Why don't WE give it a try?
Alot of us are sore about Mordekaiser. We wanted his issues to be addressed, and they weren't. Power in his kit was shifted, things were renamed and re-purposed, and a big ol' "I'm fixed" sign was hung around his neck. It's not fixed. This kit doesn't fix what made Morde bad. It didn't solve his identity issues, in fact it made them even more confusing.
Identity Crisis and Bad Choices
For some reason, his identity seems to be impossible to pin down for the design team. I'll pin it down right now. Giant hulking suit of metal that inspires terror in all who behold him, who's weapon can crack the earth and who's footsteps can shake it. Tell me, doesn't THAT sound better than "I swing my mace 3 times and you die. Sometimes I have a ghost buddy to help me fight you."? The ghost dragon was a step in the right direction, it tried to reinforce his whole, "kicking ass, taking names(souls)" thing, and frankly, it looks quite badass. But at the end of the day, what can you do with that? What CAN you do? It's a bad choice design-wise because you have a giant floating ball of HP that shoots damage every 2 seconds, and the targets of this assault feel ZERO obligation to actually take on this monstrosity! Because why? Why fight it? I get nothing out of it, and it'll fade away on it's own. Not only does a player feel punished for not controlling Dragon properly, but they also feel punished if they put any time into fighting the ghost. This is not conducive to a fun gameplay experience. Either way, you lose.
** Mordekaiser's Kit**
What is Mordekaiser's current job? What does Morde's kit bring to the table? Damage. That's it. Nothing else. This put's Morde in a very awkward position that basically says "Are you doing damage to champions? No? You're not doing your job." That is boring. That is very, very boring for a champion with a look and theme that Mordekaiser has. You're basically Katarina with none of the mobility, and less of the squishy. And a ghost. Wooo, spoopy. It leaves much to be desired. So here's what I propose we do.
Let's come up with our own I invite every Mordekaiser main who feels like this kit didn't feel right at all to come on down, and help me brainstorm a new one that actually befits a giant walking suit of sharp metal. Before we brainstorm anything though, what direction would you like to see him go? What's more fitting, a fighter morde with tank-like qualities or a tank morde with fighter-like qualities? Basically, should he still be a juggernaut, or should he be a tank?
