Champions shouldn't be forced into a lane.

Look Riot, I'm not a Mordekaiser main, and I'm not a gameplay and balance worker, and I'm glad you're reworking some less played champions.

But, for the love of Urf please don't force any champion into a specific role or lane. Last time I heard you wanted to make things more diverse with the upcoming changes, when are you gonna stick to that?

I feel like it's getting harder and harder to be more unique with a lot of these new changes. Just my honest opinion.

You can't help but boggle at their audacity- "we want to increase diversity of champions in the game- by forcing one into literally only work in a single lane".

Hey, Riot? Mordekaiser is not Kalista (thank fuck). No matter what CertainlyT thinks. I mean, you ARE aware that Kalista, while popular (thanks to being fundamentally OP if you can meet her skill curve) is also one of his most-hated champs because she's as toxic as fuck, right? You should not be emulating that design principle by forcing Morde to lane with a teammate in order to achieve anything.

I heard them say this when they added Runeglaive, but I'm pretty sure they took out a bunch of other junglers at the same time. Fiddlesticks is a great example.

They literally could have just kept Magus in the game.

RIOT cant force a champ into a lane.

Diana was originally meant to be a jungler if irecall her spotlight; she is a fighter/assassin primarily now.

No, but you can make it extremely difficult for a champion to go in any other lane, and make it completely garbage if it does go anywhere else. cough Mordekaiser cough

There's quite a lot of jungle only champions and some support only champions too...nobody complained about them. Let's see what the mord experiment will bring to the table after a few months.

Sure they can. You tried playing solo lane Soraka since the rework? Try it and tell me how that works out for you.

I disagree but I hate how they react to something when players/lcs pick up a troll build. For example you start seeing Taric go top, "Unknown reason." So they take him and his support build's behind the wood shed for Graves to take care of him.

A champ should when being made should be made for 1 lane, like Annie for example. She was a mid who was found to play support well enough. She was allowed to remain there because Zed Yasuo threw her out.

But on Mordekaiser a lot of his kit requires him to be around another team mate, and they intended him being an anti-adc. If you want to go top have fun and tell me how that works out for you. Not being able to use parts of your kit.
