When I first heard about the top lane buffs, I thought, "Hell yeah! Some tune ups to Mordekaisers base stats!" Instead I just see everyone else getting their base ad buffs and he's receiving nothing :(
I remember a time where Mordekaiser had the most base ad in the game, but I guess Riot forgot he relies on it too.
Doesn't matter how much you give him, just give him something, he's starving.
Clutch Thompson2 votesI wish they’d buff him but I can see why they don’t. The logic in his high base AD in the 2015 rework was to bolster A) his fat Q scaling B) his E scaling after the base damage nerf and C) Spellblade procs
He doesn’t take triforce or steraks often because there’s cheaper and more effective builds using AP and magic pen so let’s forget about part C.
So his Q’s and E’s are hitting just as hard as before since MR runes are gone which makes up for starting with 8 magic pen. PLUS he’s getting scorch and aery procs.
So that’s the logic imo, basically he’s just as effective since he only cares about the magic damage output that results from his AD.
Side note though i think he’s worse off because no stormraiders surge so imo give the mofo 340 ms for Christ sake
Mordepool1 votesGive him some Bug fixes. Please
Also never expect or ask for Mordekaiser buffs.
Right now I'm pretty sure Riot is using him as the benchmark for when to buff other Champions.
For example Riven was following the same winrate pattern as Morde
Morde: 47-48 winrate overall with plat+ having 52% winrate. Playrate 1% Riven 46-48 plat+ plat+ 51% playrate 5%
Once you see a Champion with a lower winrate and higher play rate than Morde expect them to get buffed.
What's worse is seeing champions with higher winrate a get buffed. It's happened 3 times this year iirc
