MORDEKAISER MY BELOVED. My first M7 character back when that meant something. I love his design, gameplay, voicelines. It is a lil weird how they never have a color for him, green in League, blue in LoR, he was red in TFT
red in tft was prolly just for visuals to match with the other units blue should be his canonical color and honestly i hope they update him in league and wr someday it's not hard
@@imStorm3rif I understand it correctly in LoR he is blue because he is in his death realm and there he’s more of a spirit. In league he is portrayed as he was brought back to Runeterra and that sickly greenish color represents undeath in the world. I think it would make more sense for him to become blue during his ult only
@@sspectre8217 @dixonhall447 idk i think he's supposed to be blue because that's the color of souls/spirit magic, ruination magic is the closest thing to necromancy in runeterra but the creation of that thing had a world rune involved something which mordekaiser does not possess
I hate how Mordekaiser talks in LoR. His voiceover is league is so superior it's kind of sad. He is waaaay more imposing when his demeanor is calm and collected, not shouting his helmet off.
9:42 the fun thing about new rift herald is that instead of it going into the direction you point the arrow in it starts going the direction in which your character last looked before entering Very fun and intuitive! 😎
I still think they coulda kept old man Viego. I think he coulda been really interesting as an actual loving old husband who threw away everything for his queen. You don't have to neccesarily go big and bulky, but I'd have liked this older 'I ruled the world once, and I burned it down to save my Queen' character. Its much harder to invest in a brat.
I guess it sells better. And bratty prince turned Necro-evil is a decent idea, but it does feel a bit lame. Basicly Mord looks like a Final boss in MMO and Viego looks like a final boss in some Gacha
So, design wise, he'd look like Thoran from AFK Journey? If anything, they could've kept both ideas: devoted elderly king in base form, becomes fanatical romantic youth when ulting.
@@patrickcarter2829 That would be interesting if the magic that is keeping him alive also gives him youth at the most powerful points of his kit. I always thought it'd be neat if it was kind of like a Catherine and Peter relationship where the queen was actually the really competent one. Less toxic though. The king is a good man who keeps it all together because of his wife and when he loses her its all gonna go to hell so between love and the fact he will fail without her he goes on this crusade. Have lines like "They always underestimated how far I'd go" when he ults and gets that younger form.
the thing is, his immaturity is what lead to basically everything that happenned in his story; making him older would be weird and clash with how he's supposed to be an immature king
@@joaorodrigues7993 thats the point. Im saying change the plot to not be based around him being an idiot. Make it be based around actual love and desperation instead of a dumbass who dooms the world.
One thing to point out for his coloration is that he explicitly states when meeting a shadow isles champion “the same magic that binds you to this realm, frees me to walk between”, so during 10:30 when you were talking about that I think it’s worth pointing out that he IS related to the shadow isles purely because he uses the same magic. That’s why he looks so similar to them. Unlike Viego who is trapped by death magic, he has full control of it, and I think that’s why they decided to color him the way they did. In short I believe he looks similar to shadow isles champs cuz it’s meant to show he’s using the same magic as them.
I think Mordekaiser having similar colors to Shadow Isles makes sense. Shadow Isles and Mordekaiser are both basically undead ghouls, which nobody else really is. The demons and the Void aren't really based around theat kind of thing. Granted, the Shadow Isles color mostly comes from the mist, but it's fine, it being a color of undeath works just fine. They may not be directly connected, but they do still have that connection. Sion is undead and he has a red coloration, but that's why I specified undead ghouls rather than just general undead, cuz Sion is more of a zombie.
The best "dark lord" of league hands down. Mordekaiser is just so evil to the spine and sometimes that's good enough for a villain. My man refused to die and prefered to create his own death dimension, that's metal af. I love his armor, his kit and the ominous voicelines. Cause he IS gonna get you and there's nothing that's gonna stop him.... unless you're leblanc i guess lol. Me personally prefer the league design, the LoR one is not bad but definetely unnecesary. 14:16 JESUS CHRIST THAT DAMAGE LMAO
I think Necrit made a video on why he is blue in LOR. And in that video he talked about dead spirits in the afterlife beeing blue and dead spirits in the "real" world beeing green. I dont remember the source or reason he gave. But it would make sense, because in the LOR cardart is he is in the afterlife. I think the version in LOL is in the "real" world(its after his third return to runeterra "thrice reborn" and all) and therefore he is green.
