I like it
I remember more than half decade ago I had my first account and used the RP given to me by Riot to buy the great Metal Man Mordekaiser himself. So looking at his new kit I actually like it and how it sort of brings in some old elements of his style into a new character. Passive-Yeah it's basically a 3 hit passive but it's also spells that hit champions.But on a more serious note I like how they are keeping him magic damage based since he is supposed to be an AP Bruiser who will get nerfed to hell soon like Sylas and Ekko because no one understands that they get to have the heal and shields in their kits because they are MELEE Mages who have to build squishy and get up close to fight. But oh yeah his passive it's nice since he has some chase down in it so you can't start to fight someone and they just run away. I do like how he keeps it as long as he is fighting which is a nice change of pace from more traditional out of combat buffs. Like why does the giant demonic god get suddenly slower when a little melee minion dinks him. Welp great f#@king job little guy you just saved us all from getting our shoulders split from our spines. Q- I love how they took the old element from his original Q and gave it new form because I think a lot of Mordes and me missed that with the original Q was how it was one BIG hit that could either hurt a bunch of people clustered together or one unlucky bastard who was isolated vs the Juggernaut Rework Q which was kind of clunky in the whole you had to ramp it up to get the full damage. Now don't get me wrong that's cool in it's own right but OG Morde was all about the ability to shove like a snow plow diver on bath salts and the new one was weird because he lacked too many ways to close a gap to get the big third bonk. W- Okay so they basically adjusted his classic passive to give him sort of a Grey Health bar that can turn into a shield like Tahm nice but oh wait it can also heal which is also nice because against Mordekaiser at least as of my current knowledge at 8:22 p.m eastern standard time on 5/27/19 use health to cast spells and typically you need to give those champions a heal in their kit so yeah and again Melee Mage so he has to get in their speaking of. E- Queue Taps and Alexa play Despacito because Mordekaiser now has a form of CC in his kit. Yes yes I know kids Mordekaiser was always the champion who had no CC in his kit but at least it's like a Swain E that shared some of those bath salts with that snow plow driver and it pulls people in that are hit so that's cool. Gives you a more reliable way to keep fights going. Ultimate- Ohohohoooo boy I saw the Fight Club event in Nexus Blitz and my brain immediately was like they are going to give a champion this event in their kit. So he still steals stats from his enemies which is nice and 7 seconds is actually a lot of time to beat the hell out of the now lonely carry but it might get awkward if the enemy team kills your team while you're in the DEATH PONY PLANE I mean the Shadow Realm I mean the Death Realm,finally got it,and you suddenly pop out into like 4v1. But in a gank this could turn it around since you can just single one of the people out and kill them quickly so you get their stats and can more likely handle the survivors. Also R.I.P Ghost Champions and Ghost Dragons so we'll miss you Burny,Rocky,Drowny,Cutty,and Oldy Mcgene. But hey f#@k you 100 something bugs that happened cause of the ghost and let's face it someday they might bring back the ghost because killing an enemy and using their soul to actively murder people is pretty damn cool also no Lissandra's passive doesn't really count because she's not controlling them directly.
But yeah that about wraps it up on my thoughts on the new updated kit and I hope to break all your necks on the Rift in the near future. But seriously Riot please keep the streak in Mordekaiser's lore going where in all of his short stories he always either chokes someone to death with the Dragon Force or his bare metal hands. Oh and try to do the whole Music pun theme going with his kit that's a fun easter egg.
