since i managed to get into the top10 high elo morde mains of EUW OPGG

and i know that i'm going to lose him as an adc which is what feels bad

ADC Morde is the reason i otp him, when i'm mordekaiser botlane and destroys everything and carry the game 2v8 i just feel superior to everyone because i'm playing a melee botlane unlike in 95% of league's game

nothing feels better than refusing to pick one of the 18 necessary champion in the game, and still win and this feeling will probably disappear if morde gets reworked into solo top

Meddler said that the VGU team is discussing about if morde duolane mechanics have to disappear or not well of course i hope not, because i main adc morde

but there is one thing that makes ADC Mordekaiser feeling bad to play, one thing that i dislike

i have no fcking other option to play than adc morde

Mordekaiser has his own niche: -enable divers -steal passive of enemy teams with ult -counters divers/assassins by tankiness+healing an ally against them

but what happens if nothing of this is here to give him a good game? i still play morde cus i have no other choises, no other bruisers are playable bot right now and i'm bad at adc, i can only play jhin

I envy ADC mains like My Final Hour who mains ADC Morde, but also vayne and cait and other champions so if morde is not a good option, they can just pick an other marksmen

Point of this thread: if mordekaiser duo lane mechanics remain for the sake of the VGU Team i just hope that you make other bruisers viable botlane, to give us mordekaiser mains more options

feel free to post your potential candidates, i personally think darius and gangplank are potential candidates

Do you think Morde would work if he didn't have bonus exp?

On weird champions that I actually played bot, not counting mages:

  • Yasuo already has the itemization and counters range.
  • Rengar is always fun in lane
  • Jayce
  • Gangplank
  • Graves he's in the bruiser group now
  • Katarina

XP passive isn't the reason morde is played bot, XP passive is just a strength

it's something that in lane allows you to get 1 more level than enemy adc for a short duration and then you should be using this short during to fight and get an advantage

later in the game it doesn't do anything

he's not a bruiser, but yes he can Riot is working to make him more countering ranged champions, while being countered by melee champions might force him into the botlane/midlane instead of top

+1 for lane variety, but I'm left with a few questions.

While I am all for increasing variety of playable champions in any one lane, isn't being the sole viable botlane bruiser part of Mordekaiser's identity? Wouldn't that be taking away his niche?

I mean, he's glitchy, with severe low points if the game goes sour, right?

Then if another, better functioning Juggernaut with more utility when behind were to become viable, wouldn't that merely result in pushing Morde out from the lane as well?

morde going bot is not a niche

when you ask yourself "why pick morde" the answer is not "because he can go bot" morde's niche are listed above

If I think Morde the first thing that comes to mind is "6v4" "Insane shield" "Melee carry" and not "Bot laner". His niche isn't being a bot lane oddity.
