mordekaiser support?

siilentdeath··1 votes·1,277 views

the other day i had a guy say support and lock in mordekaiser. after looking at his Q,W,E and R. i do not see how he is a support. aside from a speed boost. i see no setup potential at all . not a slow,stun,barrier, heal or knock up. not to mention in bronze whenever i get a player that locks in support with annie, xin and a pick like mordekaiser they dont ward and steal kills from me as the adc. based on all the stuff i have seen in bronze i cant trust non support champions in the support role. most every sona, soraka, braum or leona support i get buy wards and plays like a support. id like to say my win loss in games with a defined proven support is way better than that of my record with crap like XinZhao . so can anyone show me a video or explain to me how in the hell Mordekaiser is a support? getting really tired of people in bronze that any champion is a great support. by that logic i can say that cait is a great support or maybe even graves.

Mord has been gutted. He won't make sense for a while. Also his w heals . It's so stupid but I have a few ideas to fix it though :http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/iXf7Qmhp-riot-where-is-the-post-release-support-you-wanted-to-provide-for-mordekaiser?comment=000c00000000 Please check it out! :)

He is not a Support. People are just fucking stupid and assume he is a Support because Riot wants him to duo lane.

He's not. people are dumb.
New morde players ie. ( didn't know he existed prior to this experiment). Think he's a good support. He's a replacement ADC. And not even good at that

Mordekaiser has been changed to function in a duo lane.

However, he was made to substitute for the ADC (with another champion supporting him) and isn't meant to be a support.

You are likely running into people who can't be bothered to read patch notes or don't actually understand his changes.

Admittedly, I think Relic Shield is his recommended starting item (since it lets him share gold with and heal his lane partner), so that may be contributing to the confusion.

Bro, it's CertainlyT, the designer responsible for the bot lane abomination that is Kallista.

The issue with CertainlyT is that he has often has amazing ideas for champions, I just think he needs someone to reign them and make them more practical. Also, I get the sense that he's never liked Morde as a champion.

That's the crux of this matter, I don't think someone who isn't passionate about a champion should be at the helm of that champs rework. This rework feels soulless and methodical. CertainlyT says that based on his opinion Morde can never be balanced in solo lane so let's intensify those weaknesses and shove him into bot lane. Instead of changing Morde's kit to keep him solo and retain his identity, he went with doing something that seemed more "cool" and less functional. Which would have been okay if there was open discussion.

CertainlyT hasn't said a word to defend or support the Morde changes since they've gone live.
