Mordekaiser is hilariously broken and needs some serious changes.

I don't know how a champion manages to literally have 100+ bugs for more than a year, but the fact that Mordekaiser got past QA in that state is a joke. At the very least, make his ult transfer all of his bugs to the target for the duration, to add a bit more consistency to his kit.

Now Rito needs to make a champ's playstyle based on bugs/a bug.

Oh wait... Riven

Not based on bugs anymore, that got hot fixed and she was given a QOL change.

Don't worry, I was just making a joke.

Also LeeSin.

Ward-hopping was never an intentional part of his design. It was discovered to be a bug, but now Riot just lets it be there for the #FlashyLC$Playz.

That's interesting.

I didn't actually know that, lol.

The funniest Lee fact I know is the fact that he was not meant to exist (much to my chagrin). He was a canned champion but community outcry (lots of QQ) brought him back. It's the reason why he has a Traditional skin even though he did not get reworked (Traditional Lee Sin was his original base skin).

Which community ? You can find LOL Champ select preview from early 2008 and see that Lee Sin is there. Pretty sure public didnt know about League back then.

He needs more than mere changes, he needs a full rework from the ground up. As Malicious himself said, buffing Mordekaiser in any way is not good for the game, he's just way too unhealthy of a champion.

I still can't stop thinking about the poor Mofo who had to make the list of 100+ bugs with video evidence.

Mordekaiser was made in a simpler time when there were a lot less moving parts in the game. Mordekaiser worked really well with few bugs back in earlier seasons. But as the game has grown more and more complex, the tech on his kit simply hasn't kept up. This is why he has so many bugs. Not because Mordekaiser himself is buggy, but because most of the new champions and mechanics introduced to the game function in ways that could never have been expected when he was released.

So, how does Riot fix this? They'd have to redo his code from the ground up most likely. If he were a champion like Lissandra or something who has a relatively modern kit and visuals/audio, then that might not be an issue. They could recode all of his stuff and then he'd be good as new.

But this is not the case. Morde is a walking garbage can. His kit doesn't make sense in the modern game, nor do his visuals or VO. Riot want to give him a full update. If they were to attempt to fix all of his bugs now, then when they get around to reworking him all of that bugfixing work is down the drain. The time that they would spend fixing these bugs is time they could spend coding completely new abilities for his rework.

I'm confident that Morde will be reworked in season 8, probably early on even, since he's one of if not the most problematic case and one of the most requested updates as far as I'm aware. So have patience.

If they ever rework him again I say they should keep the current w its a lot of fun to use and its very useful. They can change everything else though.

You sure we should fix the bugs? I don't know, man.

Are you serious? You want them to fix the bugs and leave him as he is? He is already extremely strong, with the bugfixes he would be beyond op, possibly the most op thing ever to grace the earth.

Thats why you pick Mordekaiser. You sacrifice speed and hp for GREAT power.

Morde has highest AD in game Powerful Q Amazing ult Heals Damage.

His weaknesses: No mobility No cc 2nd worst base hp in game Worst hp regen Terrible attack speed
