A very, very unpopular opinion

I absolutely love the Mordekaiser rework! First of all, it adds some variety to bot lane. TBH it gets a little stale how bot lane never has any major shake ups compared to the other roles such as the recent to and from tank junglers or the constantly shifting siege or assassin champs in mid lane. Morde is the first real wild card in playstyle in bot lane rather the stagnant adc who farms from range and sometimes harasses or engages depending on his/her support. Honestly, this change was not truly needed, but it is fun and interesting because in theory he can get poked out easily and burn through his hp and have difficulty keeping his shield alive. By contrast he can also walk right up to the enemy laners and hue hue hue them to death. In addition to being different, he also offers a great way to round out teamcomps very nicely! Say you get fiora top, yi jungle and zed mid. Normally you will be thinking as an adc "great, going to have get last whisper very early since theyre going to stack armor on top of their armor...." Well not necessarily because you can choose mordekaiser and BOOM!!!! Just like that you have a legitimate ap threat in bot to keep the enemy team's builds honest! beyond that, he still has success while building like a bruiser so if your team is lacking in beefiness, you can help round out your team's comp even further buy building item 3742 , item 3116, item 3001 as the situation requires! I truly do not understand why he is so hated, he does not seem to be vastly more powerful than he used to be and is certainly not as problematic as some of the other reworked champs such as Darius , Gangplank , and Skarner . I get that he can feel a little restrictive to downright oppressive in lane but that is not a good reason to constantly demand that riot entirely revert an entire rework(that undoubtedly required a lot of effort) just because you do not like something that you have hardly time to adjust to. Do not take that to mean that Mordekaiser is not strong, quite the contrary, he is very strong atm and could still be viable with some slight or moderate nerfs. but thematically, he is pretty cool right now, he can have the dragon as his personal servant and right now and if you don't think that's cool then there's no pleasing you! Finally, Mordekaiser is just plain fun right now! landing a third Q and seeing hp disappear or being able to be aggro as a bot lane carry while bossing around the ghosts of those that oppose you is pure joy! His W is a little messy at the moment but it could be far worse when viewed with some subjectivity. His solo laning is also a little lackluster compared to his bot lane but it still seems to be more or the less the same than previous solo laning with mordekaiser. Its definitely less abusive and annoying to play against than when we were getting chunked by his q ricochets and e spamming while he farms! Also, bare in mind that riot is supposedly planning an adc rework for the off-season so try to see how mordekaiser fits into the new bot lane meta after several months before reach our final verdict. In conclusion, I really, really like the new mordekaiser and don't bother QQ'ing on this post because you can't change my mind or stop me from enjoying as him! It's my opinion and if you don't like it, then create your own thread! Otherwise, see you on the rift and more pew pew, less QQ!summoner 30

There is nothing good about Morde's rework. The only reason he's good in bot lane is because he gets an unfair advantage over ADCs. You stick his W passive on any melee champ, and they'll be viable bot lane.

Old Morde wasn't particularly healthy either, but he was a billion times better than this garbage.

But really, it doesn't matter my opinion on Morde's trash rework, becuase CertainlyT still won't back down from his unjustified high horse, and Riot hasn't reverted a rework yet, even ones that should have been reverted (Evelynn Sona )

Well who wouldn't love a broken champ that gives you freelo?

However that's not the issue here and fun is rather irrelevant.

The real question is; is it healthy for the game.

(And no, he's not healthy. Obviously, since his rework was made by the shittiest designer in RITO)

I kind of like him too. He's fun to play with and fun to play against. I actually like most of the juggernauts. Except Garen. Fuck that guy. Nobody should get free true damage for being on a losing team.

I like it too, for the most part. They just added a couple of atrociously stupid things to make it dumb powerful.

  1. There's no reason for him to get solo lane exp in a duo lane. What a surprise the guy that hits level 6 when everyone else is level four is beating us.

  2. Dragon ghost. Are you kidding me? Late game you can literally take dragon and use it to solo baron. How stupid is that? And early game getting a dragon automatically means you get a tower, whereas every other champion has to make a decision whether they get drag or tower.

It's like how I feel about Sion.

Sure, New Sion is a fun champ to play and is a really good tank with some fun play making.

But if I had to choose between New Sion and Old Sion, I wouldn't give it another thought and immediately take Old Sion back.

Go into the Jungle a boy, come out a TERMINATOR!