I have recently become addicted to Full AP Morde as an APC. It works especially well in ultimate spellbook, where you dont have to deal with surviving until level 3, and you can fix most of his weaknesses with the ultimates. But it's very fun! I just rush stormsurge, and nobody ever expect just how much damage you deal, it's so fun
BRASIL NÚMERO UM CARALHO 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I love this character so much, not because of the memes, not because he is a fucking Raid Boss, that man is almost a god. but in a evil way :3
Mordekaiser is the reason i started playing league i just loved his Design and the German Voice actor was also amazing. I get when people say he is annoying to play against but i will always love my badass Metal Giant
@@mr.thecoon1956same. It was my very first caracter that i played in ranked with. Now he is my second favourite because the only caracter that i really like is jhin.
I once heard somebody talking about „an edgy character done right” and Mordekaiser was used as an example of a AMAZING edge lord. Mostly because he’s played very seriously and he’s cool
Mordekaiser was the champion that got me into league; seeing his rework pop up in my UA-cam feed sent me down the league rabbit hole and has led me to being as addicted as I am to this game. While these days I prefer udyr and voli and ORNN and Gangplank, Morde will always hold a special place in my heart (especially since I made him the big bad of my first DND campaign)
the thing is mordekaiser is green because is one of the Brasil flag color in legends of runeterra is blue another of the colors we just need one more game where he is yellow
Mordekaiser is QUITE LITERALLY a mortal that became Bhaal, Bane and Myrkul in one being and he manipulates the living world for profit in future plans of world dominion BUT NOPE he is just Thanos in hiatus until Riot want to use him to sell skins about Sentinels of Light, LIKE REALLY he could got any story in any region since he is between dimension LOL like with Shen or with the mages of Demacia or Shurima since they got like 3 secret cities kek
Do you remember the "gameplay update" they were gonna do with him by swapping his passive and w? I do. Old Morde always gaining shields and heals just played into his fantasy even more. Whenever you thought he was dead, he would just somehow live through it, he's unstoppable after all.
I think in regards to Mordekaiser's colour theme, they should have gone for either Nuclear Green or a similarly bright tone of Purple. Mordekaiser is supposed to be a World Ending Threat - an ancient warrior king who conquered so much of the world, who returned to the material plane through almost sheer force of will and even now those who remember him fear his possible return as they can't think of any other way to stop him (I reckon if you threw him into a void monster's gullet it would work) Anyway, I think a really good way to get this across would be Nuclear Green flame erupting from him - it's bright green would distinguish itself from the rest of the Shadow Isles, and really reflect the parallels Mordekaiser has with Xerath - They are both highly powerful mages who have their energy-based essense bound into a container that acts as their physical form. Crackling nuclear green lightning to signal Mordekaiser's similarities to Xerath as a being of powerful magic, while also showing his links to the realm of the dead.
All I'm saying is that old Morde would be quite frightening with the current itemization. He used to scale with AD so I could see unorthodox builds with Sundered Sky or Shojin's Spear being surprisingly effective.
I loved his old ultimate. I still wish some day they can bring it back in some way (yes technically Viego passive is that, because August said its a modernization of the old Mordekaiser ult, but i personally don't count it). Like they could make it like if you kill a champion in the Death Realm you also get their soul as a controllable pet (instead of stats)
Nicky, i believe i've found the proper way to use shelly's charge, i think you have to aim and then left/right click once you have decided your trayectory, at least thats how it stopped to just completely twist in the opposite direction i was aiming. Hope this helps
from the lore that we know the souls from the LoR is the same color as the mordekaiser is green but a little more blueish and because his spells and weapon made out of those souls it kinda makes sense to make them green but a little more blueish
I always say, Mordekaiser has more to do with the Shadow Isles than most, and they should've keep that as in, when the Ruined King was finally defeated, if they could somehow seal, ban or exorcise the Shadow Isles mist, all of that should end up at Morderkaiser's front entrance like "I've been waiting for you, now we can really get to work", and you get Mordekaiser with Hecarim, Thresh and Karthus as his generals, maybe even throw Kallista and Ledros for the insane but also mind controlled angle. Now you get a Runeterra who thinks they're free from the mist, on a "age of peace", when they just delivered to Mordekaiser his means of entering our realm, and possibly not even Leblanc thought there weren't people capable of stopping the Ruined King and the mist, and she just notices what the hell that means at the very last second in a "YOU'VE JUST DOOMED US ALL" way
PSA: Am probably too late but for 9:42 - HERALD ISN'T LIKE NUNU W (For some reason) you have to click on herald to start the channel to get in, THEN RIGHT CLICK IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO while channeling in order to direct it. It's not like Nunu w / Sion ult where you just point your mouse in the direction you want to go in
Mordekaiser isn't part of the shadow isles but is still using ruination. Proven by his interaction dialogue towards shadow isles champs. "The same magic that chains you to this realm frees me to walk between."
