Affliction. FOREVER ! -- Mordekaiser Rework Ideas
Intro :
Having been a 
Mordekaiser main for quite some time, i can pretty much say that his identity is questionable.
His low playrate might be given by his design as champion with NO gap-closers, NO built-in cc , that is easily kiteable and one that gets outscaled as the game progresses. It makes you wonder : except for a niche pick, why pick Mordekaiser?
As such, i would like to post here a few thoughts about some possible Mordekaiser changes, that would not only make him relevant, but also bring some new mechanics to the game ( thing which Riot seems to be working on atm, too), while making the champ more skill-rewarding.
What i envisioned : getting Morde a new passive and E, leaving room for skill expression as well as counterplay
Passive : Mordekaiser feels contempt for all opposing him. He views his enemies as mere sacrifices for his power to grow upon. As such, every assist on an enemy champions or every 40 minions farmed grant 1 Sacrificial Token, while every champion_ kill_ grants 2 Sacrificial Tokens.
Tokens can be exchanged in shop (like GP's Silver Serpent system) to grant permanently empowered domains , or can be directly used to summon a great attack. )
Shop Domain upgrades : priced 10 Tokens each. **Permanent! **
- Stagnant Domain : Enemies are slowed for 40%.
- Affliction Domain : Enemies take 25% bonus damage from Mordekaiser
- Heretic Domain : During the duration of the domain, all allies are healed for a portion of their health ... [ subject to change ]
Q: Same as live
W: Same as live
E: Death's Domain
Passive: Every 25 seconds, Mordekaiser gains a stack of Ominous Mark. He can store up to 1/1/2/2 marks at once.
Active 1: Mordekaiser can place an Ominous Mark within 1500 range of him. The marks are untargetable for 60 seconds, but become brittle after that, and can be destroyed by the enemy. Brittle Marks can still be used to create a Domain. Marks expire after a total of 180 seconds.
If there are atleast 3 marks in this range of Mordekaiser ( sort of how Yorick's ghoul raising passive works ) , Mordekaiser can recast this ability to form a** Domain** between the Ominous Marks, in which Mordekaiser's other basic abilities are enhanced, and other domain bonuses are applied.
Active 2:Feel their pain: Mordekaiser pays the price of 2 of his Sacrificial Tokens to deal a burst of damage affecting all units in the domain healing for part of the damage dealt. Deals bonus damage to minions.
( Damage 100% single champion inside domain, 85 % 2 champions , 70% 3 or more champions. Can only be used once / domain ! )
Damage : 250/280/310/340/370 + ?% scaling Cooldown : 25 seconds to create a mark. 80/70/60/50 seconds to create a domain, lowers 10 sec with takedowns. Takedowns inside the domain lower the cooldown with 20 secs. Duration: 10-12 seconds
Ult : same as live
Opinions please?
