Something that always makes me die a little inside

Looking at those badass Mordekaiser splashes in the loading screen... https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/lolesports_gamepedia_en/b/b9/Mordekaiser_3.jpg https://lolskinshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/MordekaiserLoadScreen_5.png

And then seeing how they actually look in game

Really goes to show how much I just love the "idea" of Mordekaiser. He looks like an indestructible titan in his splashes, making you think he'd be this towering colossus in game that's extremely durable and just walks over the opposition. And then we get this tin can with weird proportions and a kit that's all over the place.

This shows really well WHY Morde needs a VGU, he has a solid character idea and an endearing champion fantasy, but he just does NOT deliver on it.

Now excuse me while I touch myself inappropriately to this Aatrox teaser.

Riot can't afford to do VGU that fast, they are a small indie company after all. [sg-ezreal]

I know it might still be a bit away, but when that Mordekaiser VGU finally comes and hits PBE... just imagine it all, his new model and splashes that are probably gonna be even better than his current ones (namely base, Pentakill and King of Clubs), a new refreshing kit that fits his fantasy, Pentakill Mordekaiser becomming as awesome as Pentakill Yorick is after his update, his recolor skins actually becomming something cool with a theme, new VO that can finally tell the story of the character he actually is in the lore, metal af login screen. It's gonna be good.

Don't loose hope buddy, just like me with NUNU ;) I'm betting Morde to be rework next year though alongside Pantheon.

I'd be surprised if Pantheon and Mordekaiser were not the next two VGU after Nunu.

Surprised and enraged :D

Im sure his update is on the way :) your an awesome person dude I've been on these boards for years and you are definitely a defining part of the league community.

Well you can wait until he will be reworked and will turn into a clown, completely different character with only few resemblance to his old self. JUST LIKE NEW AATROX...

Considering he's a walking piece of armor, i wouldn't think too highly of the person hiding inside of it.

Morde is getting another rework some time in the foreseeable future given this one 'doesn't feeling so good', so that's that. His next rework will include a visual update.

It's in my experience that the majority of champion loading splashes look alot better than they do ingame.
