How to bring Mordekaiser back
Hey! I'm a relatively new League player, and one of the first champions i really found interesting was MORDEKAISER . I bought him, and tried playing him in all the possible roles: top, jungle, even mid, adc and support (yep, support). However, it just felt that something was missing, in each of these roles. I mean... as a jungler his farm is ok-ish but he got no gap closers and no hard cc. As a top lane he isnt really that durable, he doesnt have cc, his W passive is wasted and you need to TP bot in order to get that dragon ghost. And i wont mention the problems he has in the other roles (they are kind of obvious )
There are games where Mordekaiser literally stomps everyone, just ramp that Q to 3rd hit and GG. Other games, he is literally dragging the team down. We can all agree he is kind of an odd-ball right now, and he just doesnt seem to fit in. He doesnt have a set role, or a specific place to play him in Summoner's Rift( He isnt a juggernaut, he doesnt have the stats. He doesnt have the mobility or gap closers of a bruiser, NO CC). Not to mention, in a way he is very easy to predict, he's a LINEAR champion, and he doesnt impact teamfights as he needs to ramp up his Q dmg, but by that time, he probably got kited to death.
I'm not saying completely rework Mordekaiser. Just add more FLAVOUR to the champion a bit.
Many people talk about her W passive being useless, and needing rework, or upping the dmg of the Q; however, i will try a different approach. Let's talk about Mord's ultimate, and more specifically, the DRAGON FORCE.
Look at Shyvana. Her passive is related to dragons too, and she recently got it reworked to be a bit more unique and make the player base his decisions on the type of dragon available, while also motivating the players to get the objectives.
So... here are my thoughts. How about Mordekaiser's dragon ghost changes depending on the dragon available?
First and foremost, all dragons deals less magic damage than before. ( The trade-off. Seems legit )
...then, each dragon grants unique bonuses ONLY WHILE THEIR GHOST IS STILL ACTIVE:
-Infernal: Grants increased damage to allies in an area around Mordekaiser -Mountain: Grants resistances in an area around Mord ( kind of what Aegis of the Legion used to do ) -Ocean: Heals allies in an area around Mord for 5% of their missing health every 5 seconds ( kind of what Poro king does ) -Cloud: Grants Mordekaiser and his allies Tenacity and increased movespeed when moving towards the Dragon or Mordekaiser
Elder might as well stay the same. Or maybe change it too.
!!! Keep in mind i said all dragons deal less magical damage as a trade-off. Or maybe we can think of other trade-offs
As a conclusion, my idea was to help Mordekaiser get some teamfight potential even when he isnt "fed", as he doesnt have CC, he cant really soak up that much dmg, and he cant really deal sustained dps and his burst requires time to ramp up. He will prioritize getting dragons, and other objectives early, while still being somewhat relevant mid-late game.
