Please, the day Mordekaiser gets reworked there's going to be a hype explosion that will warp the entire planet into a nuclear wasteland.

Nothing will ever come close to Mordekaiser if they keep doing these types or reworks. Nothing.

Now excuse me while I go pleasure myself over the thought of Morde's VGU.

Big LincolnJul 7, 201723 votes

I just hope he can carry

like, as an actual carry, not a mid-game spike and then becomes irrelevant like other juggies item 3070 Nasus

we need some power-spike variety

also bring back lightning plz

Mordekaiser should have a linear power curve that makes him scale to the true Late game raidboss he should be. And no, not something that's totally gimped with some mechanic.

Let him truly be this Dark presence on the battlefield that shall not be stopped by mortal toils. He's the Murder Emperor and he's here to take your soul!

And yes, I don't want him to be the green ghost fart standard. He needs cold hues of red and blue with his signature grey and black as a base color.

Let's be honest here though, there's no chance in hell Mordekaiser is going to be a disappointment. How can you make a Soul-enslaving Revenant King who's basically the most Metal being alive boring?

You know 100% of all champions with linear power curves are not late game champions? Because linear scaling means you get outscaled.

TeCoolMageJul 8, 20171 votes

Well honestly the 'curve' is dependent on the point of reference, it's much more complicated than 'this is linear and this is not'

Stop typing with love sauce on your hands pls.

SpoofghoulJul 8, 20171 votes

doesn't modekaiser's lore say he is immortal

well until you kill his bones or something

maybe he can hide those around the map or give them to allies and he cannot be killed until all bones are destroyed

He could get a bone every time he levels ult

If he ''dies'' he will just enter stasis and regenerate to a portion of health/shield depending on the remaining bones that are still alive

now that would be interesting because that would generally make mordekaiser the last man standing on his team and in order to deal with him you have to take out his team first

What a terrible night to have my bones found.

Personally, this rework, the warwick rework, the yorick rework, have made me so unbelievably hyped for Evelynn and Mordekaiser that i think i'm gonna have to go into hibernation so i don't die of a hype attack.

urgot is my new standard for reworks

https://i.imgflip.com/7crva.jpg we haven't even seen his numbers yet. Also, Sion is and always will be the gold standard of reworks. lets be real here.

Big LincolnJul 7, 20173 votes

sion's not even useful, he got power-creeped by new tanks. deleted 2 much of him, as well; went from bruiser-carry to meme tank

he's the gold standard cuz the other VGUs sucked lol

WinTheWarOnPantsJul 7, 20177 votes

There has only been one tank released since his rework TahmKench . The only other "new tanks" are other reworks Poppy Sejuani Zac Galio (galio is more "abomination" than tank) Maokai . The only tanks that are better than him as far as i can tell are Zac Maokai and that's because they are overtuned(WAYYYYY overtuned in zac's case(riot seems really on top of that one kappa)).

Big LincolnJul 7, 20172 votes

why would i play sion over any of them? all of them can stun you for almost as long with WAY LESS effort and much less telegraph, and they aren't cucked by mobility nearly as hard

And riot deciding that tanks should have neutered damage but absurd amounts of CC, that's all they really bring to the table atm

Bob the ToastrJul 7, 20171 votes

He had a good rework and then Rito gave his infinitely scaling health niche away to this scrub: Chogath

I'm salty about that.

Ariel the CruelJul 7, 20172 votes

At least Cho'Gath doesn't deal true damage based on that bonus health. (>_>) (I really hope the insanity has gone down since the last time I played.)

HåppyJul 10, 20171 votes

oh don't worry. he does.

DoozkuJul 8, 20172 votes

Don't mention Sion in a Big Lincoln thread.

That's the first mistake you made.

VexilusJul 7, 20179 votes

Sion is my standard for VGU's I still remember the hype around the change from the green zombie arnold swartzewhatsit into inducing fear into everyone who hears you ult from out of vision

You just pointed out the fucking problem with all of those VGUs. They completely scrapped the old champion and replaced them with a completely new one.

