Morde's steady climb

Mordekaiser has been seeing a slow but steady climb in Playrate over the last 6 months. 1.2%- 1.6% .4% is nothing too most of the Roster just a drop in the bucket But to Morde that's an increase of 133% of his player base. Which is frankly odd for various reasons

1)Riot never mentions him (2 tweets about bug fixes promised 6months ago hardly count) 2) He is considered a Garbage tier Champion by most of the community. Which brings us too 3)He has Alot of Bugs like alot, I'm sure it would be meme worthy if it wasn't so depressing

So why the consistent increase? Why are more and more people Picking up the Master of Metal.

I'm sure there are lots of Reasons I have a few theories.

  1. His Lore. The People who wrote this did an amazing job best thing too come out of that garbled mess that ruined Morde for his Player base.

  2. his Playstyle: did I lose some of you people there ? Let me explain Mordekaisers kit and playstyle is a Giant Middle finger too all the things I hate about LOL (hyper Mobile champions and most ADC and assasins) and he is just fun to play even if I know he could be alot better

  3. Malicious Metal, Mordeçaiser, Raidboss Morde, Rubick, Kingofelohell, Star Shapers and Many more just talking. Yup occasionally a funny meme or Pokemon Battle will crop up but mostly talking

I'm a little excited it's Nice to Know that Mordekaiser can still Reel in New players.

What do you guys think

Mordekaiser is a very strong champion in SoloQ kind of like Darius. It is hard to mess up on him tbh, except missing your E. I play support, and I rarely see Morde, but I would love to see more variety in the solo lanes

I've been seeing more people play Morde. The play rate is still low, which is okay by me; more huehue for me.

But his playstyle I'd do satisfying. Everything about him.

The sheild. Fat heals. Ghosts. Seige God Champion.

I love sacrificing my mobility to be a sleeper OP melee carry

Morde is very stronk

Gg ez Mordekiaser es numero uno

His shields wear off a bit fast when not spamming a spell in combat I think. Otherwise, he's pretty decent. You still get kited very hard with hyper-mobile adc's and stuff, but if your team coordinates, you can definitely do well. Played morde top and got counter-picked by xayah (she can avoid most of your damage, adc's are strong right now, and she can stun you when you try to walk at her). Her vi jg made it a mission to make my life hell too... gets old being 1v2 every game. But lucky for me, I knew a few more tricks and had more experience so I avoided her stuns and generally traded 1 for 1 or 2 for 0 when ganked. Still an annoying matchup though and teamfights even harder.
