I'm not being sarcastic, it's a bad ability on its own. HOWEVER, it's Morde's best ability (besides his ult of course), so that's saying something about the rest of his kit.
I wouldn't say the rest of his abilities are not good on their own. His Q is his bread and butter and even as a tanky build it will still chunk people down. After playing mordekaiser a lot lately his W is just amazing in lane, whenever you are below 50% health just run to jungle and heal for 600+ every 9 seconds or so at max rank. Also that W allows you to make some crazy plays (I was able to 1v3 a lee, Cait and janna with a 800 heal from W) I mean I'm not a professional but I love that ability, especially on tanks to heal them from 1k+ late game. Also the thing I noticed on him is that the meta does not favor him because of the removal of wards and being so vulnerable to ganks (that was mordes issue even before rework) I feel his kit is pretty solid, not the best but I wouldn't say the worst, he definitely gets punished hard but he can easily punish others by over extending if played correctly.
