What I'd like to see included in Mordekaiser's (unlikely) VU
With more and more champions being released and reworked Mordekaiser's starting to show his age, a thin layer of rust already adorning that once flawless Metal shell. It's no secret that his Model hasn't really aged that well but the recent Texture Update did help at alleviating that issue. But for how long?
Mordekaiser's VU wouldn't even have to reimagine him, seeing that his grim, dark silhouette's already so easily identified and his helmet has even been used as the cover art for Pentakill's smite and Ignite album. He's iconic, he has a theme and an unique look, which should simply be brought up to snuff in the league of fancy visual effects like Poppy's adorable face and Yasuo's smooth animations.
General design Morde's armor needs to be blackened iron like the shell burnt by a pyre. His enemies had treid to char his remains and reduce them to a crisp but they only succeeded at blackening his armor, making its spiked exterior better reflect the soul of the man within. Yet he should have some dark red hue's mixed into his design, especially his fiery eyes, filled with malice, cruelty and unyielding will to dominate. His cape, befitting for a tyrant should be more of a mantle and show his status as the Murder Emperor that ruled most of Valoran at the peak of his power, yet should be ragged, seemingly being centuries old. Heavy plates adorned with vicious looking spikes make up most of his armor mixed with the demonic skulls seen on his knee caps, belt and back.
Animations -I Liked the part of his lore in which Mordekaiser backhanded a Demacian Knight, it should become his crit animation, being rather funny for an overlord of destruction -When Morde does die he should simply leave his armor with a growled "NOOOO" like he does now but his darkened soul should simply vanish, leaving an empty suit of armor behind. Quotes like "I SHALL RETURN" or "DEATH WON'T STOP ME" should be the last words he utters instead of the usual champion death screams. -His Respawn on the other hand should be his black soul emerging from the fountain where his armored plate come flying towards him, him being like an arcane loadstone where they'd clad him in Iron -For his Recall I'd say he'd need to triumphantly hold his Mace like a Banner
Voice Over -I don't know Riot's policy regarding VA's but Adam Harrington should be kept as Morde's voice, he is a great actor. -His voice should still have this lingering sound of contempt and superior undertone as well as being so eerie, rather than brutal growls. -Mordekaiser should retain some of his older Quotes, especially the funnier ones but they should be made his jokes; ->This whole living thing is highly overrated ->You only need to click once FOOL ->I Like my weapons how I like my music, heavy and METAL
-He should reference The black knight from Monty Python when his shield is being drained: ->Just a flesh wound ->'Tis but a scratch ->I'm Invincible!
Pentakill Mordekaiser should have EVERY Metal reference Riot could come up with to truly be an ode to the Master of Metal
Now, I like discussing Mordekaiser so feel free to add what YOU'd like to see for Morde's update in 2030.
