Why I’m NOT quitting Mordekaiser

Before I get the elo shakedown, I also have a smol account “Actor Gin”. I peaked in plat but I have over 1000 games and over a million points in morde. Anyway that’s just me validating my opinion that follows...

• Morde has no agency, yes (NEEDS engage on team)
• Outdated (doesn’t follow riots modern design philosophy)
• Gimped (extreme weakness to account for extreme strength)

BUT

He already has a trash play rate so as long as I enjoy it, I’ll play him because quitting him won’t make riot fix him.

Also, having less agency doesn’t seem to harm my success (speaking for the bottom 90%- below Plat 4). It’s just when I do lose, I lose HARD, and when I win, I win HARD. It’s not healthy but the end result is a decent win rate (I hover 56-59%) on a low skill champ.

Idk if they are fixing him soon, but a QUICK FIX imo would be:

• E grounds. Remove bonus shield mechanic

• Even out Q damage overall a nerf to damage, but have the last hit give CC as a reward

• increase base MS

• change ult name to Master of puppets. No more dragon ghost? Methinks.

• New passive: “Children of the grave” killing a lane minion grants a shield for 5% max health. Killing a champ gives a shield for more (idk how much balance wise let’s just say 15% max health) shields do NOT stack and don’t decay MEANING killing multiple minions only gives the 5%. Champion shields take priority over minion shields. Having damage shield him but in a predictable way

Hopefully the core would be:
