Are you attempting to start a discussion over the ratios, or are you asking for people to try and justify the changes?

If it's the former you might want to be a little less subtle about wanting to start a discussion, but if it's the latter I'll accept this challenge.

Mordekaiser's position in bot lane was meant to shift the meta a bit, but meta shifts happen over a fair amount of time. He is likely purposely overtuned to speed up this meta shift, and will receive small but inadequate nerfs over time, finally ending with a balanced state as the meta has fully adjusted.

That's probably the plan at least.

If he is gonna get hard locked into bot Imma be very sad, let him go where he pleases.

Agreed, though even Mundo is having a hard time with that at the moment.

That's if you hit them all three times. While that's not impossible, more than half of it is loaded into the 3rd strike, which is the hardest to guarantee.

Is that real life?

Yes. They gave a ton of damage but no way to get onto his target. He does more damage than any carry ever could in 3 hits.

Well I mean his winrates are pretty obnoxious. Also if you have a good support it's not hard to get onto a target.

325 Movement Speed, your only 'steroid' requires your ally to engage on the backline, and you literally require items just to keep in range. Plus, have you actually played him in the bot lane? Against any ADC that has even the most moderate understanding of kiting and harassing?

Yes a diamond 5 vayne with mastery level 5 and a kennen support lost horribly bot lane against leona mordekaiser. QTpie himself said mordekaiser is stupid strong after playing with and against mordekaiser. I have played with him and I don't understand why they would give his Q that much damage when he has a shield. Essentially making the only damage he takes are his hp costs.
