Mordekaiser Is forced to go Botlane now (His kit doesnt fit botlane)

Poske··3 votes·1,508 views

You may wonder why would Riot ever force Mordekaiser out of all champions into botlane with support Answer is easy His ulti

His ulti is way better when there are multiple enemies since: If you kill a marked enemy well then clone has another enemy he can shoot at

But lets not forget With the new changes

-Mordekaiser q is still useless against ranged targets (Good luck with hiting enemy ranged champion 3 times) -Mordekaiser w is still useless against ranged targets (It also requires an ally) -Mordekaiser has no mobility (Infact it got reduced by 10 though he has longer autoattack) -Mordekaiser has no CC -Mordekaiser has less dmg because of e Nerf

**Mordekaiser now gains full exp from minions even if ally is near Thing is Riot doesnt know what it takes for any non ADC champion to become a botlane champion so they force this upon him **

I ll be simple -His ultimate fits a botlane carry -Extra exp fits a botlane carry -**NOTHING ELSE HE HAS FUCKING FITS A BOTLANE CARRY **

Only time he will be viable botlane is if meta becomes 2 melee champions for bot. And even then swaps would happend at lcs Because mordekaiser is always at dragon side..

Funny how Riot first announced he could control the dragon ... and nothing else We should have known it will have a stupid cost

Mordekaiser is the most kite-able champion in the game. So let's put him in a lane where he is up against a champ who's entire playstyle is centered around kiting, and a champ who's entire purpose is to prevent anyone from getting close to their friends.

Also he falls off late game and can't siege towers. Perfect ADC replacement.

His w can now only be cast on champs now and heals if he reactivates it. Plus the closer he is to drag the better.

He's not forced, it just complements his kit. Kinda like a support; a lot of them can show up in other roles. I've never heard someone complain about a Support being pigeonholed in bot lane though.

Not Mordekaiser. Just...no. I'm all for trying new things and reworks and what not, but I don't understand this. Why is is W useless in solo lanes now except for in ganks? Why was his E damage literally cut in half? Why was his Q damage literally buffed a shit ton? Do you know what I'm feeling off of this? I am getting crazy Trinity Bork tank vibes. I feel like riot intended to solidify Morde as a toplane physical offtank, and are trying to fix his issues of no CC or mobility by:

  1. Making his AP ratios seem not worth the trouble of investing AP into them
  2. Giving him incentive to coordinate dragon control with his team via communication and Teleport

The problem with running him in a damage role in bot lane are just as what were highlighted in the original post. Morde will never be able to interact offensively against anything in botlane, and one of his main weaknesses is how easily kiteable he is. I feel like they are trying to turn Mordekaiser into a splitpusher with unique traits, which is fine. I just feel like this MIGHT be the wrong way of doing it

yeah The fact that they are giving him ad ratios is wierd

Specially when q has that scalling

I doubt he is going to viable at all Solo lane Morde get nerfed Morde doesnt fit Bot lane

But atleast He can control a Dragon that ll keep community in silence...
