Why is Mordekaiser's Q coded as AOE?

Rinkle Dinkle··2 votes·861 views

Mordekaiser's Q functions as an aoe ability, despite being single target. This is apparent when tested with Deathfire Touch and item 3146 .This really gimps his itemization and Keystone choices ( item 3146 Deathfire) , and has been a problem for about two years (Ever since the rework). Any plans to fix this?

It can't be that the ability is coded as DOT, because deathfire touch applies for two seconds, which is the AOE variant.

Gunblade also only heals for 33% of the 15% damage vamp. This is actually a huge issue for mordekaiser, due to hextech being such a good item for him on paper.

My theory is that riot simply never changed the code to single target after the initial rework. His Q was originally a single target empowered auto, that would become AOE if the initial target was nearby another enemy.

A Red Response would be great. Such a huge bug should be fixed, especially if the issue is something as simple as Single target being coded as AOE.

It sucks but I think Riot has long since stopped giving a shit about Mordekaiser because it's just easier for them not to

Morde honestly doesnt need another band aid patch, his kit needs to be redesigned from the ground up as his kit has alot of inherit issues that cant just be patched...but instead of addressing him....their reworking eve......

No his kit is good. He needs tweaks, and coding fixes.

Not rlly, his kit is very uninteractive and dull....i doesnt feel like lord of metal...it feels like.....shit tbh, i feel he needs a visual update, along with a new kit that is more orientated to setting up a burst combo while still having his trademark shield

But.... He did get a visual update.

And he already had a rework.

Mordekaiser isn't bad, he's just not good. The only reason he feels clunky is his Q does 4082357% damage on the third hit instead of the first hit. He has ungodly lane sustain.

Beyond that they just nerfed his numbers too hard because riot doesn't know how to balance anything. They aren't doing anything about him because he isn't a champion with a .1 second dash and can't blow someone up with a single button press, so no one is playing him. God forbid players don't play champs that can mash their face on the keyboard and get kills.

No...i mean an actual visual update...have you seen his model? hes got fucking pizzas for feet, and his kit still doesnt have a proper theme, hes some kind of metal necromancer???? like legit, i dont even understand what hes supposed to be, i feel he could become much more then a meme but they refuse to give him a sion level update

Lilly Skunk1 votes

Bro he's the black knight, A living walking suit of armor with a mace the size of my mom. That's the theme.

The meme? He's secret OP.

Xavanic1 votes

his abilites can be made to make his theme alot more appearant, like thought he was a necromancer that used a mace for the longest time

Mordekaiser would instantly become a meta pick if they would fix the fuck-ton of bugs littered across his kit. I assure you.

Xavanic1 votes

Yeah, but look at his visuals and awkward kit

Morde is a meme at this point.Wait for his rework and play someone else.

Test it with Camille, if her Q counts as single target then I dunno what to tell ya.

If her Q does the same thing, then I would imagine it's because you technically CAN hit more than one target with it, from first cast to cooldown, by using each cast on a different target.

Or maybe it's just because it'd be goofy to be able to re-apply DFT at full force, as well as other similar interactions, from one single "Spell" due to it having multiple casts before it goes on cooldown.

Best guesses I've got. I don't really see it as being wrong, I think it's the right way to do it, but I feel it's wrong for it to be that way if it isn't the same for camille, or any other champ with a similar skill(Can't think of another, but plenty of champs I don't play out there.)

My issue with Mordekaiser is that his empowered q won't activate aoe dmg items half the times which sucks! It sucks about half the amount riot games suck which is waay too much. What I want is to kidnap and adc and boost it with my damage, then aoe these people with my q. Fix your shit. Also fix hextech it's core for his hybrid builds. THANK YOU