I want my old morde back. I just don't have fun with him anymore with his current kit. Being this goofy overlord who could control the spirits of the dead was such a fun concept idea. Gave me LotR vibes with Sauron and his ring wraiths.
Even if Morde doesn’t have any ties with the shadow isles, having the same teal color makes sense, since both these factions manipulate and torture souls, instead of giving them rest like Kindred, or playing with them like Lillia (I guess).
I actually like the blue color Mordekaiser. Shadow Isles green represents more of defeated soul, the dead that gave up on life, became corrupted by the mists and are enslaved to Viego. Vibrant blue shows of how much will is in Mordekaiser which is part of his origin, the man who willed himself to life. Bright blue shows of exactly how indominable he trully is.
Morde really does just hit that perfect thematic fantasy of undead tyrant. Honestly he has my favorite voicelines in all of league, his first move lines are just fantastic. The VA for him really did good. Its always a little bit of a shame that we lost the old morde ult, but I think we got such a good character out of the loss of old morde that its fine. Most of the updates from then and before were like that. You lost something, sure. But you gained a lot too.
9:42 You need to actually left click on the direction you want to go to. I looked it up a couple of days ago because I had gotten so sick of her going the opposite way whenever I use her XD
I always associated that "shadow isle" green with the color of death and spirits in general for League lore. I never thought the Shadow Isles had solo rights to it; that color is just how death is expressed by Riot. At least, it was way less confusing than old Skarner who TOTALLY looked like a void monster, but wasn't.
I love how Mordekaiser conquered the world saw that the afterlife sucked and decided to create his own kingdom in the afterlife. Only to then go back to the living world to re-conquer it just to get even more followers for his realm. This dood's actions are so funny the icing on the cake is Leblanc being the Starscream to Mord's Megatron.
Still cracks me up that, going off his name, the mythical and otherworldly language of the dead - Och'nun, is literally just somewhat scuffed German. He ain't sending anyone to Brazil, they're going straight to Bavaria
There is strength in cruelty and weakness in kindness. Buy gold, betray losers, sacrifice black sheep. only dishonest sharks exist for true black sheep
Mordekaiser is my one trick. Had mastery 7 like 4 months after i picked him up in 2022(?). so far 3 out of the 4 total pentakills i’ve gotten have been because of him.
Mordekaiser is my favorite league champion since S3 and i really like the rework (gameplay wise the juggernaut update with dragon soul and triple Q was the best imo) But the only thing i wish they kepted more closely too was that iconic helmet design with shorter horns, and the worst part about it for me is that on the splash art he looks alright becaus the horns are "shorter" in terms of cuting them out by workspace, but in game they are too big for me...
I think the legends of runeterra design makes him look more like a sorcerer than a warrior. looks like power and energy is pouring out of him and covering him, he even has a little waist cloak around him made out of the energy.
11:07 I think orange would be a mistake. Too close to traditional hell/demon vibes and that’s both boring and tread ground. I agree that there’s a color communication issue tho, and I’m not really sure how to solve it
Morde is cannonically the strongest entity in all of the Runeterra universe. Afterall, he has full controll over the death realm and everything will die. He is basicly inevitable.
The green is perfect for him, the shadow isles is the nexus of un death within runeterra. So the green is un death not specifically shadow isles. So green for both is great.
