inb4 Ryze. Again.
We haven't done this year's Ryze rework, so we may as well start now, right?
Gotta give him the 4th rework for perfection
つ ◕_◕ ༽つMORDE TAKE MY ENERGY!
Aaaaaand the winners aaaare...
Ryze and Lee Sin. That's right, Lee Sin has priority even here. Suck it metalurgists.
teemo?
u wish ..... and so do i but, its not gonna happen any time soon. plus i prefer the current play style for now.
Probably Skaner. That guy has one of the oldest model and splash art in the game. I can't think of a single champion with a older/ worse splash art.
You are kidding, right?
If not:
That guy beats skarner by far.
Mundo's splash looks decent. Remember mundo's old splash? Skarner's splash looks like its on par with one of riots' first splashes
An outdated splash art is not a reason for a VGU tho lol
Riot is far from pleased with Skarner's currnet gameplay, especially with the arbitrary objective-capture minigame they tacked onto him way back when.
Skarners model is pretty modern.
He qualifies for a GU, not a VGU.
I disagree. Both splash arts are similar when it comes to quality, but Dr. Mundo is outdated in terms of lore. Look at Zaun in his background. It doesn't match what we know about the updated Zaun.
On top of that: Skarners in game model is pretty modern, Mundo is horrible. He looks like from a completely different game.
Are you HIGH!!!
Swain would be way cooler than your used Sprite can.
If Riot wants to avoid having another champion beat Yorick in the "time since last skin" meme, Swain will be one of the next two updates. Either that, or the VGU team will allow the Skins department to make that Dragon Master Swain skin first.
(Swain is 11 months behind Yorick).
I think they scrapped that Dragon Master idea a long time ago

I think they scrapped that Dragon Master idea a long time ago
When Morello made that promise, Swain wasn't on the rework list. Then, he was put on the rework list, only well towards the end behind Poppy, Taric, Yorick, etc.
It's not that they scrapped the idea, per se. The skins team were asked to not work on the skin and they complied.
"I don't get it Sees Malicious Metal post it Oh... Ahhh i get it now"
I might not be up to date, do we have a clear date for the VGU announcement?
Next Week Reav3's new post should go up
I bought Morde when I first started league not too long ago, I looked at him and thought 'this is exactly the character I would play' he has a big weapon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) he's in a suit of armor, he's metal af, what could go wrong?
Refunded that mf asap
I hadn't played Morde for long enough that when I saw him for 1k IP I was like sure let's give it a go what could go wrong. I can't get a refund anymore so I'm trying to make the masochism work.
You gotta time his heals. Mobility is tong on him, and so is pen. Know when to build AD, and know when to build AS.
When in doubt, rush Liandries, tho I normally rush gunblade.
Are there any good tanky builds? Right now I'm testing jungle kaiser
And that's why lots of people have trouble playing him. You can't build Morde full tank. If you do, you'll have minimal heals, weak ghosts, weak DoT, and somewhat strong sheilds.
Keep in mind how his passive works: you get a shield that blocks damage from the damage you deal by your abilities.
My ideal build is such as Rylias, Liandries, Steraks, Gunblade, Guinsoos, and your choice of Sorc Shoes/Berserker Greaves/Ludens.
An offensive resistances build (which is Op) is say Maw, Zhoynas, Mercurial, Guardian Angel, Abysmall. Try this sometime; you'll have a bunch of damage, and resistances too, debuts and extra shields. But get appropriate resistances. One tank item in any of these builds is okay. ONE. Morde needs damage for his passive.
Just for fun, I'll even tell you a strong troll build: rush triforce, and every other item is Steraks gauge. They stack, and the stacked Steraks gives you more bonus AD than with carry itrms. Add that plus the shitload of AP, how bursty your Q is, Triforce sheen proc doing over 700 damage, and the strength of any ghosts you get... just make sure you take ignite because you lack ap on this troll build, so use ignite with your ult on a low enemy to make up for it.
Don't forget Morde was reworked to be a melee carry. He's not a tank anymore. Morde is a slow ass Yasuo who doesn't need crit, and can build anything.
I literally will build BotRK and What Giant Slayer builds into against a Cho Gath and utterly wreck him.
It's funny because Morde can build anything

