Juggernauts as a group

Mordepool·Jun 29, 2017·1 votes·163 views

Juggernauts as a whole are doing Poorly since the Tank Update and are seeing some well deserved compensation. That being said hasn't Really seen any changes in his Performance of 49% winrate 1.4% playrate. It's almost as if he isn't part of the group

Seeing as Mordekaiser only ever buys Mage items and "maybe" 1 full Defensive item.
I'm hard pressed to find a constructive reason for why they call him a Juggernaut.

It's about time we consider changing his classification to a Battlemage. Since he has more in common with Aurelion sol, Vladimir and Swain than Nasus, Garen, or Darius.

Make Mordekaiser a Late Game APC like how he used to be.

well Illaoi tends to spec heavily into AD with 1 or 2 actual tank items. There's also a new jungle Yorick build that's quickly gaining steam, it's basically full AD with one defensive item situationally.

I think juggernaut has more to do with playstyle than build, and in terms of playstyle Mord is very much a raid-boss type champion

Raid Boss sure but I don't know how that is translated into gameplay if at all.
I'm trying to find the Description they used for the subclasses ATM to showcase how close Morde is to being a Battle mage. It's hard to find. Brb

The big issue is that strong tanks like Zac have the damage and durability that juggs are meant to have while also having more mobility.

How do you counteract that while still remaining healthy for solo que

You nerf the damage. that's what. Having that much damage while being a pain in the ass just means that you'll become anal cancer.

hes a juggernaut because he has the same playstile. yea, his itemization is slightly different, going mostly for ap items instead of ad. (though imo item 3053 and item 3748 are decent options for him. he actually has pretty good ad scalings on his q)

but its also the same reason he wasnt affected much by the tank rework. he only partially builds into the same defensive items.

While I can agree that those items synergize with Morde there is a reason noone buys them on Morde the Reliance on AA on a slow Immobile champion who also has one of the worst attack speeds and no way of sticking to the target. In this Hyper moblie dominated game.

That's a Huge weakness to overcome (which 99.9% of the time you won't) for minimal return. All risk no reward. He's played as a Battlemage, because it's his only viable option to compete.

Morde has alot of Weaknesses to Overcome: Zero CC for the 1st 10-15 or even 20minutes of the game Zero Mobility
Lowest consistent Movement speed Really low attack speed and growth and as a mage overcomes 2 of these early in the game while still having a palpable Threat level to the enemy team.

Bruiser build your just yelling "Kite me I can't do anything"

I just want some Promised Bug fixes or a VGU but that's a year away at best.
