Mordekaiser:

Passive - Very interesting. My idea for his passive would have been to keep it as is, but have it only generate a shield when he hits enemy champs with spells, and possibly have the shield generate based on his own max hp%, rather than damage dealt

Q - I don't play HotS, but I watched Leoric's hero spotlight because I liked his design. When I saw his spell "March of the Black King" my immediate thought was how badass it would be if Riot replaced Morde's current boring Q with Leoric's spell. Is that also where you got the idea for his new Q.

W - I like this idea. I think being able to cast W on an enemy champ and deal damage to them while the two clouds of metal touch fits perfectly for a juggernaut.

E - Not bad. I think it would be cool if his E pulled enemies slightly towards him, sorta like Diana's E. I think this is a spell that could use a lot of work. It's called "Siphon of Destruction" but what is he siphoning?

R - Eh. It's fine, but to be honest, I doubt very seriously that Morde will still be able to control the ghosts of enemy champs when he gets his VGU. It just doesn't feel very fitting for a juggernaut. I know you have Morde listed as a mage second, but I'm not even sure if Riot still intends for champs to have secondary roles.

Nocturne:

I'd honestly rather Nocturne get a completely new passive. This rework idea is fine, I like the idea of him having some kind of stealth in his kit, but most of these changes are just buffs that I don't think Nocturne needs, especially with his ult and E changes.
