Can we give Mordekaiser a new ultimate that actually deals damage or gives utility?

This is not even funny at this point.Every melee champ at top either gets Spectre's Cowl which comes with a nice amount of MR,HP and a really nice passive or hexdrinker hell even Negatron Cloak is a really good choice.

I mean did anybody made calculations how much damage actually Mordekaiser's ulti do on the 1st and 2nd lvl?He may as well not even have one. Just a really rough approximation: Opponent has around 2000 hp with around ~100 MR.They bought some hp and MR.Nothing too weird especially with runes and mr/lvl. Let's say you got your nice Rylai there giving you +4% boost to your ulti.

With lvl1 ulti it would deal ~30% max hp without ANY magic resist. But our opponent has some MR which cuts this damage into HALF.Yep -50% damage from the get go which means 15% max HP. Ehh that's 300 damage,sounds good. With the latest changes it will instantly deal 75 damage (instead 150 ). And will deal the remaining 225 over 10 seconds.As always they will pop a potion which heals 150 hp over 15 seconds.So in our case it will heal back 100 hp.This is the potion alone. We have 125 damage(200 so far).They have also hp/regen stat which will further reduce this damage.Bonus point if they bought Spectre's Cowl for 150% hp/regen or hexdrinker for an additional 200 magic damage shield which will completely nullify the ulti damage.

You don't beleive me?Just go into a custom and try it out on a bot or with somebody else how much damage it deals.It's really pathetic. OH also the ghost bonus attack damage has been nerfed too because why not. I won't even talk about the situation when you die once from whatever reason(usually jungler gank) in lane because after that you pretty much lost the lane against a competent player.

I would gladly accept a new ultimate at this point.Can we get one?

Mordekaiser ultimate is the only reason the champion is remotely viable right now.

Well why did it get nerfs then? Also that does not mean there is not a better ultimate for him to make him actually viable. Sure his current one is his "identity" but let's be real his kit is still a mess and probably won't be picked in competetive.

I still blame Malicious Metal for all the Mordekaiser nerfs. Realistically thou, they want to move him away from burst. He'll still play like a burst champion, but they'll try to change it.

Also, Mordekaiser ult is one of the stronger ults in the game. It's right up there with Rumble's. And, if memory serves, wasn't Mordekaiser perma-banned at S5 worlds?

Also Malicious Metal suggested a new ultimate too.Look up his thread. You know goddamn well why he was permabanned at Worlds.Coincidentally after his nerfs his pickrate became one of the worst along with his winrate.

What it lost as instant damage it got back in the DoT which means less front load burst in favor of most constant damage. Also most of enemies won't realize the entity of the damage (I happen to get more ghosts since the change).

Also Morde R does damage in proportion of their max HP so the damage is there already and some magic penetration will be enough to deal with bruisers because bruisers and carries are your target, not the tanks.
