I tried him in nemeses pick, and carried the entire game. Which was funny, because we gave them broken champs, and I traded THRESH for Urgot. So ya, I wanna buy him!

I understand they wanna not go too far into story but Elise story makes small sense to me. Like Elise has no reason to help Vilemaw but they work together for some reason and stuff.

Going off purely what I read of her story, I see it as a symbiotic relationship.

She's not helping him because she cares for him. She helps Vilemaw because she wants to stay young and beautiful. It is her obsession and where her sense of power is derived from. After the incident on their first meeting, she understands that keeping it happy and well fed is show she'll retain her youth.

So... Mordekaiser wants to, naturally, take over the world?

33:10 I had a similar idea but instead of teaming up vs Mord, its a team up vs Aatrox.

Suppose there is a Battle between Damacia and Noxus, Damacia is losing so Aatrox shows up to "help out". Despite Aatrox siding with J4, Jarvan is repulsed by the horror that is visited on the battlefield seemingly by Aatrox's influence. He reaches to Darius, points out the insanity of his faction and the demon responsible for it.

The team up of J4 and Darius vs Aatrox would make for an awesome animated minisode, but would Darius even team up with J4 or would he see this as a sign of weakness and opt to continue the fight on his own terms.

But then again I haven't played much with Mord while I main Aatrox so I wasn't even aware that Mord wanted to conquer the world. Anyway I think two enemies teaming up vs a greater threat would make for a good story.
