Red Post Collection: Origin of the Wharf Rat, Wrekz designer on next champion, Scruffy on Mordekaiser, and more!

The most vocal designer @Repertoir & Scruffy have finally come out to address the mess their colleague spearheaded. Nowhere in this article does CertainlyT say anything only mentioned as being "Innovative" which seems to be a synonym for creative, but doesn't function (aka not innovative). This smell like huge damage control luckily it seems like Repertroir and Scruff has the drive and acumen to get the job done. Hey anyone in Santa Monica check your nearest rehab or suicide prevention centers you might find CerainlyT lol.

All jokes aside I wish CertainlyT well and hopefully everyone on both sides of the table learns from this. More importantly going silent regardless of the circumstances when its your job is not the best route to take. Thanks Scruffy Thanks Repertoir thanks the designer formerly known as CertainlyT? Then again I bet there will be some awesome Mordekaiser skins coming down the pipe to "quell" the chaos. #SkinsWins

"Its a really crazy task"

They say it like he is supposed to be down there in the first place. Why are they even putting him down there? Why aren't they just making a new champion to try out that concept? Instead of butchering something.

"We will be listening when this hits live"

I am 99.9% sure that the only changes they will end up making are nerfs and buffs, rather than scrapping the whole idea of him being bot lane.

"Morde isn't healthy in solo lane"

THEN FIX IT. WHY TRY TO PUT HIM INTO A DUO LANE? YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE IT WORK.

"Dragon Ghost"

I just think this part is silly. Its so out of place.

What they fail to realize is that the reason they keep running into these problems is due to the fact that their entire system is broken and in order of a champion wide nerf. To me there never seems to be any real communication between champion conception. Someone has a cool idea people vote and they produce it. After various iterations we start seeing these ideas take on out of control identities and then the game just gets out of whack and usually that champ gets the ban hammer.

My issue with Morde was that he was never OP the only reason he fluctuates back and forth is due to Riot's lack of care when it comes to itemization, particularly item retirement. Morde "shined" during the days of Force of Nature and DFG. He is one of the most blatant champions that is so heavily reliant on items to support his kit and until they figure that out and design away around that this is the crap we are going to get. SO now we compound this that he is now champion reliant.

Its a giant mess, but hey thats INNOVATIVE... -_-

Part of the problem is CertainlyT doesn't care what the community thinks. He's going to tell you the changes he's going to make and does it. I truly hope the rework flops harder than Fantastic Four and blows up in their faces so they realize they can't mess with the source material.