Btw, if you go jungle, get Echoes, and play a sneaky AD morde. Just get dragon, walk into lanes, and Q them to death, OPOP
Or solo baron with rank 2 dragon ghost
Echoes-Gunblade-Rageblade-INFINITY EDGE-Berserker Greaves - Phantom Dancer/Ludens/Botrk/Deathcap/Nashors
I like to go glass cannon as jungle Morde, I'm a sneaky S.o.b. in the jungle!! I'll b3 a Seige lord of onjectives, or just come with dragon and 2 shot people since my jungle builds have such insanely high AD, attack speed, and CRIT. A critting Morde is like using 1st Q without using first Q, so you can imagine what his crit Q is like, HELLO ONE SHOT TO THE ADC, FREE GHOST, FREE PENTA, FOR THE HUES
I'll try all of those, starting with the trinity troll :D
When you're jungle what runes do you go with?
I'm trying a build where I rush rylai cinder hulk and warmogs, all damage after that, I'm trying to break his passive some how by finding the sweet spot between stacked health vs damage so I can be in the center of fights.
If you're going to do that, build a couple of damage items first, than tanky items.
Most Morde mains disagree, but I usually do without Rylias since it's nerf. If they are pretty fast than build it; but there are other ways of sticking, like Movespeed items and ghost as your Summer Spell.
My runes are: AD reds, AP blues, AP Quints, scaling hp or flat armor(armor is better for Jung, but I use scaling hp for late game scaling) yellows.
You can also use AS quints.
Your jungle item should be echoes. Gives much needed MS, and the AP gives fat heals, and a stronger shield.
My second jungle item always seems troll; I'll either go Rageblade, or Infinity Edge.
My standard Morde jungle build is:
Runic Echoes, Infinity Edge, Guinsoos, Gunblade, Berserker Greaves, and Ludens.
I take the enchant that steals movement speed since I don't run Rylias most of the time.
Also, since my jungle build is super squish, I only come in lane A) if I know I can get a kill or force the enemy out of lane, or if I have dragon.
But remember I play a sneaky Morde jungle; I'll even steal enemy camps early.
Although if you can't do my full hybrid glass cannon build because they are bursting you, build ONE tank item, such as Randies, Deadmans, or Visage, and one or two of your items should have built in resistances or defensive properties: Steraks, Maw, Zoynyas, Abysmall. As you can see, I'm not afraid to build Morde AD. Don't underestimate AD Morde, but you do need some AP for heals and ult burn.
That's why Guinsoos Rageblade combo on Morde is super strong. But you need to know Morde's mechanics because he is squishy, but the two give you good stats. In the jungle, when in doubt, do this combo with runic into juggernaut items.
Echoes, Gunblade, Rageblade, Rylias, Liandrues, boots of choice. This build here Is the best combo of my build and a normal Morde build. Try it. It's fun.
Out of curiosity, what would you like to see happen to Morde/what do you not like about him now?
What about something like the Darknut, from Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess? http://i.imgur.com/XMRARmd.jpg[/img]
All these ideas are fun, but they lack the distinct features that make it appear like a spirit animating a suit of armor. Mordekaiser is an undead, and he should look it. Most all of the pics you guys have linked could be a man in armor and don't lend much to the fantasy of an undead in armor. He needs the touch to distinguish himself and anchor him in the Shadow Isles.

That's wtf I'm talking about!!!
We must go higher! https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0285/53/1385705454801.jpg
You called?
Nah ya'll are trippin someone already made a Morde rework

Having two VGU's in such a short timeframe would be absurd, especially considering they JUST released Kayn. Balancing that before worlds would be impossible
Then again, I guess they did that with Juggernauts, so w/e.
I guess its Corki or Morgana & Kayle
I thought that the vgu announcement was basically telling what they plan on doing for aatrox. And it is already confirmed that they want to do work on another diver not long after him (don't know if it is vgu or reksai level update yet).
is now a Juggernout/Diver hybrid
So he become Shyvana or does he become Olaf?
I have a feeling it will be a good day for evil.
