Mordekaiser's Shield is Unique: Rework Focus
This thread (and associated poll) are basically to gauge interest in a version of Mordekaiser that focuses on his shield mechanic.
Riot has stated that they are trying to make each champion feel unique. I agree with that direction. It is problematic, though, when Riot decides to add a unique mechanic to a champion (in this case, Ghost Dragon) instead of honing an existing unique mechanic (the shield that builds as Morde deals damage).
I think focusing on the shield and re-adjusting him to be a juggernaut, instead of a burst damage carry, is the right direction for him. This would require he lose his burst. It would require no Ghost Dragon. It seems, from other discussions on forums, that many other players agree with this direction, but I think we need to make a point to Riot with numbers for them to pick up on whether or not this is really a majority opinion from players. This is why I attached a poll.
The point I want to make to Riot is this: When you get around to looking at Mordekaiser again, please consider the shield mechanic instead of this crazy Ghost Dragon thing. It was a cool idea, but it clearly didn't deliver and it isn't necessary.
