These Juggernaut Changes kinda suck overall, but some parts are good

I like the idea, and I think they did well with darius, but Garen was overall nerfed I think, Mordekaiser getting nerfs to his base ms is just a stupid idea, i have no idea why that was even thought of, his e was generally nerfed, because nobody builds AD on mordekaiser, his new passive shield effects are ok, and skarner seems like he will be in a better place after the changes. Garen might be ok because of the itemization. but why the freakin crap is Riot gutting Mordekaiser?!?!? it's not like he's a super strong pick right now, he gets countered easily, he is super immobile(why on earth are they nerfing his base ms, he is already super vulnerable to ganks especially since you basically have to push otherwise you lose cs), you have to build him a little bit tanky, and giving him an AD ratio on his e in return for less base damage is horrid for his trading potential, and besides, what is mordekaiser going to build as a hybrid item besides gunblade? guinsoo's? this is honestly a horrible change for mordekaiser, and i think garen will suffer a little bit too. i mean now he moves 20% slower while moving towards people he's hitting with judgment? what freaking purpose does that serve?!? here, let's get a tanky melee guy who doesn't really do that much damage, and REMOVE some of his sticking power, when all he can really do is run at you in the first place.

TL;DR The mordekaiser changes are horrible. CD reduction on his e is nice, as well as dragon passive on ult, and i think shield changes are ok, but the nerf to his w, base ms, and e are simply unacceptable.

Honestly can we just get rid of the MS gimmick on his w and put that in base ms? give him 350 ms and no movement steroids. why is that so unacceptable?

Just seems like Riot screwing with things that don't need to be messed with again they nerf what doesn't need to be nerfed and buff what doesn't need a buff.

I didn't look very closely at Skarner, but I'd say Darius got the best end of the changes. His new passive gives you 200 AD at max level if you kill a target with max stacks of bleed on them or kill them with ult. You also get 5 seconds to get instant max stacks of bleed on whoever you touch (unsure if it's with auto attacks only or with abilities too), which all adds up to easier pentas. They added a heal (if you hit champions) to his Q (10% missing hp per champion hit, max 30%), but his Q has a wind up time now so that makes a bit harder to land tbh. They also removed the attack speed slow on his W, but other than that he seems pretty alright.

I honestly don't really understand why they changed him because his play style is almost identical to what it is now. Only now it's better in some areas, and worse in others. I guess now you can get more out of building more like a tank/bruiser with the free AD and armor pen, but I'll still probably play Darius almost full AD.

And yeah Garen seems dumpstered.

EDIT: The Lee Singer buffs are likely to make Worlds more interesting, so the viewers can get their Big Dick Plays.

I am with you on your opinion on Darius, he for sure got the long end of the stick. This way he can build tankier, like maybe just hydra and maw for damage then full tank and still do loads of damage.
