Honestly, Tyrant Swain (And Swain in General) makes me really hyped for Mordekaiser's VGU

If there's one team at Riot that's always on point it's the Art/Lore team, bringing characters really to life. Every movement of Swain feels, well...Swain Every line is beautifully voice acted Every visual effect fits the champion

And of course there's this skin. A true epitome of a Undead Tyrant that revels in devouring Souls. Ghastly particles, imposing Armour and regal attire are rounded off by a wicked voice filter.

He really looks the part of "TYRANT" and I'm really looking forward to what the VGU team might have in store for the TIN Tyrant.

Also, just look at this armor design on base swain https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XS1ERx6-W-Y/WmeYpEJw7VI/AAAAAAAA3iM/hiOZU_hoI68jJwuF2Y3Nx7RvK_ebCkOZgCLcBGAs/s1600/50000.jpg Simple, yet oh so very effective in its intended purpose of showcasing a general in battle attire

Doesn't everything make you hyped for Mordekaiser's VGU?

"You think you do but you don't."

Trust me, having your main removed from the game sucks. At first you dont realize this, blinded by all the hype and great visuals. But then, one day, when your excitation for this new/reworked champion fades away it will hit you like a truck - there is no going back. You will never be able to play your favourite pile of pixels again. The champion you loved is gone.

I went through all this and it is the main reason my interest in League is almost gone now.

Dude, they are going to turn Mordekaiser into a marshmallow monster that attacks by throwing jelly beans around. He'll look more like Zac/Malphite. Still hyped? A lot of these reworks are completely removing the champs from the game.

In before Mord becomes an ADC.

. . . In function, not just name.

I’m gonna miss Mordekaiser though. As long as he still steals ghosts I’ll be content though.

I am excited about the visuals of Mordekaiser VGU but not about the gameplay.

My only disappointment with the rework is no direct lines for Mordo; though I feel like they are trying to find a way to hash him out properly, and they wouldn't want to regress on things.

I'm sure they already took away Rakan' VO for Swain's possible Vastayan magicks.

His Tyrant in-game model looks so awful though imo.

I really, really hope we get a Morde VGU announcement in the next couple days. It's been a while since the last new shadow isles champion, Yorick was a couple years ago, the time is about right, especially with Swain saying "A king remains in the mist and another marches,"clearly talking about how Mordekaiser is marching outwards while the Ruined King is enslaved on the Isles. I loved Morde before the season 5 update, and even after I have fun on him from time to time, but with the tech Riot has now they could do so much awesome stuff with his awesome concept. Fingers crossed the Kayle/Morgana update that has been hinted at is later in the year after Morde.