On the note about Morde's redesign in LoR, I personally despise it. Specifically the helmet, his current reworked design in LoL makes him look threatening. I think it's particularly how his helmet only lets us see two small glowing eyes, it makes him seem more imperceptible and enigmatic imo. With his LoR design, while it was established he wished to one day return to Runeterra, I feel the concept artists (massive respect when I say this) might have leaned too far with the ethereal ghost in armor vibe. It permeates through the whole design to where I can't really get as clear a sense of what I'm looking at minus the obvious points where armor starts and ends. It would be like giving fiddlesticks' caged essence full focus, completely abandoning the cobbled scarecrow motif. If they ended up only changing the helmet for LoR morde, I think he'd retain more of his original theming.
I just cannot describe how angry his LoR re-design makes me. It is bafflingly ugly, just indescribably hideous, and on top of that is a re-design of one of the best designs in the entire League of Legends setting. Whoever made it should genuinely be fired ASAP
Tbh I think they went perfect with how mord in in LoL, some of the points are valid, but he's undead spirit rather than a runeterra spirit. There's a lot that's looks goofy or meh on the LOR design, which is surprising
Let's be real, they gave him the green because he WAS going to be tied to the shadow isles and then they decided it needed to be it's own distinct region because everything needed to be a distinct region back then and they wanted to do their shitty Akshan Viego world event. It would have been dramatically better for them to stay the course and actually make him the big bad instead of going "uhhhhh yeah that's Camavoran magic or something, who knows, just a coincidence, here's a terrible redesign"
After Necrit's videos Mord's LoR design makes sence to me. Well, mostly. He's blue cuz souls are blue. He's green on the surface cuz that's how souls look in the overvorld. Kinda how that deep sea fish that looks like a sad man only looks that way up here because of the pressure messes it up and deep underwather it looks fine (like a semi normal fish)
Bro. All I want is 2 OMEGA LEVEL EVILS fighting. Like Imagine MordeKaiser and his army vs the Void. And imagine Mordekaiser becoming a pseudo messiah for being the only one that can fight the void or something goofy like that.
I don't see the problem with green honestly. Yes it is the same as shadow islands but turns out the thing with shadow islands is in the same line, undead souls trapped in the realm of the living. Red is more for demonic stuff, purple for the void and blue for hextech/magic. Green aura for the undead theme and red banners for Noxus I think is perfect.
I dont think he should be tied to noxus in his design at all he didn't have anything to do with he creation of noxus he just built a fortress that noxus built theyre civilization around when he died and the black rose or whatever they're called is still in noxus but they were apart of mordekaisers's empire and I think he should have the same colors in terms of ghosty bits as shadow isles because they are both apart of death but I do think the blue just looks odd I dont like runterras design a lot because of how blicky he is or how in his dialogue he's screaming a lot and doesn't have interaction with le blanc or Veigar instead he gets an interaction with volibear for some reason
befor there was the jungle item overhaul and you had 2 starting items, some knife and idk a dragon like looking thingy, said dragon thingi gave you a burn passive on jungle mobs, and that was fucking busted on morde as you could breeze trought any camp quickly, starting solo with raptors and healing of them like crazy
So we can't have two big spectral armored kings, it would be a decent explanation had we not have Yasuo, Yasuo 2, Kayn or you know, same face and same BODY syndrome with female characters. Those concept arts of Viego look amaizing.

I actually like the blue color Mordekaiser. Shadow Isles green represents more of defeated soul, the dead that gave up on life, became corrupted by the mists and are enslaved to Viego. Vibrant blue shows of how much will is in Mordekaiser which is part of his origin, the man who willed himself to life. Bright blue shows of exactly how indominable he trully is.
Morde really does just hit that perfect thematic fantasy of undead tyrant. Honestly he has my favorite voicelines in all of league, his first move lines are just fantastic. The VA for him really did good. Its always a little bit of a shame that we lost the old morde ult, but I think we got such a good character out of the loss of old morde that its fine. Most of the updates from then and before were like that. You lost something, sure. But you gained a lot too.
9:42 You need to actually left click on the direction you want to go to. I looked it up a couple of days ago because I had gotten so sick of her going the opposite way whenever I use her XD
I always associated that "shadow isle" green with the color of death and spirits in general for League lore. I never thought the Shadow Isles had solo rights to it; that color is just how death is expressed by Riot. At least, it was way less confusing than old Skarner who TOTALLY looked like a void monster, but wasn't.
