... when everytime I tried to go bot Morde asking for a support I was called a troll and people refused to accept it, and someone just proceeded to ignore me and get a REAL adc, and the whole team threatened to report me if I insisted with Morde?

I first tried to go solo top with Morde, and proceeded to be buttraped in early game in 3 games in a row (I dont believe anyone can do good with solo morde now against an oponent who is not a retard, you basically only have your Q - that youll never get 3 hits on anyone - for damage; your E does 0 dmg and you dont have a W...)

Then I thought "ok, solo morde is really bad now, at least maybe bot may be fine as Riot promised", and then I tried for 5 games to go bot morde asking for a support, and in all I was not allowed to try it, with the whole team calling me troll.

Please Id really like to hear an answer for this question.

It's because the ADC+Supp bot lane has been hammered into us for so long that people can't wrap their minds around the notion of picking champs to synergize with each other and counter a lane comp after the game starts. Every other MOBA has people determine lane comps dependent on what the enemy is going to do once the game starts, but LoL forces you to choose between champs in mandatory roles to fill each lane. At one point in the game there was a counter composition for squishy adc and support, but now all the champs who formed that comp were nerfed into submission and damned to mediocre functionality in any role but support (Blitz). Considering what they did to Veigar in response to him being good against the fixed botlane comp, its surprising that they would consider shaking up the comp they enforced for so long.

I am queueing as Marksman botlane in Team Builder. As I get in group I write that I will build properly and that I chose MM for lane synergy. Worked fine enough.

M8 im totally aboard with you. new Mord doesn't cut it. even if you get to sup he has to be touching his adc to get a shield or to use the shield re-activate

I've actually been trying something a bit different with the new Mordekaiser. Basically going back to pre season 1 with a duo bruiser bottom lane. Ofc I was duo'ing with my friends Xin Zhao before trying this.

Oddly it worked because we just rushed down the enemy laners and ended up going 10/1.

But trying to go Morde / support is going to be harder to do. If you have a friend who is capable of using a lane bully fighter. I would try this.

Could probably just get over it. Morde is trash anyways. If there is one on your team you should dodge. If there is one on the other team ready your fist pump.

It's depressing how inflexible and cowardly the community has become to more interesting picks. I agree mordekaizer has been nerfed hard, but the unwillingness for most players to be a team (the whole point of the game) is entirely disheartening.
