I'd like for Riot to start starts using the Main class, Subclass and Role. Something like this:

Bard Class: Mage Subclass: Utility Role: Support Mordekaiser
Class: Fighter Subclass: Juggernaut Role: Carry MasterYi class: Fighter Subclass: Light Fighter Role: Assasin Shen class: Fighter Subclass: Juggernaut Role: Tank

Interesting, if you get the time to do this for every champion it might get pretty far!

I'd like to see what champions like maokai and sion are though, because at the very least, I don't think they are fighters.

Blue Moon Wolf1 votes

I'm not to sure about Maokai. I would say he's a bursty mage tank, but I would have to find out from one of his mains to make sure so I don't wind up butchering his class. As for Sion (If I remember correctly from listening to his mains), he is a juggernaut since he can deal damage and take hits like Garen or Darius, which makes him the tankiest subclass of fighter. Though for his role he would be a Tank since he has a some good CC to boot. If I'm correct, this is how they would look:

Maokai Class: Mage Subclass: Burst Role: Tank

Sion Class: Fighter Subclass: Juggernaut Role: Tank

Sion seems about right. (I do main him :P ), but maokai... I don't know..,

Does Jungle Maokai get Runic Echos?

No, he gets Cinderhulk

His Ultimate is a Tanking Ultimate too.

He's better in longer, drawn out fights.

Class: Mage Subclass: Tankier than a Juggernaut, More damage than a tank Role: Tank-Initiator

Yea, that was the problem I ran across. From what I saw, each class has 3 subclasses. But when I looked at Tank and some others, the had none. I could come up with subclasses for tanks (like HP tankTahmKench, Armor/MR tankTaric/Galio and Damage dealing tankVolibear), but as for as I know, subclasses for tanks don't officially exist. I assumed since Maokai is listed as a secondary mage and he seemed a bit bursty against him, just with more CC and protection than damage, a burst mage who is the tank in a fight might have covered him. I haven't played him much, hence why I was hesitant to say for sure.

Sion is a tank, not a juggernaut.

I'm fairly certain it's a recent source. I don't remember which Rioter it was, but they said if he were a Juggernaut he'd probably be more AA based and not have the knockup on Q, nor his ult engage.

Imagine being against that team in ranked 0_o

Temperanze2 votes

And who is your AD carry in there? Afaik, LeBlanc is AP, Fizz as well, so they should be both mid and top respectively, and Teemo is better played AP and most people told me not to play him ADC.

Le Blanc can ADC of course!

Mordekaiser

Fixed it for you.

Remlap122316 votes

Raid Boss Mordekaiser skin. The top lane version of Battle Boss Blitzcrank.

Malicious Metal4 votes

Riot pls!

Morde does need some "fun" skins though and an arcade skin would be a great choice seeing that he lacks a skin with a bright color pattern.

SettDownShutUp2 votes

So, what would his mace be, a giant joystick broken off?

Malicious Metal7 votes

Probably.

I'm actually sketching some less serious Mordekaiser skins. Candykaiser with a lollipop mace and wrapped candy W and Superb villain Mordekaiser with suit and twirly mustache

SettDownShutUp2 votes

... No. Just... just no.

Malicious Metal4 votes

Okay, how about Fullmetal Mordekaiser?

SettDownShutUp3 votes

That's kind of already 'him'. Why not Battlecast Mordekaiser?

Bonus points if they can figure out how to put mind-control helmets on enemy champions for the Glory of the Evolution using his Ult.

Isn't Battlecast reserved for void creatures?

Isn't Battlecast reserved for void creatures?

No, from what I can tell it is reserved for just monster type champions, skarner isn't a voidling and urgot isn't one either but since most voidlings look like monsters they generally get them because of this

xerath got a battlecast skin too

We don't talk about that one.

If you ever needed more proof that Riot have absolutely no fucking idea what to do with Mordekaiser...

Bârd6 votes

Idk man,

I think it would have been pretty funny if they had made a skin where he wields a rifle, but since he doesn't know how to use one, he just wields it like a club.

10Tickler5 votes

Gunner Mordekaiser Give him Digital camouflage and Ceramic Armor plating His weapon is the main Gun off of a M1 Abrams Little Blasts on each Q proc, getting bigger Field of Boom on the E W is colored Green, cuz tank

Critmaster Garen5 votes

isnt he still secondary marksman?

either way, that was really dumb. no idea who came up with that idea. someone probably thought it would help new players understand that hes suppsoed to be played in a duo lane position.

but thats the wrong way to go about it. instead they should try and teach people that bot lane doesnt belong to the adc, and work more on giving other classes of champions access to bot lane.

especially with marksmen being able to jungle and solo lane now, there is no real reason to enforce the adc/support duo lane anymore.

time to work on allowing mages and fighters to lane with a support without getting poked to shit.

Nope, his only tag's Fighter.^^

Sion And here I sit, with the magnificent title of "Brute".

Sion's not a brute! He's a refined gentleman.

And that's why I'm upset.

Sion: Timothy, might you please prepare my iron boot, I plan on socializing tonight and I must have on my best attire. Bones don't crack themselves, you know.

Butler Timothy: Yes master Sion. Shall I whet your axe as well?

Sion: No, that's quite alright, I plan on doing so myself this evening.

Butler Timothy: Do you remember what happened last time sir?

Sion: Yes yes Timothy, but the peasant in that village refused to acknowledge my rank. It mustn't be my fault that I disposed of the cultureless swines.

Butler Timothy: Very well sir.

Only Play Darius1 votes

But isn't he still a mage secondary?

Also I want to have a game with botlane Mord kaiser just for old times sake (although it must be pretty bad since I never see anyone try it anymore)

Maximum Morde2 votes

It still works. It just isn't as dominating at it was upon first release. I tend to only use it into melee heavy enemies, and when Im near last pick so I know the enemy bot isn't something like Janna + Cait that I'll never get near.

LankPants4 votes

I feel the main reason people don't play him is because a melee fighter bot is just sub-optimal. It's a different story when he's broke off his arse, but for the most part he's just incredibly clunky and hard to fit to a team as a bot laner.

The Lexer1 votes

Do you check this everyday or somethin?

Malicious Metal7 votes

I play Morde a lot, I notice these kinds of details.
