I have an idea for a Mordekaiser rework too! Now hear me out, Riot.

Will it fix that mobility creep his rendered him permanently uncompetitive? No.

Will it fix that his laning phase has been hella powercreeped and he gets out traded hard with no escapes and low base survivability that makes him easy to gank and all-in by every opponent? No.

Will it fix that ranged champions currently run circles around him both in laning phase and after? No, in fact it'll make it worse.

Will it fix his low AP ratios? No, it'll make them even lower.

Will it give him an identity? Something he does that a team wants? Well... no.

Will it give him more more reason to be picked than "does damage, but not much damage, and is melee, but doesn't scale well, doesn't win laning phase, and is tanky but not actually that tanky"? No.

Will he scale better? Any scaling at all really? No. In fact we're actually lowering his AP ratios and base damages so suck it nerds.

Will it finally let him be an AD bruiser? Well 1.6 AD ratio is totally enoujgh to be an AD bruiser!... wait ... the other bruisers have better AD ratios? How much better? Holy shit that's a lot better! Well I guess no it won't let him be an AD bruiser.

Will we work on his laning phas- HAHAHAHA no we're gonna gut the fuck out his health regen.

Are we gonna give him any way to restore his health now that he can't go spellvamp? No... well... we nerfed Warmogs if that counts. That doesn't count? Well stop asking so many questions.

Will my rework admit that Mordekaiser is a deeply flawed champion that needs ways to fit in to the game? No.

Will it fix the frustration faced by both teams as the only real hope for Mord to contribute meaningfully is for the opposing ADC to screw up and die? Nope, not even gonna touch that.

BUT I TELL YOU WHAT MY REWORK CAN DO... It can nerf Mordekaiser's wave clear so he can't even push against ranged champions anymore and instead has to sit and die at their mercy! ... wait I'm being told that's not a good thing.

Here's some actual suggestions:

Give Mord's E a 1.0 total AD ratio scaling and reduce the base damage by 50 at all ranks. Yes, this mean's at level 19 Mord would cap at 317 damage on his E base damage. Then revert all the AP scaling nerfs. Then give his Q the same flinch effect that Trundle's Q has. Then make it so creeping death increases mord's movement speed by 10/15/20/25/30 while it's active on himself. Then you might have an actual AD bruiser who can scale somewhat adequately and just be an iron juggernaut. Then look in to buffing Warmogs so it's not such a crap item and Mord can actually itemize it without giving up a far superior item. If Mord wants to go gunblade + full tank I say let him, don't nerf all his AP ratios for literally no reason. His AP ratios are going to be WORSE than Maokai's what sense does that even make?

Mord should be winning practically ALL 1v1s with his current kit. Anything less just doesn't make sense. He has less mobility than Jax, Irelia, Lissandra, etc. It doesn't make sense for him to be a free kill in 1v1s and being so weak in the laning phase if his entire scaling is going to be "better hope that ADC dies!" Riot needs to run a reality check. This isn't 2012 anymore, we're 3 years in the future. Mord is a free kill 1v1 to practically ANY champion right now. His team fight is whack and he doesn't do anything meaningful. Full tank Mord has a worthless E and his Q will only be doing 180 base damage? Shit, by level 18 he's doing 117 base damage. That means the entire ability is doing 63 more damage than just auto attacking at that point.

At the VERY LEAST give his E a 1.0 total AD ratio so he can pretend like he's merely a bad Sion.
