Mordekaiser is a great champion

I love Mordekaiser 's design, lore, gameplay, and pretty much everything about him. His kit is amazing and intuitive; he feels great when you get ahead and he's still fun when you're behind. The problem is that he is almost completely non-viable due to the fact that he has absolutely NO cc or mobility. In order to make up for this, rushing a item 3116 is almost necessary. That would be fine if not for the fact that it severely limits his play style.

The simple and easy way to fix Mordekaiser is just to add a slow to his E or W. He doesn't need a full rework, he doesn't even need a partial rework. All he needs is a single slow. item 3116 would still be really good on him, since it would give the great permaslow on his ult, etc. but having built-in cc would allow you to build other things and potentially play in completely unique ways.

To put things in perspective, this is a complete list of champions with NO built-in cc: Ezreal Kaisa Katarina Lucian MasterYi Mordekaiser Nidalee Sivir plus Corki only has cc on his Valkyrie

ALL of these champions except for Sivir and Mordekaiser have a dash/blink of some sort, and even Sivir has mobility on her ult. Mordekaiser is the only champion in the entire game with no cc or mobility. Adding mobility to Mordekaiser's kit doesn't work thematically or gameplay-wise, so the obvious thing to do would be adding some cc. I think putting a slow on his E would be the most reasonable thing to do, but I'm not on the balance team. If there's some better way to fix the problems, please do it.

I really like the idea of a slow on his E, similar to Sion 's armor shred thingy. Building item 3116 would still be good on him just because combined with his ult it's amazing, but adding a slow to his E would really open up some more combinations. Rushing item 3152 into item 3116 gets pretty boring.

No offence, but you're bronze 2, Mordekaiser is an awful champion design wise. The "Idea" of Mordekaiser is bloody amazing but his kit and visuals are a fucking mess.

And take that from a 1.6 million mastery point Morde main.

His kit is great if He didnt one shot you with 2 swings of his low cooldown q and then 1 shot some one else with his 3rd q afterward. Mordekaiser Does not engage for himself But if he gets an ally to engage for him he can Then engage for himself easily with his w. Modekaiser only needs to be paired with an assassin or another bruiser for him to be a great pick (and totally busted). Morde needs a damage cut on his q whether he gets a way to engage on his own or not but so many people asking for a way for him to engage on his own he would need an even futher damage cut.
