The Bright Side of Champion Changes

Mordekaiser's recent identity implosion has been so awful that it reminded me of instances when Riot went WITH the flow of a champion's character instead of against it. For example, the best buff in the history of LoL: Singed auto-laughing on his flip. Another really cool case was making Mister Yi's dance speed scale with movement speed. No stat changes here; just pure flavour. This kind of thematic brilliance contrasts pretty sadly with how an experience advantage was tacked onto Morde's W because reasons.

It would be awesome to see more stylistic changes akin to Singed's and MasterYi's. Quirks like these are what make this game so rich.

The thing is, those champions are just getting slight changes, and nothing actually related to gameplay. Morde got a nearly full rework, and the Harrowing is upcoming, so it makes some sense that he'll get decently large changes, even if they aren't what people enjoy.
