Mordekaiser gets Pet Dragon

Mordekaiser rework is almost here, and he is being changed into a... bot lane ADC replacement? I'm a bit skeptical about this, and i don't like the idea of him being dissuaded from solo-laning, but I will wait to judge until I see the changes.

So, how about that video where he gets to recruit THE DRAGON AS A SPECTRAL SLAVE!?! Now THAT is cool!

I'd like to actually see Riot expand this some. Make it so he can get ghosts of more than just dragon. Give him a ghost of Red/Blue buffs. He can only have one ghost at a time, and if he gets a new one it replaces his previous one. But this would mean Mordekaiser could take the usual ADC buff of Red Buff, and get some damn good pushing power out of it. He could even use it to take early dragons, or push turrets down. Also means that some REALLY silly stuff could happen. Like Jungle Mordekaiser. That would be awesome.

I wonder how this will affect morde in ARAM. He could potentially get massive exp compared to everyone else if his team lets him last hit minions

he won't necessarily be drawn away from solo lanes.

i honestly don't think he'll ever work as a marksman replacement just because of how needed marksmen are in bot lane for objective control

Meanwhile, Skarner gives the enemy free vision control of your jungle if they get ahead... sigh

oh really, And why can't an AD mid lane take his place? We are already seeing Varus in the mid lane, it wouldn't be too difficult to make the ADC go elsewhere. It's not necessarily to remove the ADC as to remove them from the duo lane. And a good chunk of ADC's can go mid, for the same reason you would go with an APC mid. (It's a shorter lane, thus safer)

It would look like the new Mord would want to snowball. If he so much as goes even in lane, he will have an XP advantage over his opponents. Then on top of that, his pet Dragon can Easily snowball into other objectives. Have the dragon tank tower, he has plenty of health.

#RIP MORDE

Only viable as a support now. :/

I think Mordekaiser will probably be given more poke power and less "IN YOUR FACE" power, while still being immobile of course. If they want him down under, they will probably be giving him more sustained ranged damage instead of close range burst. Might also buff his shield to help him against poke, but only maybe. Also, the Dragon ghost is cool since it gives him a ranged attack and, while some may not notice, the ghost is literally Dragon. It has Dragon health, damage, attack speed, and its quicker. Everyone's talking about Mordekaiser being the next "How to Train Your Dragon" while all Im thinking is...

I want Mordekaiser solo lane back!

dragon's auto attacks are going to need to be fixed if morde gets his own dragon

because currently they cant be dodged and they are counted as spells when you have a spellshield or banshee's on you

i hope riot think this through

Wow! Garen finally recieved his ultimate true damage back! Maybe it's only on "villian", but then... IT'S F###### BACK!

Will definitely be a crazy meta coming soon to a League near you!

I have to get better with Syndra and counterpick bottom so i can throw his dragon at him.

There is no dragon on the Howling Abyss (ARAM), Twisted Treeline (3v3) or Dominion (fast and fun). It seems to me that they might balance him around the dragon on SR, which would make him weaker on HA, TT, and Dominion.

Not that I particularly like Mordekaiser anyway, just stating what I think will happen. He'll probably be weaker on TT (due to weaker solo lane and no dragon buff), maybe stronger on ARAM (if the support ability is strong), weaker bot lane Dominion and potentially stronger top lane Dominion.

Well ADC replacements are not new. Cassiopeia is one that can work suprisingly well, since she has the same powercurve as most ADCs.

What worries me is that Mordekaiser falls off late game and can't take towers from range, which are usually the only reasons you need an ADC in your comp.

go the toher direction with his w(make damage stack on auras instead of having to have overlapping auras to do damage, or close proximity)
