*sigh* What happened to Mordekaiser controlling the souls he takes? Riot caters to China Tencent

Honestly they stole a champions identity once again. You see this happen with over half of the reworks Riot has done. This game might as well be League of Legends 2: Riot's atrocities come to life. This design team has no idea how to keep core gameplay elements of a champion.

Being a pet mage made Mordekaiser, Mordekaiser.

Not to mention this new ult is going to be the most snowbally shit, you will get 3 manned, ult one, kill them, then 1v2 no problem with W and the other persons stats.

As a champion who took another's soul and used it for as their own minion in battle, to only taking a portion of their stats is pretty BS.

Not feeling the Yu-Gi-Oh shadow realm, last thing we need is something similar to another Camille ult.

They did a good job with the rest of the abilities, although free 25% pen looks grossly OP. Was he losing vs every tank so they were like band-aid fix?

Riot likes to cater to China and only China now a days.

Ever since Tencent picked up Riot they have been removing all skulls, ghosts, and anything death related from the game. Next thing we will probably lose is twin shadows active. Remember Karthus skull?

You feel the China pressure because of revenue being down, player base being down. Loot boxes, passes, Chinese splash arts, and taking away old Champion identities.. all the power creeped stuff added in game. This isn't the League of Legends we knew and loved when it took off in Season 2.

Maybe if you realized your updates are alienating your player base, you could save your game in the West.

Hey mate, do you even know how long ago Tencent has had the majority share of Riot games?

I dont think they removed his identity at all. Most people agree that the soul thing didn't fit his identity. Mordekaiser was known for being a terrifying wraith who pressured his indomitable will unto others. A warlord destroying all in his path and taking their souls for his own power. Not a necromancer that could bend the will of souls. And they didnt remove skulls and ghosts and anything death related. His new ult is literally taking people to "The Death Realm".

Oh no, they don't want to offend one of the biggest market in the world, where the most skilled players come from. https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/027/475/Screen_Shot_2018-10-25_at_11.02.15_AM.png

You realize that the majority Morde's chest cavity is exposed and we can see his rib cage, right?
