Morde's Dragon Ghost is a Boosted Animal. Riot please correct it'

TheKingofEloHell··53 votes·4,774 views

I have played one champ for over 6 and a half years. That champ is Mordekaiser. Through the years I learned a lot about objective control and how to make Morde's kit work in ways many people have never considered. More than any of his spells- Morde's Ult has been instrumental in the plays I'm able to make. For the first time ever I even got my main account to Diamond last night. It felt good ya know?

Mordekaiser's ult allows you to enslave an enemy unit or even the Dragon for 45, 60 and 75 seconds as maxed. When Morde secures a Ghost he can waste it tanking a tower- but I try to make the most of those seconds. Morde Ghost can:

But more than anything- my staple go to play is the Dragonfall gank at lvl 6 from top to bot.

THIS is how it normally works assuming I can get teammates on board for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSpS96dRtOo

With the birth of Dragon Ghost nearly 8 months ago during Morde's rework- there came a targeting issue Morde mains had never experienced. Riot gave us a ghost that disobeyed orders.

This is an example of what it used to look like- not extreme- but still dislikeable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Xu1r6DonA

Two patches ago Riot made what we had thought was going to finally be the Targeting Ai fix. Screenshot related: https://gyazo.com/66137bf6a3562a8b5601e8008d4ce5f0

After this patch- Dragon got far worse. Now he compeltely shuts down and ignores all orders if attacked by a tower. Never experienced this before and now I have seen it in multiple games. When I teleport bot for Drg it's not to secure Drg- it's for that chancy but high reward dbl kill I might snag if the play goes correctly upon diving bot. When that play doesn't work out I lose 2 levels of exp top and even if I was winning the lane it's becomes hard o comeback.

The video linked in the title is how Morde's Dragon Ghost behaves now.

Riot. It's time for a Hueart to Hueart. A Morde main does not and will never need a ghost that 'thinks'. After years of microing I accumulated all 8 badges and am capable of telling Charizard wtf he needs to do. I'm asking you to create an Ai that hears an order and obeys. I want a ghost that responds to all my commands. Hell it would be nice to have a ghost that can kill wards too ya know? But that's asking too much. Just please give me back my Dragonfall dives. I spent a lot of time theorycrafting new Morde and making him my own again. Please do not punish the one tricks.

I just learned of this issue the hard way when it denied me two kills in my lastranked game. Bugs are never a good thing, especially not on some of Morde's most important abilities.

Congratz on getting Diamond with the Metal man. Welcome to the club of non-metal Division Mordekaiser mains, Brother^^

Riot hasn't been great with patching up bugs as of lately.

Yasuo's bug where he can get two free autos after his ult. Vayne's bug where she can tumble over JarvanIV's wall. AurelionSol's bug where his ability / passive was invisible, causing a team in LCS to remake game. Khazix's bug where he could literally jump off the map.

Now Mordekaiser's bugged where his ghost Dragon goes full derp.

Riot please sort your crap out. This is terrible guys.

I think that yasuo bug might be intended. The vayne being able to tumble through j4 cataclysm is for sure intended, its on some really old patch notes

vayne tumble is not intended to be able to go through walls, which is what j4's ult is

khazix bug was fixed long ago so thats completely irrelevant

Oh I know, but it was still a bug. Throughout Season 6, they had multiple bugs which didn't get fixed for quite some time, while others were looked into, thanks to people pointing them out. It just surprises me that Riot would let some slip despite they have people on the PBE whom test champs / everything out before a patch is released to the public you know?

actually the sol bug wasnt his passive turning invisible. form what i heard it was appearing in random bushes if you lost sight of him but his passive was still outside the fog of war

Pretty sure it's not a bug. Anyone with a dash capable going through terrain can escape J4 ult terrain. Ekko, Yasuo, Jax, etc. Blinks like Zed and LB go without saying.

Hmm, that's odd...you did just click on it once, right?

It should pop up if you did it right, shouting all kinds of warnings about protective measures, giving you the choice to either cancel or giving the concent to proceed.

No, but I so often get a PM saying "hey, can i ask you something...", I sure feel like it. ^^ "EUNE Helpdesk, how can I help you?"

It grows quite tiresome, to be honest.

I lol'd . I'm sure they'll hotfix it soon, it might have something to do with the turret AI changes messing up when combined with Dragon AI.

He could've just left Charizard there attacking the turret since Charizard would get out of range of Mordekaiser and get teleported to him anyway.

Only normal morde ghosts have a leash, dragons leash is infinite and will not teleport. There was a small space of time when Morde could put a leash on drg if you used the classic Morde, but riot patched it.

The hell? Mord's rework was really the only one who "broke" the champ. Well that and Ryze rework #2

Saianna1 votes

Shen rework changed him to fighter Sion rework changed him to meatshield with no damage Kogmaw rework changed him into "stand there, press W and kill or die turret" Evelynn rework changed her from assassin to a tank'ish fighter Malzahar.. I can't even... Poppy rework changed her from competent fighter/bruiser/tank into tank Zilean rework changed him into skillshot reliant snot Tristana rework totally removed her AP build. Vlad rework changed him into teethless vampire.

For me those reworks are simply removing a champion I really enjoyed for something that isn't that bad, but doesn't translate what they used to be

Malz is still pretty similar actually. mained him for over a year now, and its honestly fine.
