What's the difference between Canastus/Cassio and Malicious M/Mordekaiser?
They're both trying to get their favorite champions back on track yet Canastus grts way less attention and less praise.
Why's that?

Canastus recycles his threads and always tells the same old story. MM analyzes more aspects as well as being funny and he's more open to accepting other people's opinions on the matter and generally having a lot of snarky remarks up his sleeve in the case of haters.
Plus Morde es numero uno.
cass isn't nearly as meme-able
It's funny though because Malicious Metal has accepted the changes made to Morde and is happy despite those changes being much more extreme than the changes made to Cass.
I think the Old School Cass fans need shut it after a certain point tbh.
MM is just nicer about it really. The Cass threads feel angry. When I see them I read "Fuck you Riot!". MM's threads feel as though he is just pushing Riot in the right direction.
From a design perspective, MM accepted the reason for Mordekaiser's change (and that there was a reason) accepts that he wasn't perfect before the rework (from both the perspective of Morde and the enemy) and understands the champion well enough to give proper, feedback that is clear, concise and helpful. I don't see this in Cass threads.
From a balance perspective, I have never thought that MM's suggestions would push Morde into pick/ban territory.
From a thematic perspective, MM says why he wants the changes, he explains that well. The Cass threads just say that Cass should be a poison mage. None of the ones I have read expand on that.
Perhaps the major difference is that Canastus is lost in a sea of angry Cass threads. I actually don't recognise the name. If the player base as a whole calmed down to have a proper discussion (which isn't even happening in the thread being replied to at the moment - even the helpful comments have snarky bits directed towards Rep, Stashu and Riot) then perhaps things would change.
There are many differences between Cass threads and MM threads.
Because Malicious spams the board everyday with Morde threads like a baby and never satisfied.
