Why is a metal man the lord of death?
Seriously. This makes about as much sense as calling Yorick the master of metal, like bitch please, don't go through with this horrid idea, and if you that much want to give someone some stupid ass title, please for the love of god, give it to that untouched, abomination you guys nerfed into the ground Yorick.
Not only would it actually fit Yorick's theme, but it would also allow Morde to keep his title, albeit since you don't want him to actually be the master of metal, at least he would still be called it.
Let's be real for second. This rework is the absolute worst idea i think anyone could have come up with. His w is stupid as an ability itself, hell i think if you took that absolute retarded passive off of it, and put more power into the damage, and then revert his q, (**Stop trying to add lame ass 3 hit mechanics into the game.**)he would be Mordekaiser again.
If you really want him to be good, and i mean good from his old standpoint, give his old shield an MS boost regardless if he is moving towards a person that has the other aspect of it.
