It's a common perception that Mordekaiser's Rework pleased very few, was uneeded and has caused numerous angry Threads directed at Riot.

So what garnered this outcry of anger My belief is it was that the changes were staggered. Let's discuss chronologically

1)ignored feedback (and any dissenting ideas about Rework direction).

What we can learn from This is to engage with the Community before the set in stone Rework hits the PBE. Ask for kit ideas witthin your criteria Frankly how Mordekaiser was handled in this regard was simply disrespectful.

  1. a unfun for everyone kit.(its been said and isn't the point of this thread.)

3)A poorly staged release (Placing the most controversial and Forced Rework amongst 3 others not a good idea then Adding the Lore weeks later!?!!!!? Release a Rework do it all at once MAKE a Presentation)

What can we learn from this: if You're going to make drastic gameplay changes to a champion with a hardcore fanbase I will point out the Sion Rework as a crowning Achievement. Which should be emulated if you ever plan on reworking Morde or Riven or Lee Sin. It's the only way to go.

What I'd like Riot to take away from this above all else the Community explosion over the Title change was Fueled by these 3 points. We want Riot to take another long hard Look at Morde and then ask the Community for ideas.

Thank you for your time. S1 Morde Main for life

You can see by these recent incidents and confrontations that most of the time Riot's team don't seem to know what they are doing.

First we get changes nobody really wanted while knowing they will not work and still they were forced and implemented to later make the person responsible for the rework come here (after a full month of ignoring community feedback) to accept things weren't looking like they were on paper. We saw this madness beforehand, why he didn't? This is the product of the "I know best" attitude.

Second, after the update went live, those "Morde mains since forever" bot laners started exploiting his broken kit into Free Elo Climbs. Now that Morde keeps getting nerfed to the ground and with the display that Riot indeed doesn't know what to do with him, less and less people are picking him as the time goes by. So easy to make a champion appealing by making his kit broken huh? But not that easy to do a proper design? Figures.

Lastly, when you change his title our of nowhere to something as generic as "The Lord of Death" when he already has a Lord Skin which semantically would make the skin feel inferior by name just show how little they care and research has been done on their "own" product. It's simply and insult to those who do happen to love the champ and did take the time to appreciate the content.

Supporting your cause, fellow huefellow. Pre-Work Mordekaiser since S3 (Gone with Old Morde)
