I worry for mordekaiser

His rework is coming out soon apparently but I don't think it would be wise of me to get excited over it, the last few reworks have objectively been failures with these champions needing whole mechanics to be ripped out of their kits before they could be considered salvageable for the health of the game with riot having to go as far as to give aatrox a miniature rework a few months after release.

I hope morde doesnt suffer the same fate where is kit is a bloated mess that sees him perma banned/picked until hes summarily gutted and later kept in line with nerfs whenever he sees the light of day like akali is.

Seems odd that the design team has been making champs that have become a nightmare to balance recently when it comes to reworks, especially when you look at something like who is a straight re-imagining of his kit that didnt really do anything to make him problematic.

To be fair, Malicious Metal is giving it his full support last I checked and can't doubt him...

His kit seems hopeful, what I'm worried about is his lore. Riot's writing team is going through a "no true good, no true evil" phase, trying to make the morality of classic League good and evil more complex than it has to be, muddling classic concepts into a messy grey area. They are also EXTREMELY stubborn about this position. I remember one Rioter whike defending this position tried to argue that Darth Vader was not truly, only and objectively evil. This got really annoying with the Kayle and Morg reworked lore.

I like Mord for being almost comically evil, the chaotic evil character you run in DnD without a care in the world. Sometimes it's more fun to keep it that simple. Mord doesn't need an axcuse or deeper reasoning to be evil, hell his concept thrives on being evil for the sake of evil. And this is fine, it's ok to have some characters like this. Sometimes I do want to play grounded, relatable champions with complex moral ambiguity, but sometimes I want to play a champ with massive tits, and sometimes I just want to play as the bad guy. League has room for it all, and I don't want to see the genuin fun of roleplaying evil be stripped away.

last few reworks have objectively been failures

Those were objectively good reworks though? Good Akalis had high winrates, the rest had terrible winrates. People just don't like actually having to land their spells and cried about Obscure because learning how to counterplay something new takes too much effort and they'd rather just complain until Riot cracked. Aatrox actually had a kit that worked in SoloQ and Competitive. Irelia could win lane without having to be a division higher in skill. Meanwhile no one plays Warwick anymore. Let's be real here. He has a lower pickrate than Zac and Wukong. There is a PROBLEM with Warwick, in which case the problem is he's utterly worthless against people with brains.

They'll:

change his W to fit more as a solo laner

take away his AD ratios

change his ult completely

This much is confirmed

I hope his new W has a slow, or his ult has CC, or there's a small dash to target like Illaoi W. I also hope they remake the champion from the ground up so there aren't any bugs. His skins should look less like chromas too (I hope)

He's just a blob of hp right now

i hope they just delete the champ hes so boring in all regards

I hope I am proved wrong, but I do not believe they can create a nice morde kaiser a mage tank (Something like shilien knights in lineage2) that does not suffer from the lack of cc and can be useful in team fights / current state of the game with out being OP nor having glitches / bugs on how he works.

offtopic : I would so much like a yasuo rework seeing the removal of some of his overloaded kit so I do not have to perma ban nor have to end game before 30:00 cause then he will carry if he / his team are descent even when he is 0/12/2

Akali Irelia aren’t failures, just balancing nightmares. They still keep what people loved so much about them in the first place while bringing something new and interesting. Akali kept her shroud, her mobile power, and her empowered auto, Irellia kept her bladesurge, her healing, and her auto attack focused playstyle.

Aatrox is both though, true.

Its gonna be bad. It was bad with galio, yorick, aatrox and urgot. The champion's identity will be removed entirely
