I think I might be obsessing a bit too much about this, but it'd honestly be such a simple fix

This is quite literally the only thing I don't like about the rework, and it's grinding my gears more than it has any right to.

This completely breaks the immersion of the Dragon Knight skin due to one very significant reason: #Dragon Knight promises the idea of playing an actual DRAGON Knight, meaning Mordekaiser is supposed to be this draconic warrior who's half man, half scale-plated monstrosity.... Which is undermined by the skin losing the iconic draconic visage that gives the skin its very menacing look.

Funnily enough, the Hooded look isn't something that carries over to most of Mordekaiser's skins, since Infernal, Pentakill and King of Clubs retain their visored heads and simply have their fancy crowns hover between their horns.

This just feels very, very off, since the Nazgûl-esque aesthetic works wonders on Lord and Base, but this is literally THE skin next to Pentakill where it doesn't make any sense for him to lose his awesome helmet.

A fellow Mordekaiser main actually managed to bug it out and get this shot: https://i.imgur.com/R6Stfhu.png

Which looks absolutely stunning!

Having the crown hover between his wicked curved horns would make the skin look so much more awesome and it's really spoiling the skin for me since other than that tiny little detail it might just be my favorite of the bunch.

It just NEEDS to keep the armoured head and I sincerely hope this gets fixed post release.

Because the more I look at it the sadder I get. [sg-janna]

PLEASE LET LORD BE AT -LEAST- AS GOOD AS INFERNAL. it’s 975 and could look amazing if you just give him the right gold particles. PLEASE IVE SEEN SO MANY MANY THREADS FOR THIS CHANGE.

The problem is that you are not obsessing enough. It's way more important than you make it seem!

I agree he needs to keep the horns during ult!

BUT that glitched image you posted looks far from stunning, way too cluttered. I feel like it deserves new assets with some ghostly horns, either placed a bit lower or further out to the side. OR they could change the crown to be shaped like dragon horns curved into a crown shape?

I dunno i think the second pic helmet looks real weird o-o

But admittedly the hood in the first doesnt (to me) feel like a perfect fit either.

Have they changed the poro in his joke with the dragon poro yet?

We know how long you've waited for this and as a previous Swain main where a lot didn't carry over... giving you the upvote just to see if you can make it happen.

Cheers.
