Mordakaiser has a base movement speed of 325....seriously?

This champ has no slows, no stuns, no gapclosers, and a base movement of 325. Does riot expect the ADC to gladly jump into his lap and present themselves as gifts of adoration?

Not to mention top lane is really far from dragon pit and Herald is not eligible on his ghost list. I mean, I can't take bothsummoner 6 and summoner 12....who does that?

Riot, can you please have your team take a minor look at Mordakaiser again?

Well. now with Rylais' slow being nerfed to 20% he could really use some MS buffs.

Seems good enough when his enemies constantly have like 150 item 3116 Also he takes Stormraiders so he is almost as fast as Keemstar boi

He's a juggernaut, so he's supposed to be countered by kiting. Unfortunately, the other juggernauts have things like MS boosts and CC stronger than item 3116 to help them. Morde, in return for having a greater weakness to being kited with no CC, hardly any mobility, and a base movement speed that would make a mountain laugh, is supposed to make up for that with tons of damage.

Which he had... until 2015 Worlds rolled around, he was 100% pick/ban status in the bot lane, and Riot hit his kit numbers so hard it would make a mathematician wince. Morde was later compensated for the nerfs by being allowed back into a solo lane with a W that could be cast on minions. This was not enough to make up for what he lost, and Morde has been floundering ever since.

On one hand, having pre-nerf Morde charge the third Q strike, flash, and murder a marksman with (literally) one hit may have been too much. On the other hand, Morde has languished for over a year as punishment. His kit is in shambles. W still has the bonus XP passive that hardly ever sees use. When's the last time you saw a dragon ghost? Hell, when's the last time you saw a Morde? The guy has a 1.8% playrate; which is quite impressive... if you're Urgot or Galio.

Morde needs more than a minor look, he needs a second gameplay update. One that is not designed to make him into a duo laner.

summoner 6 summoner 12 is a legit combo for quite a few toplaners wtf are you talking about? Garen Nasus Malphite TrundleOlaf just to name a few who can use it really well
