League of Legends: Mordekaiser Ultimate Can No Longer be Cancelled with QSS?

In the heart of a teamfight, Mordekaiser's ultimate has been a game-changer, isolating and eliminating key damage dealers from the fray. With the power to drag an enemy champion to the realm of the death, Mordekaiser's ultimate posed a formidable threat. However, the presence of Quicksilver Sash (QSS) provided a potential lifeline, offering players the chance to break free from Mordekaiser's grasp. 

But recent changes on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) indicate a significant shift in this dynamic. Riot Games is testing changes that would prevent Quicksilver Sash (QSS) from cancelling Mordekaiser's ultimate This alteration marks a departure from the previous interaction, where QSS could provide a means of escape for champions ensnared by Mordekaiser's grasp.

Let us take deeper look at this change and how it will affect the dynamics of Summoner's Rift. 

Power of Mordekaiser's Ultimate

Mordekaiser's ult, Realm of Death, has long been feared for its ability to turn the tide of teamfights. By isolating an enemy champion in the death realm, Mordekaiser gains a significant advantage, often securing kills and swinging the momentum in his team's favor. 

The threat of being trapped in the death realm has forced opponents to tread carefully when facing Mordekaiser, with QSS serving as a potential lifeline for those caught in his clutches.

History with QSS

The interaction between Mordekaiser's ultimate and Quicksilver Sash (QSS) has been reputed ever since Morde's ult got reworked. QSS has remained a popular counter-play that could cleanse Mordekaiser's ult, providing an escape route for ensnared champions. 

However, changes to the item's mechanics and Mordekaiser's ultimate have led to a shift in this dynamic. With the latest changes on the PBE, QSS may no longer offer reprieve from Mordekaiser's deadly grasp, forcing players to explore alternative strategies when facing the Iron Revenant.

Abilities That Can Still Cancel Morde Ult

While QSS may no longer be an option for escaping Mordekaiser's ultimate, certain champion abilities still offer a glimmer of hope. Champions like Gangplank, Olaf, and Milio possess abilities that can break free from crowd control effects, including Mordekaiser's ultimate. 

Gangplank's Remove Scurvy, Olaf's Ragnarok, and Milio's Breath of Life provide them with the means to defy Mordekaiser's grasp and turn the tables in their favor. The change may also lead to a surge in counterpicking as other champions do not have a consistent option to deal with the death realm anymore.

As the changes to Mordekaiser's ultimate continue to evolve on the PBE, players must adapt their strategies to adapt to this meta shift. Whether these adjustments herald a new era of Mordekaiser dominance or open the door for innovative counterplay remains to be seen. Nonetheless, one thing is certain: Mordekaiser's ultimate is poised to remain a force to be reckoned with on the Rift.
