Okay, the more I think about it the dumber it gets (Mordekaiser's W ^^'')
After playing around with Mordekaiser post 5.18 I've come to the conclusion that there's no valid excuse to NOT make Mordekaiser get the damage AoE from his Harvester if not standing right next to an ally. With the removal of "Metallic Mastery" the ability got a lot weaker, heck it's literally only half as strong and yet has such a ridiculous condition to be fulfilled in order to get the full potential. It was nerfed quite a bit and it really isn't powerful enough to have such a dumb restriction to it and I just can't find ANY reason to make it such a conditional spell. Giving him access to the full spell would be quite nice for us Solo lane MordHue's and allow Riot to add some more Metal effects into it (Rito pls!) Because as of now you can't push by yourself and the ability's damage doesn't justify the lack of availability.
But that might just be my Mordekaiser bias, maybe YOU can tell me why he can't have the bloody thing :)
needs wards to watch out for ganks~~~~ incoming double kills
