@Riot Are there any planned tweaks or buffs being considered for Mordekaiser?

Just wondering if Riot has some tweaks or buffs incoming for Mordekaiser. Still sitting at a pretty abysmal winrate, and don't want my team to groan every time I want to play him top or bot.

Yes Riot, finish what you've started!

We're not looking for 100% pick/ban rate.

We're not looking for a bottom tier pick that we can abuse because no one knows how to play against him, because barely anyone plays against him.

We want a champ that can always be considered in a team comp but never be viewed as overpowered. Such as Renekton, Caitlyn, Ahri... Those champs that fit into almost every LCS META but not as power picks.

You have to accept that Morde is amongst the most loved 'bottom of the META' champs, if not the most loved.

To serve as proof, we Morde mains have continued to play him through his worst stages. Even when you designed him around bot lane, and was subsequently nerfed to bottom tier again, we Morde mains were still playing him in solo lane.

Not because we're looking for an overpowered champion we can easily win with, but because we are in love with the character that you have created for us.

Riot isn't going to buff Morde anymore when he already has a 58% winrate as an adc and people still refuse to play him there.

That would be a start.

On a serious note; They could try some minor buffs regarding his base tankiness. His slow MS and damage seems in an ok spot imo.

How about we get some more small buffs, then they leave him until he can get a full VGU. I would be fine with that...

My idea to change him is make his ult damage over time shorter but do the same damage so he can execute with it. Also rework his w so that it is cast on one person and creates a metal field around them but only them that damages enemies. Also when it is activated it pulls enemies towards the center if they are still inside the radius like a magnet. This will give mord some cc he needs and a 1 or 2s delay before the w can be activated after being cast can give it clear counterplay. It would also give him some team fight capabilities by providing aoe cc. Put the w on a tank, when they jump into the team activate to drag them all towards the center like a Diana E.

Had a game a few days ago with a Runic Echoes Morde jungle. 12 minutes in, with just a Runic, he did 1308 damage with is Q. So I'm totally, perfectly fine if he never receives a buff or tweak. He was a slaughter machine once he got Rylais.
