'Bout a HUNDRED, give or take, METAL references for Mordekaiser's VO update

Malicious Metal·9/17/2018, 9:12:22 PM·40 votes·17,087 views

You know, now that Mordekaiser's basically confirmed for a VGU come 2019 I see no point in me doing any more VGU threads....On his gameplay that is, 'cause I already went into great detail in my last one on that topic. (This one> https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/lLJWuEu6-one-morde-thread-to-rule-them-all)

So, today we're taking a look at another shade of my unhealthy obsession passion for Mordekaiser as a character. What you may ask? Well, you clearly didn't read the title if you have to ask me such a stupid question.

It's all about Metal references of course! When Mordekaiser lost his title of Master of Metal the community was shook, but Morde remains one of the, if not THE MOST Metal champion in the game, so why not honor his former title by including all sorts of juicy Metal references in his VO?

Now, if these are too cheesy, and trust me, they bloody will, they might as well get the Pentakill Karthus treatment and only be put on his skin as additional VO. But I'm digressing, if you got any suggestions of your own please feel free to add them to the list!

I think this thread illustrates why you love Mordekaiser more than any other. The sheer love of METAL in this OP comes through loud and screaming.

How about some Ghost references?

Taunting enemy Noxian - "Can't you see that you're lost without me?" Taunting Volibear - "I can feel the thunder raging in your heart." Taunting Nocturne - "You cannot hide in the darkness." Taunting Lissandra - "You and I see eye to eye." Taunting Darkin (or Morgana ) - "You are cast down from the heavens to the ground." Killing Morgana - "Blackened feathers, falling down." Taunting Twitch - "I'm coming for your soul, filthy rodent." Taunting Nocturne - "Time to impose on your slumber." Taunting TahmKench - "You're the possessor of avarice, I'm the ruler of the earth." Killing Amumu - "My mummy dust!" Taunting Kindred - "I was carried on a Wolf's back, here to corrupt humanity." Dominating Shaco - "A puppet with no will at all." Taunting a faction leader - "Crestfallen kings and queens, comforting in their faith. Unbeknownst to them is the presence of the wraith."

I believe last time a post like this came up I suggested the following.

Upon Resurrection: They tried to kill the metal. BUT THEY FAILED! or I shall smite them to the ground.

Edit: Also not having a Sabaton based Pantheon interaction? Come now, they have a song just titled "Sparta" and reference Spartans in about 3 others.

Being a major metal-head (why I was drawn to Morde in the first place), I love this. I was expecting to see Dio here, but the fact that you threw in Blind Guardian, Manowar and Hammerfall brings a tear to my, have my upvote kind sir.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Otivnaig9/18/2018, 12:03:39 PM1 votes

U're on the Classic/Heavy/Power side of the line. I'm more on the extreme metal side, so i would like to see some reference to GODS of black metal like Burzum, Mayhem and Immortal (this ones are PERFECT, with their lyrics about war in a nordic snowy fantasy hellish land). Maybe u know, but black metal is pretty a lot about Tolkien and middle earth (look at black metal bands names XD), so is perfect for a game based on war. Tolkien is the real lord of this side of extreme music and Morde is pretty much Sauron. But if rito goes with only HALF of the references u put, i would be very happy.

Nice fucking work.

Much as I would bang my head if all these lyrics made it into Morde's VO, the one factor that matters most is that all of his ability names HAVE TO BE METAL REFERENCES. Please don't screw this one up Rito.