Granted, not all of these new champions are bad. Sion and Galio are good. Poppy and especially Yorick, however, are fucking shit all the way through.

TheFancySkeletonJul 7, 201714 votes

Yorick is frickin' awesome, dude.

Yorick is frickin' awesome, dude.

He used to be a lot different. Too different. They should have made another champion- Not overwritten one.

TheFancySkeletonJul 8, 20176 votes

I've played both, and I can see where new Yorick succeeds and where the old one failed. They kept his ghouls, they kept his slow, and they kept his smack move that creates a ghoul. Overwritten? Hardly.

Your opinion is valid. Order for life. Veigar is rad, though.

Okay.

Appreciates a skeleton talking to himself

Yes.

Also, Veigar ranks #44 at the highest amongst all role/champion combinations (at his highest) for damage dealt to champion. Though the potential is there, I give you that.

Ariel the CruelJul 7, 20172 votes

P: Mord does bonus damage the closer he is to the target.

AA: Throws metal shreds at people outside melee range.

Q: Throws his Mace at target location dealing bonus damage based on how far away they are.

W: Mord gives a nearby ally a damage dealing aura. He gains health based on damage dealt by that aura.

E: Mord teleports to target location in an eruption of speakers and German Polka. Deals bonus damage to Piltovians.

R: Mord does the chicken dance, fearing all nearby enemies for 1/2/3 seconds. Enemies that die during that time span a Phantom (pet).

Phantom: Shares Mord's base stats and half his bonus stats. Will AA nearby enemies prioritizing Mord's last AA target.

:^)

I dont know about you but I would sure as hell get spooked if Mordekaiser does a chicken dance.

StaliniumJul 9, 20171 votes

That sounds like a good idea for the next Ryze rework :D

it'd make a (AP) DPS Burst Carry (the role ADCs play) viable in botlane until they dumpster his #s and rework him again

AhristocatsJul 7, 20172 votes

morde's kit is already perfect to express his theme

morde and jhin are perfection when it comes to this

morde's VGU or small rework idk what it is, the challenge is to find tools to BALANCE his current kit

Big LincolnJul 7, 201710 votes

nah niBBa they took away his metal and electricity vfx. he ain't never been the same since they added ghost farts

and its probably a VGU

what's gr8 about urgot rework is that they actually kept a good amount of his old kit, but made it way cooler and added a ton more new shit to him. this is undoubtedly the best VGU-class rework just for that alone and mord should get the same treatment

AhristocatsJul 7, 20171 votes

idc about his vfx

i'm talking about the relation between his theme and kit his Q+W+E+R makes players feeling that they're playing a slow moving monster that can wields a massive mace while also using black necromancy his passive makes him feel as though as metal

MordepoolJul 7, 20177 votes

Everyone defines Mordes Thematic as a Slow Moving Juggernaut that evokes the inevitablity of Death closing in to his enemies

With regards to gameplay: Slow moving translates into ---> kitable non-threat that Skirmishers laugh at

His Ult inspires fear in Tanks,ADC, Divers, Juggernauts, supports, Dragons. Skirmishers aren't Afraid and mock him while dancing in and out hiting him before he can hit back. (He has garbage attack speed)

If you added Grounded ( in a gated form I'll elaborate if needed) to his Ultimate Suddenly EVERY MOTHERTRUCKER has a Reason to fear Mordekaiser

That's Fear wanting to run but can't just flash away
that invokes panic in his victims

Bring back the Fear

Riot Pay attention

i have no idea how you're playing morde but everyone fears me when i play him, every junglers get PTSD from ganking me as they remember the 2v1 everytime

Morde ult is not supposed to "FEAR EVERY MOTHERFUCKER" his ult is supposed to curse a soul and enslave it for the eternity and that perfectly fit with mordekaiser's background mordekaiser is a giant metalic revnant that uses black magic

and it translates perfectly into gameplay
