KnIghtfall 3200 Gold http://leaguecraft.com/assets/images/icons/spells/spell_284.jpg +60 AP +30 AD +400 HP

Unique passive; Touch of Evil: Mordekaiser's abilities apply a slowing effect 30% Slow on his basic abilities, 20% on his ultimate DoT and Clones

They managed to balance every Rylais user by changing the item and giving Mordekaiser his own crutch, the Murder Emperor's Scepter, keeping him viable until his future VGU

Everyone was happy

THE END

But then CertainlyT came out from his skull fortress across the way and made the item only function in bot lane.

Fuck you bot laners, you go top and pester the Gnar

I'll just 1v2!

And so the legend of the iron botlane was born.

Update from 2017 - all duo lanes go top to avoid getting rekt by Mordekaiser

No clearly he will make the passive so that it steals movement speed rather than reduce, then you end up with a busted usian mord.

LauchmelderOct 14, 201612 votes

I'm fairly sure he'd slap a 3 hit passive on top of that.

I mean, he already kind has a 3-hit thing going for him.

RalanrOct 14, 20161 votes

That's gypsielord.

He meant the Mace of Spades.

Three hit K.O

Won't nobody mention the fact that the passive's name's a Metal reference as well? :D

Why not just give mordekaiser slow as a passive on his ult ?

MordepoolOct 14, 20164 votes

I hope it has a easy build path because it seems all Mordes Synergy items require a huge combination cost

Malicious MetalOct 14, 201649 votes

It builds out of Pain, Suffering and Torment.

All commonly found in SoloQ

RalanrOct 14, 201613 votes

And the gameplay boards. Which is a fucking mine.

Malicious MetalOct 14, 201616 votes

Why do you think do I dwell on these parts of the boards? :^)

RalanrOct 14, 20164 votes

So much makes sense now.

KoKobotoOct 14, 20164 votes

CLARITY item 3147 unique passive is called Nightfall, gonna confuse EVERYONE

I'm wondering why Mordekaiser doesn't have a deathmark like ability

Malicious MetalOct 14, 201614 votes

That's why I renamed it "KNIGHTfall" HUE!

I know the way out.

Raid Boss MordeOct 14, 20163 votes

BUT WAIT... what is Morde using as a weapon before he buys this item?

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20169 votes

Nightfall of course

This is KNIGHTfall :^)

Raid Boss MordeOct 14, 201618 votes

I can just imagine it now! Mordekaiser dual wielding maces! WE NEED A CINEMATIC OF THIS

Mistress MadokaOct 15, 20163 votes

Suddenly I'm imagining Mordekaiser as Berserker Lancelot in Fate/Zero

rtbf225618241Oct 14, 20163 votes

Yea because Rylai is only made for Mordekaiser.

.....

The champion needs a rework not special itemization unless they make a Mordekaiser-only item similar to Viktor and Kalista.

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20168 votes

He's balanced 101% around it.

So if it's going to be no longer available to him he'll be garbage.

They can change Rylais as much as they want as long as Morde gets his crutch.

VallalanOct 14, 20161 votes

they aren't going to remove it altogether. Mordekaiser will definitely be nerfed as they hit the slow without a doubt.

but I predict they will give some champs who are super reliant on it some compensation buffs. Like some champs like viktor won't get buffed but I suspect mordekaiser will be.

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20165 votes

The thing is; They either just nerf the slow and AP, which would provide an easier way to just give Morde some more MS or other small buffs

They make it a mana/cdr item and Morde won't be able to build it anymore.

This is a suggestion if case B will be chosen over A

VallalanOct 14, 20161 votes

really doubt they make it a mana/cdr item. my guess is they straight up nerf slow and health. the slow is the biggest problem with it. the slow is simply too strong.

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20162 votes

Meddler mentioned the possibility of the CDR/MANA option. This is just trying to pick their mind if they do decide to go that way

AlleoOct 14, 20163 votes

What if they gave rylais 2 build paths like Hydra?

KnalxzOct 14, 20162 votes

Please don't call it Knightfall, that's one of my trigger words after playing Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Why do you want to have a champion that has no innate cc, get cc from an item? What if that was given to a Yasuo with a specific item...

Opposing Wind 75 AD 30% Crit Unique passive: Opposing wind: Yasuo's targets face strong opposing wind currents when hit with your AAs and/or abilities, slowing them for 30% for 2 seconds.

