morde is less than optimal and you shouldn't be using him. Maybe you could climb out of Bronze if you stopped gimping yourself by avoiding the strongest picks in each patch.

I can understand enjoying a certain champion's kit but that doesn't mean that there's any validity in saying he's a good pick.

It works in cycles.

Morde has been really strong in the past. Morde has been really shitty in the past. Morde has been okay in the past.

It'll all come 'round again but you can't let your bias of a champion blind your honest assessment of where that champion falls in terms of potential among his/her peers.

hes not bad, I went as urgot bot as adc with mord as support...we wrecked.

Merxamers12/8/2015, 7:37:36 PM3 votes

I've played him some lately, and i don't think he's as bad as some people say. If you have a support with any CC at all, you can do quite well in lane.

That's how it always is. I don't agree with it, but ppl will do that because it's not meta now. For instance, i wanted to do Renekton support in team builder but got kicked because of it. My bro did Ashe and Taric jg and got flamed for it by our enemy (the Taric jg was the enemy flame)

All I want to do is play my beloved Huekiaser, have fun, and be a late game Warlord. What's so bad about that?

I just can't wrap my head around all this Morde hate. :(

Heck, my enemy laner Olaf even told me that I can play solo Mord really well, and friended me after game.

Riot should buff solo lane Mord to stop people being so toxic to Mordekaiser players.

Maybe let w do more deactivate damage when alone? Or the ability to toggle MR, AR, MS first toggle, DoT second toggle, than deactivate heal on 3rd toggle, but keep duo w the way it is. I dunno something.

See, everyone hates adc Mord for almost no reason, so they won't want to let you adc and will doge, and solo lane Mord needs a stronger w.

Pretty sure that's not possible

Mode is trash tho. I like his Q. but playing him is too much effort. hes too clumsy. his ultmiate is nearly useless. his E is weak and his W is too situational and hard to use. hes garbage. they should just rework him totally

Do all mordekaiser mains have that icon

I don't think I ever witnessed anyone react in the way you depict over a champion.

And I play shit like Yorick all the time.

Morde's not top tier right now, but heck, games aren't decided at champion select. And adc Morde is certainly not a troll pick; that's the lane he's designed to go in!

Moreover, I can't think of any champion that isn't viable in the hands of an experienced player. Sure, some have better kits and better numbers than others, but the fact of the matter is that any champion can win the game with solid play and a solid team.

tl;dr Most bronzes are idiots. Sorry you have to suffer them, and may you swiftly climb to brighter pastures.

Keep making up stories for upvotes buddy.

I asked for early ganks quite nicely, and they asked why. I explained that solo w does not have DoT and Mord is weak early.

There is your problem as to why you get flamed. If a champion is so bad that you have to ask for help because some of his abilities are gimped in solo lane then you just hurt your team. So you can understand why they are unhappy with you.

It's not your fault for picking a gimped champion. But if you do, you have to be ready to take the heat it will cause. I know it sounds rude/mean to say it. Riot fucked up with the re-work. Until a time they make him an okay pick (not strong, but able to solo) you are going to see this type of reaction.

Just rework his q in some way and revert the w change to it's old state of old morde. Maybe his q can be like: Passive:Every auto attack gets him a stack,up to 5 stacks,which when he releases with full stacks,his q will be enchanted. Active:Morde swings his mace,dealing base dmg plus(80% ap) to a single target. If morde had attacked a target with 5 stacks,it will also deal base plus(50% AP)to all the targets in a radius

Just my idea of a rework,since i have also loved the old morde,and everyone would laugh when i went 1v3 to kill them with old morde,because i knew how to position. Let me see your opinions on this. Maybe his e could also stack stacks,that would also be a preety good idea.
