Riot, please go the extra mile with Morde's VGU and make his Pentakill Skin a legendary
Now, I'd be willing to pay an ultimate skin price for a legendary Mordekaiser skin BUT this isn't just about Morde lacking a 1850 skin.
With Morde's rework his title was changed to "The Iron Revenant" but the community still sees the "Master of Metal" theme as one of his most defining features. I agree with Riot that making him "The Master of Metal" would simply result in him being a caricature of a champion as his entire identity would be nothing more but a gimmick.
But this silliness is what made Mordekaiser so very charming in the first place and removing it from his character wouldn't exactly be received well by a lot of people. So, how about we find the perfect middle ground that would allow the narrative Team to deliver on the Iron Revenant we deserve while also keeping an old piece of League history alive through a skin?
It would be something akin to a Traditional Skin or Captain Gangplank as it preserves something cool about a champion BUT embraces it and pushes it to the limit as a skin that actually works without being just a different version of the champion's base skin.
Giving him ALL the References and giving him sick metal-themed particles would truly be befitting such an old champion as Mordekaiser and be the perfect farewell to his old self when his VGU finally comes around. Not to mention his skin catalog being rather "meh" and lacking any skins with new particles and VO despite him being one of the oldest champions in the game.
So, how about you just embrace the Master of Metal and give him the skin he deserves when it's time to say farewell to pizza feet and the silliness that's the current Mordekaiser?
I hear gravediggers are really into Soilwork.
I'm the real Master of Puppets...
I have a Masterplan even you won't see coming.
