Why does Riot hate this champion and it's players so much?

Probably because she's not gonna be busy doing much this Harrowing, like Fizz, Tahm and Nautilus during Burning Tides.

Or Skarner and Amumu during Shurima.

And look how well that went for them? I'd say count your blessing that they've been spared a re-write if you're averse to such things.

Although he has been dancing around both Metal and Death themes for years without really delivering on either one.

I totally don't know why that comment was deleted? Below was my message.

"So, not only are we changing his role from top to bot, but his whole theme is being changed now too- but he's NOT getting a Sion level rework, despite an entire reshaping of his identity.

I mean, I love third hit Q, Mordekaiser, I like him being a slow beast that when he hits you crushes you, but is easily kited, but are we just going to erase formerKaiser from the game without giving him the full treatment of a rework he deserves?"

And now that you mention it: You're totally right. The only metal he had was making little maces, his shield, and his old W. The Ult NEVER made sense with "metal."

A change is overdue. Master of Metal cut him short and he's got some big whoop story changes coming.

I thought Kindred was 'lord of death'.

Well Kindred's more like "God of Death". They are death after all.

Kinda speaks to the dynamic a bit; Morde's so confident and powerful he believes he could lord over death and that which holds dominion over it; Kindred, or perhaps others feel this way about him.

I get the feeling that they are setting up Mord to either be the Ruined King or the one who betrayed the king. "Master of Metal" doesn't really fit that direction, not does it fit the spectral dark paladin theme he currently has after the ability and particle updates.

Master of metal was kinda outdated,since many of his abilities don't have to do with metal anymore(and his ult never had),I think lord of death faces the opposite problem in that it would make metal moves look out of place. Sure since his last update mordes metal effects were mostly lost(still somewhat present in that his W still has metal flying around his enemies),but that was also a change that is still disliked by some.

Paladin of pain wouldn't face either of these problems,because death,pain and metal all go hand in hand(if you think of torture you are most likely going to think of metallic torture devices),so metal effects would be free to rerturn whenever riot saw it fit.
