Played Jungle Morde vs Jungle Graves. And I'm seeing a number of unfair updates in both
Noticeable fact: Both are completely different champions, I get it.
But they way Riot does the updates on both champions is just simply ridiculous. Previous Graves was quite fine compared to the old Morde, but the differences in updates between the two is something dumb:
Pros of
's update:
- AA becomes AoE.
- Knocks back minions & monsters with AA.
- Has strong burst with his Q ability.
- Most of his kit is kept compared to the old one.
- More mobile.
- Deceptively tanky in teamfights compared to other ADCs (yes, I know about the incoming E nerfs)
- Has high amount of sustain early game due to his AoE knockbacks.
Cons of
's update:
- Becomes viable in every lane except mid & his original ADC lane.
- Ranged highly reduced.
- ...I really can't find anything else bad about this gu- OH WAIT, right, still no cigar.
Pros of
's update:
- Gets bonus experience while near minions killed by ally.
- Has insane early pre-6 burst with a leveled Q.
- Shield now depletes steadily instead of blocks by blocks.
- He gets a fucking dragon.
Cons of
's update:
- Very immobile, compared to Darius who gets long duration of bonus ms with BC.
- Still requires a Rylai for CC, especially when it is getting reworked.
- Was forced to become a mindless ADC due to his kit changes, despite being melee.
- Dragons can be CC'ed, and he doesn't get Rift Herald's ghost for some odd reason.
- After changing him back to Fighter role, he was left alone in the dusk to rot, awaiting to observe Ryze's future 1475th rework.
I really wish Riot would somehow try looking into Morde again, especially when this item
is getting reworked for preseason.
