Mordekaiser Feedback

Bârd·May 30, 2019·1 votes·1,150 views

Stats

335 movement speed, halle-fucking-lujah.

His base armor went up from 25 (+3.75) to 39 (+4). That's... big.

I like how his AD is still high, so items like Steraks and Triforce can still theoretically be a good purchase.

Passive

I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I always feel like "ok any second now it's going to pop and I'll get a heal".

Q

Not much to say here. It's a solid spell, feels nice, but nothing too special.

W

Morde's new shield mechanic is fine... I'm just not sure it's better than Iron Man was.

I'd advise changing Indestructible's shielding component to be a passive effect like on live, and have it only have a single active effect in the heal. That's pretty unlikely though.

Since that's probably not gonna happen, something else that could use changing is what you get from leveling it. Putting points into this spell just feels kinda bad. It's a great value point, but each extra point only gives 2.5% healing and 1 second off the CD.... oh boy.

E

Beautiful.

R

Being able to QSS it isn't very metal.
Additional ranks only decrease the CD, so it feels bad putting more points in it.
Stat stealing feels like a kinda lame reward. I know you aren't going to give us the ghost back, but that would be pretty metal. Having the victim's portrait just seems to be rubbing in how cool a ghost would be.

I'm very sad they're removing his hybrid scaling. Due to the removal of his reliable shielding/healing (now on a 10 second CD), I had hoped gunblade + death's dance + spirit's visage could make up for this. Limiting builds is always sad, and even moreso when they kept other champion's hybrid scalings like Kayle and Akali.

I'm also concerned that his waveclear is going to be far too weak now.

Also, his damage seems awful. I haven't played him yet, but current level 1 Mordekaiser W outdamages max rank everything in his kit, and he only has 2 damage spells in total.

He LOOKS fantastic, but I'm truthfully fearing he won't be very good.

EDIT: I also hate that his Q is quickcast and can't be changed like Karthus Q. Can we please normal cast his Q?

Not sold on the voice yet. Sounds like Nautilus.

Maybe it'll grow on me.

Also, his ult reduces the target's HP by 10%, which can be considered a damaging spell IMO.

I was thinking the same thing about the voice. Nautilus or Hecarim, just sounds like they're trying too hard. I like Mordekaiser's voice, just needed more lines.

Here's my honest feedback after playing a number of games as and against Mordekaiser. Everything is great except his ult. Let me elaborate... his ult is super fun and game-changing for the Morde player. To everyone else in the game it's at best lame and forgettable, and worst it's cancer (if you're the one getting ulted). The problem is, there's no counter play to it. There's no way to get away from him, there's no way to kill him, there's no way to beat him. Game after game, even when I was beating him in lane, if you get ulted, you just have to run around in a circle trying to dodge Qs (good luck since he has a perma-speed boost) until you die). And multiple times I came to help a teammate that was dueling Morde, and then he just ults my teammate and I have to.... sit around following a little red blur for about 10 seconds hoping there will be something to rescue at the end (usually not). Not very exciting. Not very interesting. In fact, it approaches game-ruining, in my opinion. It's this great thrill when you're Morde and you basically get a free 1v1 where you have every possible advantage, but if you're not Morde, it's frustrating and not counterable at all. Although I loved the idea at first, I really think the ult needs to go... it just has no place in a team game.
