Something actually has to be done about mordekaiser.

In worlds, he is such an overpowered champion. He forces purple side to ban him, leaving them with only 2 bans of their choice. Meanwhile blue side gets to always first pick him whenever he gets past ban phase. Morde causes blue side to have an unfair advantage.

He's not overpowered per se. He's broken with his W passive and dragon clone, thus making him really damn unfair/unhealthy to play against.

Funny thing is that there aren't any winners with this rework; Former mains dislike being forced duo and having their main's identity butchered Pro players hate him and don't want to play with him Newer players won't be able to pick him up due to being perma banned

He needs a lot of work done to him

In your list of non-winners... You forgot to mention those who have to play against him.

Though I whole-heartedly agree. And despite my general liking for simple, high burst (Veigar)... When I decided to try Mordekaiser, hitting the 3rd Q didn't really feel good... It's weird, as the sound, visuals and the swing of his mace suggests it SHOULD be satisfying, it just... Isn't. I just feel this strange sensation of... Disgust, maybe? I don't feel like I worked for it at all. Like, it just "Happens" for no reason other than "You leveled up."

(Wether or not that is actually the case doesn't really matter, the point is; I didn't enjoy it despite doing pretty well. Despite being able to 1-shot a Ziggs... I wasn't having a lot of fun.)

The dragon clone is one of the most unfair mechanics in his kit, in my opinion. Dragon is already something you want to contest. Mordekaiser just punishes you THAT much harder for not winning the contest or for not contesting in the first place. Rather than the Morde team being rewarded for taking dragon with a permanent buff (until Aspect), they get ADDITIONAL reward in the form of a strong siege tool.

Why? Because "new gimmick". Honestly, I feel they tried too hard with Mordekaiser's gimmick.

XP passive and Dragon Ghost don't need to exist.

You make it sound like Riot won't fuck up even worse when the rework rolls around.

So he's kinda like old Kassadin with the whole permaban thing.

Been awhile since we've had one of those

I'd have been happy if they only changed his passive and E and left his other abilities in their pre-rework state. It would allow him to play as a bruiser instead of a burst mage (his build would probably be unchanged from it's current state) and the items introduced in the Juggernaut update would have solved his mobility issues.

They could then tone down his AP ratios to incentivize a more durable build path (like his current one). He could be a durable, immobile fighter capable of brawling with most opponents and staying in the fight instead of the AP burst mage he became.

Though honestly, at this point I would settle for them reverting his W so he could solo-lane again and remove the dragon-control on his ultimate (because it's just gimmicky).

He's like the new Kassadin.

Gangplank almost as broken (just not as unfun to play against); it's really tilting draft phase to blue advantage more than ever since the old kassadin days

I personally think he relies too much on barrels to work in a teamfight.

His ult needs to be followed up by hard CC to deal reasonable damage in a fight.

Stop playing ranged adc against

i know that one game is nothing, but i won in lane against morde/blitz with jax and had braum. people should try to play melee champions against him jax can dodge his Q

Jax can dodge the Morde Q? I would have thought he couldn't since he can't dodge Nasus's. I hate how inconsistent the dodge is as someone who tries to play Jax.

I can confirm that Jax dodges new Morde's Q, I'd say this makes him one of the biggest counters to Mordekaiser, being able to completely wreck him in early game with his CC, mobility and an ability to negate nearly all of Mord's damage.

How the heck can jax dodge morde q but not nasus q.... this is rediculous
