As much as I love that you're "improving" Pentakill Morde's model, I don't really like the helmet

I love how the skin was modernized but the orange tips on the helmet look/feel out of place and make him look overly goofy. I know that you wanted to go with the molten metal/flame theme for his look but he just doesn't pull it off, not with that old Rig.

So, could we please just leave the helmet a uniform Grey/Silver? Overall the skin looks so much better but the horns are really off-putting

Yeah, Morde was like the edgiest champion when the average champion looked like Fiddle/Ryze/Pantheon. Now they're making things like Kayn that's two edgelords for the price of one and we have titans like Hecarim and Nautilus in the game that make Morde look like an ant in scale.

Hey folks,

We appreciate the feedback! I grabbed your feedback and brought it back to the team for discussion this morning, and we're all aligned with swapping his helmet back to the silver that it was before.

We had wanted to better align his model with the splash, but without having VFX support, it came out looking less than optimal.

You'll see these changes hitting PBE Monday. :)

Will you make it the same (bronze-ish) color as the spikes on his shoulder pads?

It'll be more aligned with them, yes.

They should make the color match with the red of his mace

they should make the color match with the blood of his enemies

DW, they're gonna add back in his orange crotch spike as well so that it ties it all together.

The helmet color is weird. Idk why they don't make his shoulder armor on fire like in the splash.

Other than that the touch up is great

it's not his helmet, in fact it's Swain stun on top of his head :p

Meh, I honestly don't mind the horns at all... They look mostly fine, however I find the eyes a bit too big and not... well... edgy enough (for a lack of a better word) They are tad too rounded.

I does look rather strange :/

Would look better if it matched his other spikes. Now that you've pointed it out it's all I see.

Upside of the updates is Sona finally got her long hair. It's been too long.

i think perhaps they should hold off on the burning helmet until AFTER they give him a vgu where he has flaming particles to go along with it

The eyes look goofy as well, like they're facing opposite directions.

Perhaps it's just a temporary change until his VGU. Give them time, perhaps they'll remove the molten tips (unless they'll do it later in the PBE) and give him the rockin' fire cape.

I've given them over 6 months for a bug fix. How much time are we talking 2020?

I am more concerned about the light purple tone and brown for a metal skin... It does not feel metal, when it should feel "METAL AF!" for Mordekaiser. I mean... Blue/purple shoulderpads? Brown leather gloves? Orange helmet? I would be fine with the orange part if it was animated, then it would be more of a homage to Rammstein and their insane pyro fireworks for their costumes or something along those lines. It becomes even more apparent when the new Pentakill Kayle skin is done so well in all black : /

I have the same opinion about Karthus, Mordekaiser and Yorick too: they go too far away from the all-black metal look. Bring them back... BACK IN BLACK! #PentakillBackInBlack

Yeah..well at least this is something even i can agree on.

I think they should make it a darker orange/red. Maybe like a rust color or like Hextech Galio color? I don't know, its just too bright, and doesn't even match the axe.

I don't see an issue with the helmet really. Eyes look really wonky though.
