Patch 5.16 concerns and possible solutions

This patch provides a lot of changes and is exciting with this allure of "the juggernaut gameplay change". People like darius garen morde and skarner (less so imo) has fallen into these best case mediocre case scenarios where they are grossly strong or grossly useless but these changes have huge concerns.

Darius Darius: Actually looks good, gj balanced out broken things like W att spd reduction, Q instant case and passive move spd while giving him something to be feared with nice

Garen Garen: Very concerning thing are two, first is the W removal of the tenacity, very very hurtful to his gameplay and the stacking armor mr as opposed to the % is really hurtful too although not as much as the tenacity, and the big thing is the e change where you slow yourself for 20% on champions, I can see where they are coming from because its just feel terrible to get caught by that but instead of slow why not say he cannot gain move spd buffs during the duration to at least give it some integrity? This 20% slow feels harsh on his gameplay UNLESS the dmg numbers are so high you literally have to do this to him to make it fair which is understandable

Skarner Skarner: I like the rock thing to buff his jungle clears but removing his mini stun passive hurts for skarner players immensely, i think increasing the power of the slow could put it in the right spot but the removal of the passive makes him lack some presence without his ult creating the malzahar syndrome

Mordekaiser Mordekaiser: He actually looks ok. You lost the aoe on the q for a heal potential on his W, now I don't know if you can detonate heal with W without a partner but if you can then I think he's fine, if he can't then maybe give him some more q useability to let him still solo lane possibly

PROPOSED FIXES

Darius Darius: None really, best rework of the 4

Garen Garen: Give him back the tenacity and reconsider his E self slow unless his dmg numbers are horrendous, either one would look healthy to give back

Skarner Skarner: More slow on E

Mordekaiser Mordekaiser: Make Q do something extra while toning down the dmg

I normally do not have the patience to make these because I'm grinding solo queue but this patch seems extremely polarizing and these might level it out in my mind. Voice your opinions friends

How about instead of trying to fix everything as soon as it's released you instead take the wait and see approach to gain a deeper understanding of the changes.
