With all these marksmen changes aren't you forgetting someone?...

Mordekaiser

As much as I despise duoKaiser My gut feeling is telling me that the guy's reign of terror is drawing to a close reaaaallly quickly.

Not only does the new Itemisation offer plenty of ways to deal wirh Morde but the Marksmen themselves will be able to kick his shiny metal ass easily.

Death Dancer; making 20 % of the damage received be converted into a DoT is huge against Morde's q, not to mention it giving Lifesteal may just effectively reduce alk damage by 20%

Merculial's Scimitar; there's literally no reason NOT to build it. It completely renders Morde's ult useless, which will make his teamfighting awful

Phantom Dancer; 12% more Ms and reduced damage? Welp, gh trying to solo the enemy AD

Giant slayer; your health won't matter at all

These changes would be okay in my books, seeing that I don't really care for Duokaiser, BUT... They're making tri force even more gimmicky on morde! I always considered Tri force, steraks and rylais core on him since his MS and AS is shitty and for the 330 damage sheen procs.

Too bad they're nerfing the MS and As as well as the AD Buffing the Mana and Crit, useless stats on Morde >_< AND removed the AP for CDR.

I'd be okay with it giving CDR, my morde build lacking the stat anyways but why is Riot trying to shoehorne the item into an ADC niche? Seriously, it was almost always neccessary for Morde to do his job and now he'll get screwed on all fronts.

Tl;DR: reconsider turning Tri force into an adc item and prepare for duokaiser's winrate dropping really hard.

Except Morde isn't a marksman

Yet he's even more so affected by the marksman rework, seeing that he'll usually play duo against those champs :P

Good. Maybe people will start playing him where he was designed to go rather than where he is "Broken and op and where every wins with him".

Totally. Now if they would just stop trying so hard to make it work.

What are the new stats for Scimitar?

They're not forgetting him, they're basically just changing other adcs to be also broken so they can deal with mordhue.

It just goes to show that in the end riots idea of giving him a home in botlane was shortsighted (especially since they knew these changes were coming)

I just want him to be a solo laner or a jungler.
They forced him Bot and now are nerfing him cause they don't know what to do

It's just. Fucking sad

Yea, he's going to be utterly wrecked. The nerfs to his XP will hurt him hard for now, and then 5.22 will just make him worthless.