Brazilian Evil Alphonse to angry to die, builds his own hell
The green works because the shadow isles is connected heavily to death and corruption, and what is Morde if not the lord of those things.
I love how Mordekaiser conquered the world saw that the afterlife sucked and decided to create his own kingdom in the afterlife. Only to then go back to the living world to re-conquer it just to get even more followers for his realm. This dood's actions are so funny the icing on the cake is Leblanc being the Starscream to Mord's Megatron.
Still cracks me up that, going off his name, the mythical and otherworldly language of the dead - Och'nun, is literally just somewhat scuffed German.
He ain't sending anyone to Brazil, they're going straight to Bavaria
Man that Tryndamere really was goin thru it huh
That jinx r was wild
apparently from his voicelines, the shadow isles and Mordekaiser share a similar magic hence probably why they are both green.
you've summoned us, nicholas.
There is strength in cruelty and weakness in kindness. Buy gold, betray losers, sacrifice black sheep.
only dishonest sharks exist for true black sheep
Wording the necromancers trying to enslave mordes soul as asking for help is wild
Good job Nick the man on never calling Mordekaiser Death Realm other names like Brazil, Shadow realm or Ohio, i know that took a lot of restrain
I kinda miss old Morde's Q. Super satisfying sounds when you landed the 3 autos. New Q doesn't feel the same
Love to see Nicky using the honor system as is meant to be used.
Mordekaiser is my one trick. Had mastery 7 like 4 months after i picked him up in 2022(?). so far 3 out of the 4 total pentakills i’ve gotten have been because of him.
With rift heard you need to right click again and confirm where its headed, I had this problem too for a while Nickolas Boy
Mordekaiser is my favorite league champion since S3 and i really like the rework (gameplay wise the juggernaut update with dragon soul and triple Q was the best imo) But the only thing i wish they kepted more closely too was that iconic helmet design with shorter horns, and the worst part about it for me is that on the splash art he looks alright becaus the horns are "shorter" in terms of cuting them out by workspace, but in game they are too big for me...
I think the legends of runeterra design makes him look more like a sorcerer than a warrior. looks like power and energy is pouring out of him and covering him, he even has a little waist cloak around him made out of the energy.
9:42 You have to spam right during the channel click to confirm the direction
the joy I feel at hearing 0:00 :')
my reward for doing trig for 2 hours
also the brazil memes are perfect! i won model un as brazil, great time

I think orange would be a mistake. Too close to traditional hell/demon vibes and that’s both boring and tread ground. I agree that there’s a color communication issue tho, and I’m not really sure how to solve it
That Jinx dragon steal tho
Morde is cannonically the strongest entity in all of the Runeterra universe. Afterall, he has full controll over the death realm and everything will die. He is basicly inevitable.
The green is perfect for him, the shadow isles is the nexus of un death within runeterra. So the green is un death not specifically shadow isles. So green for both is great.
On the note about Morde's redesign in LoR, I personally despise it. Specifically the helmet, his current reworked design in LoL makes him look threatening. I think it's particularly how his helmet only lets us see two small glowing eyes, it makes him seem more imperceptible and enigmatic imo. With his LoR design, while it was established he wished to one day return to Runeterra, I feel the concept artists (massive respect when I say this) might have leaned too far with the ethereal ghost in armor vibe. It permeates through the whole design to where I can't really get as clear a sense of what I'm looking at minus the obvious points where armor starts and ends. It would be like giving fiddlesticks' caged essence full focus, completely abandoning the cobbled scarecrow motif. If they ended up only changing the helmet for LoR morde, I think he'd retain more of his original theming.
