Mordekaiser and his many skins

Poolparty Sauron·7/2/2017, 7:26:43 PM·21 votes·17,757 views

With the upcoming Urgot rework which will update all his skins(not that he has many) i would like to talk about a very requested and warranted rework Mordekaiser Now Mordes visuals will surely be updated into something badass but i want to talk about his skins and the concepts behind them and how Riot can improve on them

  1. Dragon Knight- a basic recolor but it deserves so much more,so what do we do with it? Simple,put it in line with the modern Dragonslayer skins or more to be more precise their overall look and feel. Imagine Morde in armor made from dragonbone and steel with a cape made from dragonskin with some fiery effects,I would easily pay 1350 for that
  2. Infernal - yet another recolor with the potential for so much more from the name alone As the name suggests this skin should be scary looking as in turning Morde into a demon lord or simply strap him into some demonic armor complete with horns,spikes,chains ya know all the usual stuff.
  3. Lord - now with this one im a bit confused as it is a reference to Sauron(me) but nothing on this skin indicates that it is I would say make the reference more obvious as in making you look like movie Sauron
  4. Pentakill - honestly not much to be said here but to keep the general look but with a better model
  5. King of Clubs - same as Pentakill

Anyway these are all my ideas and feel free to post your own and i do apologize for any typing or wording problems above Thx for reading [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

This is one of the most exciting things about updates in my opinion. We get to update a beloved champion and also rapid-fire revamp their whole skin catalogue; looking for opportunities to add bells n whistles and strengthen skin thematics. I've actually joined core gameplay recently so my focus is shifting from new skin thematics to champions current catalogues.

Keep in mind this is all theoretical and my own personal thoughts on Morde

All the ideas in this thread are great and along the lines of my own thoughts (Clubs/Pentakill are already thematically strong, make Infernal 'infernal', Dragon Knight some slayer variant, Lord lightning/epic sort of like Tyrant Swain or Overlord Malz). I have a question that I see would need to be answered - Infernal Mordekaiser is currently 520rp but if we made it today it'd be at least 950 with full fiery vfx. I could ask how you as players would feel about that change in price but chances are this crew already have the skin, but if you didn't have the skin how would you feel about Riot replacing that 520 with a higher tier version with full fire vfx? How important is it in your own opinion that Morde have a 520 skin in his catalogue?

I'd love to one day see a primordial Mordekaiser skin , you know from when he was a warlord and before we became undead.
