What are the chances Mordekaiser's gonna have a German accent/manner of speech in his VGU?
I found myself reading up on some lore tidbits regarding Noxus and the time period between the Fall of Shurima, the Darkin Wars and the first mention of the Noxii tribes and something that really struck me was Riot themselves describing Proto-Noxian as being very similar to German.
Which got me thinking. Mordekaiser already has a very germanic name, with it being a compound word of Mord(e) for Murder and Kaiser for Emperor; making him the Murder Emperor. Now, I know back in the day Riot didn't really think about the bigger picture when it came to naming champions and fleshing out their place in Runeterra's lore, but with them trying to fix that in recent years they might see this as an opportunity to use Mordekaiser as more than just a new big bad Sauron ripoff.
Giving him obvious germanic influences in his speech, be it through simply accent or even some Proto-Noxian words similar to how Xayah and Rakan use Vastayan in their VO, could go a long way to make Mordekaiser more unique and really amp up the image of this ancient titan of the old world.
Besides, Aatrox has a, and I quote, "ancient" accent himself, which means that Riot won't really shy away from giving champions with no clear-cut manner of talking some form of dialect or accent in their rework.
And Mordekaiser would really benefit from something like that, hell, it seems too fitting to not be exploited once they finally update him in the near future.
