I actually founded him fun before his re-work and was like the 2nd AP Champ that I actually liked, 1st being 
but of course he is garbage now also with the rework.
I liked that Q spread especially, but just wondering why the rework on him?
SouL1ess1 votesBecause they have a new champion kit but they dont want to develop a new champion.
That would take much more effort, from artwork to lore to new graphics/models in game.
So other champions that Riot consider disposable gets reworked.
Lord Boltrix1 votesThe short answer is that old Mordekaiser was too toxic in terms of gameplay, where he was either cc'ed and died and basically amounted to nothing other than a walking damage dealer with no cc or mobility of his own (outside of his conditional W, and that was a relatively recent development in the champion's history) or he was a monster for whom he could handle multiple people facing him simultaneously.
He was much fun for those who remember old Mordekaiser, but he was oppressive to face for anyone who didn't pick a counter into him; like what the forums complain about with champions like Zed and Yasuo: really fun to play as, but horribly unfun to play against.

And look at how much that changed.
