@Riot Why does Mordekaiser's Q count as an AOE Ability?

This really gimps his itemization and Keystone choices ( Deathfire) , and has been a problem for about two years (Ever since the rework). Any plans to fix this?

Edit: The gameplay boards are downvoting facts. Amazing how cancerous this community is.

It's probably not AOE but concussive --> DoT and is thus handled the same way like AOE.

If it was coded as DoT, deathfire would only apply for 1 second. It applies for two, meaning the ability is coded as AoE.

It doesnt affect the gunblade since it's the same from all damage sources

And I would assume because you can smack 3 different targets with it with one cast of the spell, that's the only thing I can really assume

Um, no. Did you even read the tooltip before typing this comment?

"Instantly heal for 15% of all damage dealt, including physical, magic, and true damage. This is 33% effective for area of effect damage."

Presumably because they don't want him to be healing all his health with one cast of Q.

Tbh? Probably leftover categorization from before his rework. It used to be an AoE spell.

That's what I was thinking. I moved the topic to bugs because apparently the people on gameplay would rather cry about lulu bugs that dont exist instead of addressing actual problems :')
