Remove Morde's Dragon Ghost

This should never have existed. It seems poorly thought out and executed, like someone said "Hey wouldn't it be cool if he got a dragon ghost?" at a meeting and it somehow became a reality. Morde still needs a remake, but at least get rid of the dragon. At the very least, force him to use his ult on dragon in order to get it.

I absolutely agree he should have to use his ult on the dragon to get the ghost. It is WAY too strong for him to get it for free.

I think Riot was all like, "Wow this Morde rework f'ing sucks..... Let's give him a dragon ghost to compensate." no rito no

"dude.... DUDE... hear me out... mordekaiser... PET DRAGON! nonono, GHOST PET DRAGON! Hell yeahhhh!" "DUDE! DUDE that is so....... AWESOME!!!!!" "And darius now stacks up 5 on anyone if he get's a guilhontine kill!!! And he has sustain now! Like, he slupr down the blood on his axe. Becasue f*k renekton!" "And garen gets true damage! Hell yehhhhh, the demacian justice is the lawz!" "And skarner? He's floppy..." "Dude i'm so stoned right now..." "That's it! He gets 6 crack stones that makes him go completely insanse" "Awsummmmmmmm"

Next morning: "Uhhh... damn... what a hang over.... what is this? Juggernaut patch is ruined! Do we have a rollback for pbe?" "Hum.... nope, we saved over it. It would take way to much time to program the code again, meaning inverted camera only in 2028 instead of 2021 and poppy remake delay about 5 years." "Ok. Write this down...."

All of CertainlyT's champion designs seem to start out as someone saying "Wouldn't it be cool if..." but I've always imagined it taking place at some dive bar instead of an official meeting.

I agree about using ult for dragon, but the undead dragon was like the ONLY thing they got right about the rework.

Yes, let's remove Morde's ghost dragon so he can't siege ever.

CT's design philosophy:

  • "Hey let's make a copy of Garen with stolen kits from Axe (Dota) and give him a pull for no reason." Darius was born.
  • "Hey let's make a generic necro minion mage, but with plants, who also have a fk ton of CC and epic damage." Zyra was born.
  • "Hey let's make the best support champion EVER, who has all the utilities in the entire world, and rest assured he still does damage and is quite a potent tank on his own." Thresh was born.
  • "Hey let's make Master Yi who is MORE spammy than Riven, complete with a generic wandering samurai troupe, and knockups as well as teleport to flying enemies while stunning them in air for no reason" Yasuo was born.
  • "Hey let's create a banshee spear lady who is mobility creep incarnate and obviously not a rip off of Nidalee, with tons of damage, which even extends to structures for no reason and a nonsensical leash&throw mechanics on top of it all" Kalista was born.
  • "Hey let's make the most generic armour phantom there is by giving him outright OP damage in a single skill and nothing else, kill his flexibility and trash him into a single lane, destroy his identity as a homage to heavy metal music, give him dragon pet which he has 0 connections with save from 1 of his skins, AND be granted a title so stupid it makes 10 year olds shake their heads in disapproval." Morde was re-born.

I bet you can spot the time when he simply stopped trying. So much about his creativity when all he ever did was tossing all the most generic ideas ever and put them in a spinning jar that clearly weighs more than everyone else.

Kill Morde's unwanted and nonsensical Dragon pet, then we can talk about balancing him out.

I agree. Killing the dragon already grants a team a strong, permanent buff. It is just completely unfair that the team gets an opportunity to also use the same dragon as a pet only because someone picked Mordekaiser. The opposing team doesn't get that ghost, why should Morde's team?

But here's the thing, a team comp build around Mord ADC(the only viable position anymore) can't siege without the ghost dragon. You can shut down a Mord comp with nothing but decent dragon control.

Stars Shaper10/17/2015, 2:18:54 PM1 votes

It's the reason Riot used to justify Morde being viable botlane only.

They won't remove it as they won't rever his rework.

Get over the Mordekaiser stuff, it is happening, it is here, and you have to deal with it. yall are like annoying broken records XD

Or rather a more nerfed dragon,who is smaller in size so then the pressure it applies seeing a big arse dragon is mostly faded.

It's for sieging. Adc's can naturally siege because they are ranged. Morde cant. If he is replacing a key role he needs to be able to do that roles goal. So he has the dmg of an adc, but not the siege of an adc. So the answer? Dragon ghost.

BoiBoi10/18/2015, 5:47:02 AM1 votes

No, Morde is an ADC Replacement, He is a Melee. He has no Siege Potential. Dragon Solves that. Even then you can easily shut him down if you just take the dragons which should already be a objective. Morde isn't OP anyone who says that stood in melee range and died to him as an ADC.
