Mordekaiser was a VERY complex champion, and one of the goals was to make him more approachable while trying to keep the feelings/essence of him in-tact.

Morde's new W is increased based on the damage he deals, so the number of targets nearby can for sure increase the output of the spell.

I still think there is a lot of skill expression in the new Morde, it will just take some time for players to discover.

A lot of the problems with the Fiora version weren't balance. Some of it was that the game stopped and everyone had to watch this 1v1 (Which was pretty disruptive). Also, Fiora is the "Grand Dullest", so she would win almost every single 1v1 possible.

The Finals and LEC play on local servers all the time :) Thanks for your concern but we've been using the LAN client forever.

Thanks so much!

Juggernauts are usually more powerful in lower skill games, we don't think Mordekaiser will be very different in that respect.

Justin landed on this one pretty early on actually.

Certainly. We conjured up the idea of him going to the death realm with his ult very early in development, and in the early stages, the ghost was virtually a "must have." So that output lived in a number of places while we iterated and tested. Sometimes, we'd have a version where if you killed someone in the death realm, you got their ghost. And that ghost output went from being a fully controllable pet to being something that followed you and just auto-attacked to something that would just be there visually giving you stats (similar to what we have now, minus the visuals).

The coolest/craziest version we tried was a passive version where any time he killed an enemy champion, their ghost would fall in line behind him and attack his target when he attacked - and he could have more than one, meaning he could ultimately enslave the entire enemy team if he was popping off.

That was really cool thematically but had a couple of major issues, the two foremost o...

WHAT AN OUTPLAY FROM PROFIT / VANDER / ROGUE.

I wish I celebrated the epicness of RGE play FIRST and THEN called out VIT, man it was so close. I will rewatch this play so many times frame by frame to see exactly how everything played out.

Almost certainly less. It's actually incredible how many bugs the old Morde had. I was told at one point he was responsible for 80% of our live bugs, and I don't think they were exaggerating.

So as long as this one is 79% of our live bugs or less, I will consider it a success on the bug-squashing front.

Yeah currently the plan is Panth>Marksmen>New Champ

we will yes

Wait Coop wtf?

We're almost 10 years on and we're still seeing new stuff coming from some of the oldest champions that exist. Well done.

Jumped into comments to find this out. Was not disappointed. Grats on the epic win. :)

Yeah, he should be starting up a new champ soon with Fuller and RiotEarp

While there’s some truly unnecessary hate here on this person’s rank, I just want to take a second and give some respect to someone who is so completely dedicated to a single champ. Grats mihabe.
