Regardless of how this works out, Riot I commend you for trying to change the meta.

Making Mord step up to debunk the ever powerful and always needed ADC in the bot lane is a frisky move and I like it.

From what I can see, Mord will be required to play safe, but he has many tools to control dragon and control the bot lane, like the dragon ghost and the full exp from minions. With this he might be viable in the botlane.

Lets see how this pans out!

P.S. Purely speculation, but in the short video about Mord, when the dragon kills a minion, Mord gets a significant boost in speed, meaning that he might get a boost after he kills anything. This will help with the kiting.

You could also try morde jungle, in which morde can tax lane XP without actually entering lane and end up with much more XP than anyone else.

This begs the question of whether or not ad supports will become viable with morde apc botlane. Maybe a utility adc with morde or an ad tank who can keep them in morde's range. It should be interesting.

I don't think so, although adc's are very very necessary mostly for constant dps and pushing power, it doesn't mean we need them BOT, we could have mid ad ezreal or mid ad corki.

Quinn top finally becomes acceptable?

My dearest, she will never be acceptable :'^).

Not until they fixed these bugs.

Support Ashe becomes an actual thing? Not a bad idea actually with Morde. She has the cc to prevent kiting and lock an adc down long enough for Morde to wail on them. Not to mention She has the bonus sight arrow shot so between that and 2 trinkets she could hold out on getting sightstone and build something that allows her a little damage.