"Something about Brazil" is so true for real
No matter my mood I always wanna watch ur league vids
I just cannot describe how angry his LoR re-design makes me. It is bafflingly ugly, just indescribably hideous, and on top of that is a re-design of one of the best designs in the entire League of Legends setting. Whoever made it should genuinely be fired ASAP
Tbh I think they went perfect with how mord in in LoL, some of the points are valid, but he's undead spirit rather than a runeterra spirit. There's a lot that's looks goofy or meh on the LOR design, which is surprising
The direction you're pointing the herald doesn't matter on its own. You need to click to send it the direction you're pointing
For the rift herald, you have to click the mouse so that it actually goes the right way. For some reason.
personally I like everything about runeterra mord except the helmet and I also like that viego is like some grieving man child
Let's be real, they gave him the green because he WAS going to be tied to the shadow isles and then they decided it needed to be it's own distinct region because everything needed to be a distinct region back then and they wanted to do their shitty Akshan Viego world event.
It would have been dramatically better for them to stay the course and actually make him the big bad instead of going "uhhhhh yeah that's Camavoran magic or something, who knows, just a coincidence, here's a terrible redesign"
i appreciate them giving his mace a more unique look though
After Necrit's videos Mord's LoR design makes sence to me. Well, mostly. He's blue cuz souls are blue. He's green on the surface cuz that's how souls look in the overvorld.
Kinda how that deep sea fish that looks like a sad man only looks that way up here because of the pressure messes it up and deep underwather it looks fine (like a semi normal fish)
Bro. All I want is 2 OMEGA LEVEL EVILS fighting. Like Imagine MordeKaiser and his army vs the Void. And imagine Mordekaiser becoming a pseudo messiah for being the only one that can fight the void or something goofy like that.
Fly high NickyBoi 🕊️ 😭😭😭
The big 4 of world ending entities
Belveth
Aatrox
Mordekaizer
Viego
Mordekaiser basically has Xerath's color palette now, people saying it's Shadow Isles are way off.
'' how could you kill your daughter like that doggy''
Arcane spoiler 😂
One of my first characters! Love Morde. His vgu was perfect.
As a German, Mordekaiser has always had the coolest name out of all the characters because he is called fucking MURDER EMPEROR ^^
They used red in TFT with his normal skin in set 9 to sell that he technically is from noxus because noxus is his old kingdom
another reason not to deadname people; you can’t cast them back to the spirit realm
PLEASE WE NEED ANOTHER MORDEKAISER REWORK PLS NICKY BOY SAVE US MORDEKAISER COMMUNITY IS CRYING PLS WE BEG YOU
I don't see the problem with green honestly.
Yes it is the same as shadow islands but turns out the thing with shadow islands is in the same line, undead souls trapped in the realm of the living.
Red is more for demonic stuff, purple for the void and blue for hextech/magic.
Green aura for the undead theme and red banners for Noxus I think is perfect.
Make it so its still like the soul fire blue on the outside, and as it comes in towards the center of his body have it be the ruddy red of Noxus.
I got into league because of the mordekaiser rework, he just looked so awesome!
I dont think he should be tied to noxus in his design at all he didn't have anything to do with he creation of noxus he just built a fortress that noxus built theyre civilization around when he died and the black rose or whatever they're called is still in noxus but they were apart of mordekaisers's empire and I think he should have the same colors in terms of ghosty bits as shadow isles because they are both apart of death but I do think the blue just looks odd I dont like runterras design a lot because of how blicky he is or how in his dialogue he's screaming a lot and doesn't have interaction with le blanc or Veigar instead he gets an interaction with volibear for some reason
My daddy, my big boy, mister morder the hoarder
Saurons skinny but he's also like 10 foot tall in the armour, so he's still like 4 foot across at the shoulders, just not hero-scale proportions.
Brazil mentioned LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Blue and Greenish are literally the only correct colors for Morde. Red or purple is just absurd
Why sugarcoat it? The redesign is needless, unnecessary, and a downgrade from his base form in league.
befor there was the jungle item overhaul and you had 2 starting items, some knife and idk a dragon like looking thingy, said dragon thingi gave you a burn passive on jungle mobs, and that was fucking busted on morde as you could breeze trought any camp quickly, starting solo with raptors and healing of them like crazy
Sauron is an elf if memory serves, or at least is masquerading as one, which is why hes so lanky.
So we can't have two big spectral armored kings, it would be a decent explanation had we not have Yasuo, Yasuo 2, Kayn or you know, same face and same BODY syndrome with female characters. Those concept arts of Viego look amaizing.
shadow isles is a spirited place, mordekaiser is a spirit bender, it makes sense to me that he is green.
