Siphoning "life" "essence" or souls or whatever Dark currency Mordekaiser uses to fuel himself...

I feel as though it's rather bleak and boring that it's simply click zip shields up. As a rework is coming I would hope to see a decent animation or "living" form of what goes to fuel him when he "displaces" this currency from his victims.

Overall I would think a Vlad Q blood trail, or the jungle health and mana stream but of course with a soul blue color but obviously his very form is not from killing but from damaging over time with bits and pieces so having this effect boast over the game would be repetitive and detrimental to the frames.

SO! for an new ability or effect whatever which way it could go: Upon damaging or "displacing" a unit releases streams of souls/dark energy/metal that bite gnaw and chew at nearby units (tristana explosive shot, but *D.O.T. these act like uncontrollable pets fueling morde for a nice shield regenerating effect. These streams, if no target is available return to morde and sort of cluster around him like bees in a hive for a neat charged effect for abilities or a nice passive defensive bonus.

A number of options display themselves for this effect, whether or not focusing on shield abilities or simply a "Stacked deck" sort of passive that simply adds damage

Option 1 : Creeping Death [W] Stays the same however the streams can be utilized as defensive boost granting X number of souls to get x shield power per soul, at the same time the ability to target allies and "transfer" the shield including your own reserves to an allied unit utilizing mordes passive effect for their benefit, I can see a support morde as the "shield generator" High spellvamp and level one Creeping death.

Option 2: passive simply allows for streams to occur from damaging/displacing units streams cluster up as the shield gets stronger, and damaging units causes them to fling themselves at the targets dealing *D.O.T. further giving morde shield power

Option: 3 (because in the land of pretend...) Replaces ult with a sort of locust swarm in a large area that either follows morde or acts pet mode like and goes where it pleases

But that's my thoughts I love Dark knight sippy soul and I think he should get a good effect for his essence drinking abilities!

There has already been talk of visual updates for abilities on Mordekaiser and others. They talked about this back when Rumble, Shyv and Nunu got updates a little while ago.
