There's Vomit In the Coding Already, Morde's Spaghetti. (Funky Mordekaiser Item Interactions)
I hope you like it! This is a remake of my last video, which was the first video I'd ever made. I've tried to take into account all the feedback on the first one, thanks for your support!
Lets all take a moment to appreciate the phenomenal job Rito Games did programing Mordekaiser. Among many thing, he hits himself with Sated devourer, letting him kill himself with on-hits like red buff to refresh red buff’s duration and reset his bounty. Not only that, he can get rich with pickpocket and tribute procs, and heal himself with grasp of the undying. Don’t forget your spectre’s cowl and phantom dancer to reduce the damage you deal yourself while you’re at it. I mean, Just look at all of those icons! 15 of them! How could that not be OP. In all seriousness the spaghetti code is a bit much, all the items that SHOULD synergize well with his Q act really funky, if at all. Lets look at how these item’s function on everyone else.
Let’s start with sated devourer; You’ve seen that on Morde’s Q it makes him hit himself every other attack, but on everyone else it makes every other attack apply on-hit effects twice. This includes letting Xin Zhao’s get off all three of his Q’s in two hits.
Next is Titanic Hydra. Activating Titanic resets the autoattack timer, letting you immediately get another attack off. This lets Xin Zhao get off two Q’s in extremely rapid succession. Because attack modifying abilities, like Xin Zhao’s Q, can’t be canceled you can activate titanic during an attack to reset the timer for the next one, rather than needing to time it at the moment the first attack lands. Uniquely, Mordekaiser can’t reset his Q.
Attack modifying abilities, like Xin’s or Morde’s Qs, are autoattack resets as well. This lets Xin get of a normal attack, activate his Q to immediately attack again, then activate titanic to quickly get off another Q, for a very quick 3 attack combo.
Combine Titanic and Sated, and while you’re at it add a Rageblade because it’s OP, and the 3-hit combo the should look like this, with the knockup and 2k damage in about a 1/2 of a second, and 4k damage in less than 2
For an even faster knockup, drop the first attack and lead with Q.Wow. That was fast. Let's see it again in slow-mo. Uhhh. I still missed it. Frame by frame? Okay, the icon started with the second Q… That was the 3rd q knockup in a single 1/60th second frame. And it only gave 2 stacks on rageblade. Dammit Xin, this Video was supposed to be about Mordekaiser bugs.
Anyway, that’s how Sated and Titanic work for everyone but Mordekaiser, barring some hard to reproduce bug. Riot’s programmers are a bunch of elementary school bullies, and they’ve even stuck him with some other crap too. Because only AD champs are allowed to have good sustain itemization, they coded his Q as AoE so spellvamp is only ⅓ as effective on it, and Rylai’s is only applied for 1 second.
He does have one beneficial item bug on his Q. For some damn reason, Rageblade gives it 3 stacks per swing, which means the third hit always hits at 8 stacks. There’s also one bug that almost makes sense. Quite a few people have reported that his 3rd Q doesn’t apply on-hits, this isn’t true. The spell damage portion of his Q applies before the attack, and if that kills its target like a 3rd Q probably will, there’s nothing for on-hits to apply to.
Rageblade isn’t enough turn his Q into a counterplay free gimmick, not with it’s other bugs. If you’re looking for item interaction cheese though, his ult’s got you covered! It applies spell effects every second for 10 seconds. That’s a long ass slow from Rylai's, 2 or 3 procs of Luden’s echo, and a ton of burn from deathfire touch and Liandry's. I didn’t even have a liandry’s here, Deathfire touch is just brutal, adding over 700 damage to the ult with a 1.92 bonus AD and .77 AP magic damage ratio when continuously proceed for that long.
I’ve been reporting these bugs and his many others since the moment they hit the testing server; Riot has been given every opportunity to fix their code; but that was never their intention. About a month ago, there was a large community uproar, led by the man of steel himself, Malicious Metal, over Riot trying to change Morde’s title from “The Master of Metal” to “The Lord of Death,” which ultimately resulted in Riot changing it to “The Iron Revenant” instead. This entire fiasco was simply a facade for bigger plans; Riot knows Mordekaiser’s defining characteristic is neither metal nor death, and were testing community response in preparation for when when they push hard towards his TRUE theme in his upcoming sion level rework as - The God of Spaghetti.
This is a remake of my last video, to take into account the good feedback I got. I hope you liked it, but if you didn’t, civil criticism is appreciated. Community involvement and support is what keeps me going. If you want to see more videos like this, subscribing or commenting on the LoL forums or the Reddit page for this video is the best way to show it. If I keep getting support, my next video will be about how to Jungle Evelynn and Twitch. Until then, I’ll See you on the Rift, Ladies, Gentlemen, and trolls.
