Riot is not going to revert the Morde rework.

It's not even about balancing those mechanics, it's more about how these abilities overreward player for regular things player has to do to win game at League. You are already getting gold for last hitting minions, why you should also gain more exp than your enemy doing exactly the same? Slaying dragon gives a whole team a global buff that is affecting stats of your team, a lot of times getting 5th dragon decides who wins the game. When you are Morde, you additionally gain very powerful pet under your command. This mechanic punishes enemy team for letting Morde's team get the dragon even more! As I said, basically, Morde's team can get 2 objectives instead of one in nearly every case: not only dragon, but also turret. While everybody has level 4-6. That is why this rework is bad, it works only because it gives Morde free stuff for doing nothing extraordinary.

You get dragon because morde cant siege for shit without it. Late game morde is awful, you have no way to dive, no dashes, you have no way to initiate, you cannot poke, you cannot siege unless your team helps you, or you have a pet dragon.

By this Logic, Nasus is OP because he gets stacks for farming, something he's already supposed to do. And Draven is OP because he gets adoration stacks for CSing and catching axes, something he's already supposed to do. That argument doesn't mean anything. Yes, Morde gets rewarded with more exp for CSing in a duo lane because he's a melee champion CSing in a duo lane. He gets a powerful sieging tool with his pet dragon because his siege is nonexistent whenever he doesn't have it. Nasus gets extra permanent damage on his Q every time he uses it to CS as compensation for his extremely weak early game and underloaded kit. Gangplank gets extra gold for farming with his Q to help offset the fact that his builds are extremely expensive. There is literally nothing different about those 2 examples when compared to Morde who also gets extra stuff for doing what he's supposed to do. Riot balances champions like that all the time; I don't know why it's suddenly an issue just because it's Morde.

If you don't want to give the impression that you're equating the 2, give a better example. Because that's generally what people intend when they give examples; they want to draw a parallel between the 2 situations. Riot's rework of Morde is nothing like a cash grab and the fact that you chose to bring it up in this thread is strange to me. I like the new Morde and so do lots of other people. I'm not convinced that he's the unbalanceable mess that the community is convinced he is or that he's even particularly unbalanced at this very moment. There's no unity here, just an appearance of unity. Not everyone hates the Morde rework just like everyone doesn't hate Lee Sin and want to see him gutted. Not everyone hates the idea Chroma packs for RP. Not everyone see's the evolution of more complex kits over time as an inherent problem. Not everyone see's the ubiquity of flash as a bad thing. Not everyone here thinks Riot is a terrible company. I can see where that impression comes from since people who have something to complain about are naturally the ones who go to places where you can complain about things.

I'm not just reflexively defending Riot here. I have my own list of complaints about them and their game just like everyone else does. The Morde rework is just not on that list, and none are any of the other juggernaughts. The juggernaughts reworks, new items, and the Morde rework in particular are, imo, among the best things Riot has done for this game and I'm tired of watching people say that Riot is killing their game when they're really breathing new life into it. Look at the competetive scene right now: Champion diversity and strategic diversity are at an all time high. The jungle as a whole is the most balanced it's ever been, ranged and melee champs are both equally viable in top lane, mages and assassins have finally reached a semblace of equality (you can thank the rise of tanks and juggernaughts for much of this). The only major imbalance atm is the massive advantage that late game adcs have due to how adc itemization currently stacks up, which Riot is working on. League is overall the best it's been since I started playing nearly 2 years ago and I have no idea what people are talking about when they say League is dying or getting worse every day or shit like that.

The PBE is just for testing bugs, I suppose.

You ment for checking out new skins, didn't you? Because if it was for testing bugs, release wouldn't be such a pandemony of bugs and glitches.

But it's not just CertainlyT. It's the people who keep green lighting his work. At some point we have to assume that CT is allowed these things because RIOT wishes it to be.
