How was this a better title for Mordekaiser than "Lord of Death"? The only problem with "Lord of Death" is that it sort of sounds generic. It goes well with his kit, lore, VO, and visuals. "Master of Metal" on the other hand really only went with his model and some wordplay. At some point his W use to be more metallic, but not any more.

I mean, how is he the Master of Metal any more than Nautalis?

So...his entire visual appearance is metal and all of his abilities are direct references to metal music. I'm aware this seems like a tenuous connection to Master of Metal, but it's something players have identified with since his release.

I see no reason whatsoever why Riot needs to change this particular piece of Mordekaiser in order to make him a compelling champion, and I think that's where a lot of the confusion over this change comes from.

Voted other; he should have been kept as the "Master of Metal" and not changed at all. At this point he is just "Riot's experiment" and he seems more like he is about to be captured by Death rather than lord over it.

R.I.P. Morde; may you come back as a true Master of Metal in your next rework.
