Every champion in League of Legends is designed to leave a certain impression on players and become a “brand” that players recognize. Of course, this impression can be good or bad depending on the process of its release. Mordekaiser is a character that leaves a poor impression as this champion is always associated with unreasonable interactions or game bugs. At one point, Mordekaiser was even referred to as the “king of bugs” for this reason.
Over time, the not-so-glorious title mentioned above has been replaced by other names, but this champion remains infamous for its bizarre bugs. Most recently, Mordekaiser has been discovered to possess an extremely odd ability to help enemies use their abilities even after being taken down. The reason once again comes from Mordekaiser’s powerful ultimate, Realm of Death.
As we saw in the above video, Mordekaiser used his ultimate Realm of Death on Kalista and directly took down this champion. However, by some miraculous way, Kalista was still able to use her ultimate Fate’s Call after being defeated to pull her ally Nautilus. This ability still worked normally as Nautilus could choose where to escape and it still dealt damage and knocked up as usual.
According to some humorous comments on the channel of “bug saint” Vandiril, it is highly likely that Kalista was only “reborn” into a different timeline and not completely defeated. Therefore, this champion could use her skills like that because it is too unreasonable to be able to use abilities after being taken down.
However, a more convincing explanation has been presented that Mordekaiser’s ultimate somehow slowed down the server’s processing speed. Thus, when Kalista pressed R before being defeated by Mordekaiser, it was only later that the ultimate was activated. This is not too unreasonable as there are many bugs that cause the game to crash, even erasing the entire match history that has occurred.
Hopefully, Riot Games will soon have a plan to fix this bug in the near future. It would be unfortunate if such a serious bug existed in the game and affected major League of Legends tournaments.
