Morde's new Ultimate should probably be re-thought

So, I really love the new movement of , but his ultimate is looking to be the most degenerate ultimate in the game.(If diplomatic immunity were still around, it'd be hard to say which is worse.) So his ultimate is terrifying in regards to the solo top-lane matchup.

#1: If you win lane as , then you can just tower dive the enemy...who doesn't have a tower to help him in the duel. That's going to create a lot of bad gameplay.

#2: If you win lane as , then you can't be ganked. I can push under the enemy tower, see the enemy jungler ganking just press R against the laner that I'm beating up and just walk away. (Worse, you can potentially get ganked then just kill the laner or jungler by pressing R...and then go back to whichever 1v1 is left.)

#3: If enemy team has a fed or something and a teamfight breaks out Morde just wins the teamfight by pressing R on Kog'maw and then just to make sure he buys as much time as possible for his team.

#4: If gets caught out by the enemy team he can just press R and walk away(often after picking up a free kill) like nothing happened.(Most of the time, this i not particularly degenerate but in combination with the other usages it's stupid.)

#5: How do you secure a baron when the enemy jungler is up...easy, press R on their jungler yay!!!)

Alright [slayer-jinx-catface] have fun on the rift.

Diplomatic immunity is worse. Poppy could Drop any target not just who she Rd and it looks like Morde will have a shorter cast range then she did.

False. Towers exist in all planes simultaneously so no you can't tower dive the enemy "for free". You'll still take tower agro.

2: If you win lane as , then you can't be ganked. I can push under the enemy tower, see the enemy jungler ganking just press R against the laner that I'm beating up and just walk away. (Worse, you can potentially get ganked then just kill the laner or jungler by pressing R...and then go back to whichever 1v1 is left.)

True when he is ganked he can simply choose the jungler or the top and duel said player. Though morde nor the enemy can escape the realm until one dies OR the duration expires. Also the other teammate can see both souls moving on the field so the remaining play just has 2 follow the dots. This may b risky because u cant see in the plane and they cant see out to see spells used.

3: If enemy team has a fed or something and a teamfight breaks out Morde just wins the teamfight by pressing R on Kog'maw and then just to make sure he buys as much time as possible for his team.

Yes this man does have the Click r to remove a carry from a teamfight. this is the only thing hes useful for when behind. But this has counterplay. it can b QSSed (during his channel to pull you into the realm). I'm unsure if you can cancel it with an hourglass though.

4: If gets caught out by the enemy team he can just press R and walk away(often after picking up a free kill) like nothing happened.(Most of the time, this i not particularly degenerate but in combination with the other usages it's stupid.)

Answered this in the 2nd bulletin when u talked about ganking. Same applies here just hes in a worse spot. if morde chases the enemy he ults the enemy will just collapse when hes out or they just follow mordes dot.

5: How do you secure a baron when the enemy jungler is up...easy, press R on their jungler yay!!!)

True this can potentially work.

I think the ultimate is a decent idea, I just think its a bad idea on morde. Lore wise it themeaticaly works(I guess, death realm yada yada souls yada yada whatever). But it doesn't suit his gameplay theme. Hes a AoE frontliner, his use is maximized on multiple targets, not on single targets. I just feel like they shudda went a different route and reserved something like this for either Nocturne or Pantheon.

Hes not a duelist. I don't get it. I feel like they just came up with a new mechanic and were like "yep just do that".
