Riot; Morde will be addressed in 5.17

Burnt Iron King··25 votes·1,164 views

Did we say 5.17? We meant 5.18

Oh, our bad, it was 5.19

Erm... 5.20?

Here, take a nerf in 5.21 Done

... We'll address him in the preseason 5.22 and maybe even 5.23

Anyone else feel like we might see actual Morde tweaks somewhere in patch 6.6.6?

I was actually really looking forward to solo lane buffs for him this patch... I was let down.

Deep down, in their huearts, Rito cares about morde.

But they can't get any information on him since he's banned 95% of the time and people cry the other 5%.

Honestly I feel that they are being as careful as possible changing him since any more crap decisions might lead to full scale war with the morde fans. Think Cold War, but with nerfs instead of nukes .__.

No, that would conflict with the scheduling for Teemo's rework.

They claim to balance duo vs solo but its just nerfs to both patch after patch

Morde? Thats why bans are available - Riot logic.

Well, I mean, preseason itemization changes suck for him a LOT. Not sure how masteries would effect him. Some of the modified ADCs also are more than able to wreck him royally.

Morde was nerfed in 5.18. Learn to read patch notes.

I'm sorry, what? They pretty clearly stated that the effects of the nerf to his bonus XP in duo lanes would have to be observed before they could make buffs to his solo lane that wouldn't re-break duo-kaiser.

Removing his EXP bonus from the W passive would gut his duo lane hard enough to justify solo-lane buffs. Due to having to level like the normal marksman, he scales harder in the early-mid than them (in terms of itemization and ability power). Hence, his only choice is to survive the lane and hope to be useful in TFs as melee-carry, like in a solo lane.

I don't know why Riot persists to let this stupid passive. It was a bad decision to actually let him scale harder and faster than the enemy adc. Removing this adventage and let him scale hard, but at the same rate as the enemy carry, will fix his current oppressive state. Honestly, I didn't even notice the W nerf as hard as it should be. Mord scales faster and harder than the enemy carry and that isn't fixed yet.

Patch 6.6.6? I don't know that might conflict not only with the Teemo rework but the Warwick rework as well. BOOM! Well had to slip that one in there couldn't resist.
