"RIP Old Mordekaiser - Gameplay and visual update"

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8kZGHnIYAAeAEC.jpg

Heh. You call that a visual update...?

I'm aware that this is just Lord Mordekaiser, but my computer's incapable of screenshots as I don't have a "Print Screen" button or command. His other skins are basically the same way other than King of Clubs (practically new).

Point is: At most, you did a particle update for his abilities and updated his texture. The pizza feet and years-old model are still very much there and ugly.

This thread is glossing over his terrible gameplay right now. Let's not even go into that. That's for Malicious Metal to cover.

Actually, I think they call them texture rebalances

Again, click the link and look - they refer to Mordekaiser as having received a visual update.

Personally, I think pizza feet are much better than regular feet. I wish I had pizza feet, although I might never walk again if I got hungry...

Worth.

They might save your life someday.

But just for that day.

I don't think they ever called it a visual update.

It's a Texture Re-balance. Dr Mundo got one, Udyr got one, Ryze got one just a bunch of champions have been given one for the past year due to the fact that they wanted to make the new colors of the textures mesh better with the new Summoners Rift, these are light bandages to an overall problem this game still has which is outdated models/textures/effects on an updated version of their engine which can now manage better quality overall and their focusing a new art direction. I am hoping Season 6 will bring us the much needed Visual these characters need especially Evelynn, Nunu, Ryze, Udyr, Pantheon, Kennen and Dr Mundo.

That's the point I was trying to make. Was this is nothing but a texture update. But they referred to it as a visual update.

A visual QoL maybe at the very most. But a full update is BS.