How broken would that be? It would be quite broken, wouldn't it? Or give a similar item to a Zed/Talon/Rengar/Kha'zix... Zed and Talon have no innate cc, ok, zed has a mild slow that only applies on his shadowed E and only for 1.5 seconds, Imagine Zed and talon have an item that slows you indefinitely for as long as they damage you, imagine that on Talon's bleed. Imagine that on a Darius, a JUGGERNAUT that's supposed to be slow and kiteable. Imagine that on him, his bleed lasts for a LONG time, and each hit or Q refreshes it, imagine getting hit by 1 stray Q, you are then doomed. Or, even worse, imagine this item on Draven Crippler's Axe 75 AD 30% crit Unique passive: 20% lifesteal Unique passive: Draven't AAs and Spinning axes slow targets hit for 40% for 2 seconds Imagine a draven with that thing building crit, IE-PD-ER and that. Try to even fight that. Or give a similar item to a Vayne and try to fight her.

Mordekaiser DOESN'T have an innate cc, iirc he never had cc. There is a reason for that. If you don't agree with it, you should probbably rethink your priorities and why you main him. If you haven't mastered his kit in way that allows you to play him effectively with his kit as it is and you revolve around a particular ITEM to make him viable, you never had your main, you never even mained him truly.

If you main a champion and dedicate to a point that your name itself in game reflects it, and you can't play that champion with their kit alone without depending on a particular item to win, you never master the champion, you only like that champion because of how he interacts with items, not because their kit and concept is thrilling for you to play and master.

JorenciceOct 15, 20162 votes

Lol. Isnt malicious metal one of the best morde players in the world?

And yet your telling him how to play his main... and what woukd be best for said main...

(If he isnt shrug)

Malicious MetalOct 15, 20165 votes

Well, 74th Morde Worlds currently. Diamond 4

Take it or leave it

Malicious MetalOct 15, 20165 votes

If you had ANY idea of Mordekaiser you would know that he's literally the only champion who relies 100% on ONE item to succeed. Ask any Mordekaiser player, they're all going to tell you the same thing.

100% of Morde players rush Rylais as their first item, the champion NEEDS it due to having literally no inherent CC to fulfill his job as a frontline Juggernaut. His entire rework was based around him being able to build it, that's why his MS was GUTTED to 325

Maybe you'd understand if you played him for at least three games. Not everyone can have the amounts of mobility like your precious Zed and Yasuo.

So next time before you open your mouth and spew words without even having any idea about what you're talking about get some context and information on the champion.

Good day!

Photos of GhostsOct 15, 20162 votes

Herp I played him like 20 times and maybe built it half the time

MordepoolOct 15, 20162 votes

Did you lose Half the time you played him

VasilisGreenOct 15, 20162 votes

The fact that he has no inherent cc was the whole point of what i said. He is a juggernaut, he is supposed to be slow. If Rito thought that he needed cc, they'd give it to him in his kit somewhere...

Although rito does many stupid things with reworks... why would they even rework morde to be played in the bot lane to begin with.... but that's not something anyone can do anything about, Rito is who decides...

So next time before you open your mouth and spew words without even having any idea about what you're talking about get some context and information on the champion.

Good day!

That passive aggressive ending tho, it cracks me up. Chill dude, you aren't impressing anyone with that "tough" persona. Be nice and civilized and leave the aggression for your real life where you can actualy do something about it, noone is afraid of keyboard warriors.

PennsOct 14, 20161 votes

Im fine with the item as long as you change the name. I want that on an ap assassin item Fizz item 3070

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20165 votes

Nightfall's the name of Morde's Mace! D:

MordepoolOct 14, 20161 votes

Frankly the HP is about 200hp low in my opinion

And I don't really like Morde being a Hybrid especially a AD focused Hybrid with zero Itemization

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20162 votes

Subject to change^^

Hell, this would be THE best possible way to balance Rylais.

They wouldn't have to bother ruining Morde and could balance it in regards to every other champion seeing that nobody relies 100% on it

Over InnsmouthOct 14, 20161 votes

In all seriousness, Morde is the only Rylais-Requirer that also uses AD. It's a bit unfair to make other R-R's buy a stat they don't use.

Malicious MetalOct 14, 20167 votes

That's why it's unique to him!

Heck, even the passive specifies it!

Bloodsphere http://static.ichengzi.com.cn/youxitai/images/2012/heros/darius/jn1.png +80 AP +300 HP +10% CDR Unique passive; Icy vein: Vladimir's spells apply a 30% slow to his enemies

Better?
