So Riot changed Mordekaiser's roles to "Marksman and Fighter" from "Fighter and Mage"

What's the reasoning behind that? Does he auto attack alot just because of his Q?

Just them trying to cover up their burial.

more like trying to hastly throw a body in a hole and are to lazy to put earth over it.

that´s them not understanding their own marksmen concept...but no, he´s not a ranged champ relaying on auto-attacks (at least till his next rework).

KeevalroyDec 21, 201513 votes

They're desperately trying to force this so they don't have to admit the rework was a failure. Which it was.

riot still thinks that champions with no gapclosers or cc can kill anything with basic attacks, because apparently it's still 2009

if morde is a marksman then so are Tryn, Yi, Yas, Aatrox, shako, Ect.

Ariel the CruelDec 21, 20156 votes

Except their definition of "marksman" was a ranged auto-attacker. Introduced to differentiate them from melee auto-attackers. Both of which fall under "ADC".

That's why Mord is a marksman and they're not. His Auto attacks have 600 range. . . . Wait. . .

next yasuo will be a marksman and corki will be a mage

Malicious MetalDec 21, 20156 votes

This is an outrage! He's primarily a fighter and NOT a damn Marksman -.-

Malicious MetalDec 21, 20156 votes

Congratulation you just reached level 5 Pathfinder with Mordekaiser....<

Is this a joke? Are you serious?

CatSithDec 21, 20153 votes

When did they change his roles? because last time i checked they didn't. Lol

FYI Marksmen is exclusive to Ranged champions only.

DJ S0NADec 21, 20153 votes

Sorry for the late reply, but they changed in the PBE. His primary role is Marksman and secondary is Fighter.

CatSithDec 21, 20151 votes

I already checked the current pbe changes and that still isn't in it.

DJ S0NADec 21, 20156 votes

Here is a screen from the PBE: http://i.imgur.com/BGgQlva.jpg The patch at the top is 6.1.etc

Edit: Here's another in the champ select when I type marksman: http://i.imgur.com/h28RBbS.png

I guess if they wanted to swap out 'Marksmen' with 'Striker' where a striker is an auto-attack focused sustained damage guy that could work.

Because D&D is fun.

It is because bot lane is seen as marksmen in team builder. So he is top lane and bot lane. Fighter and Marksmen.

viridianArcanistDec 21, 20152 votes

I think it's supposed to help with people that want to play him on the current version of Teambuilder. Since most people will put Bot Lane: Marksman and Bot Lane: Support, it might help him be picked more there. Not entirely sure that he will be picked more though.

Ariel the CruelDec 21, 20151 votes

Then you play Mord and queue as a "marksman". Has nothing to do with how Riot labels him.

MortekaiserDec 21, 20152 votes

when can I just have my old morde back

JustMyBassCannonDec 21, 20151 votes

He's still Fighter/Mage, I have no idea from where you're drawing the "change."

I demand a source.

NechroniaDec 21, 20154 votes

It's on the pbe.

JustMyBassCannonDec 21, 20151 votes

Still lacking a source

Riot doesn't even know what to do with Mordekaiser anymore

Artificial HumanDec 21, 20151 votes

Inb4 his mace can transform into a gun, Jayce 2.0.

creatureplexJan 15, 20161 votes

Again his aa has 600 range that's what makes him a marksman, same reason why teemo is yes you don't normally see it but they felt that Mordekaiser was more of a marksman than a mage so they changed it happens all the time get used to it I have a huge prediction that you are going to start seeing a lot more Mordekaiser bot because riot just made it part of the meta and he can prosper there, at first it was trolling now it's normal bring it on I just don't know what support I would use to sup him I guest if all out fails Thresh is the go to one for me.
