Just wondering. Is there any skin-concept or maybe even a VU in the drawing board for next year?
No need for details or anything (I know you are busy and people ask this mind of thing a lot), i just wish to know if us, Mordekaiser players, can expect some love for the Master of Metal in the near future. Been 3 years since his last skin :<
Huehuehue
RiotIronStylus4 votesNothing immediately. We've got different champions prioritized at the moment aside from Mord. He's what we consider a "high value target" however, knowing that we'd have a pretty clear direction for him, visually and thematically at least. However, he currently sits in the position of a wider scope project, so I don't see anything major happening with him in the near future.
5G8Nri0B544 votesIf I have any input at all about Mordekaiser, it is this.
He has by FAR the hugest discrepency between ability name and what they actually are. Let's take his E for example. His ability should either show him sucking his enemies to death like a destructive siphon, or it should be renamed "Mace to the Balls" to reflect how he summons maces from underground to smack his foes in the nuts.
I know they're supposed to be obscure as heck rock references. But if Lux's "Finales Funkeln" is considered too obscure, then so will Mordekaiser abilities.
Cuix1 votesAlso, Finales Funkeln actually sounded cool, while carrying the feeling of an ultimate's name. Morde's ability names don't even have that, imo.
Quality41302 votesObscure ? How are Megadeth, Metallica, Black Sabbath and Motörhead obscure ?
And a Siphon technically works both ways, not just "sucking".
If there's anything that should remain the same in Morde, it's the name of his abilities. Don't just call for a namechange just because you don't get references that are crystal clear for a big part of the community.
Toa of Death1 votesI know you've talked about cho before but is their going to be at least a new splash art for cho anytime soon? Maybe switch out his current one with the chinese splash?

Real?.... so you guys need like, more then 1 year to give a champ a VU, on a 3d model that has less poligons then a PS2 character with the textures from an N64?
Entire indie games are made with the time frame it takes you guys to work just on 1 misserable champion, wich i find unacceptable but whatever i dont see any change in policy in the near future so why bother
Ex Infernalis1 votesI think it's fairly safe to say there is. I remember reading that Rito plan to re-do all of their pizza-feet champions over the course of time.
Dark Trennow1 votesWhy doesn't riot ever care about Mord? Seriously, they haven't touched him since like season 2. Can he please get some love? He has the very definition of PIZZA FEET. Not to mention he hasn't gotten a skin in 3 years.
Jakethenight3 votesWeirdest thing is, he's almost a face character. He appears in almost all promotional art, and is shown as a beefy melee tank rather than a tanky mage.
kingpenn1 votesive even seen morde's face on riot point cards at gas stations also i was hoping with his pentakill skin update he could get a backing animation nothing big just maybe him playing a guitar solo until he backs or something
