What do you think about Mordekaiser in s8/ pre-season now?

Hello guys I'm a mordekaiser main from another sever

> Just quote some statistics I read today (Dec 7 2017) [All region] Gold+ (All elo) Win rate: 48.8% (47.7%) [EU} Gold+ (All elo) Win rate: 47.4% (47.3%) [NA] Gold+ (All elo) Win rate: 47.1% (49.2%) [KR] Gold+ (All elo) Win rate: 52.7% (48.6%) >>>>>The win rate trend is going downward since July 2017 And the pick-rate is sitting mostly below 1%

I'm pretty sure that the one who is still playing Morde now is Morde lover/ main.

I think that Morde right now is at a relatively weak spot as he doesn't fit in the meta since s6 In s6 s7, we have the nerf of which hits Morde so hard as no more 40% slow for his Q as well as with no compensation at all. And for now I'm still finding the most suitable runes for Morde (phase rush, arey, or even buffed flee foot etc)

Just address some problem of Morde's kit

1) No build-in CC, gap-closer, and easily be kited We can see that there are flashy champs everywhere. With no CC and gap-closer and that slow MS, Morde can't reach them to deal any damage and just die. When people are complaining being kited easily, Morde with ONLY 325 MS, a temporarily MS boost which require walking towards the targeted ally and NO any kind of slow ( WE, W)

2) Base stat really sucks Just comparing to other carry top-laners, Morde has super low base health, lowest health regen, lowest MS, low AS. He is a super slow melee champ with a ranged champ stat. His early game AD is much lower than other AD-champs (with the AD stuff due to new runes) and even at level 18, some jauggarnauts still have higher base AD than Morde. He really needs those base AD to scale his Q

3) Too reliant on his teammates Unless you play Morde in bot lane (I sometimes do), your W just feel useless. You can cast it to minions but you CANNOT instruct the minions where to go. No W means losing much dmg (W has high base dmg with 0.9AP scaling) and that recast is only for healing

4) Bugs bugs and bugs Dragon/ ghost AI not responding, sometimes Q does NO damage, Cannot choose the one you click on W, WRONG BASE AD SCALING etc... Have reported to my sever MANY times and no one cares

Morde has sacrifice too much to get that dmg whereas the dmg isn't that enormous (why not choose if he can hard poke and have the ability to one-shot someone but choose a slow machine which takes tons of time to reach the target and CANNOT even hit Q3 as enemy has escaped easily?)

Suggestions: Just do a gameplay update, give him little love, either give him some tools to reach target or stick to target or make him less reliant on teammates.

What do you guys think?
