" Mordekaiser is a juggernaut"

Why can't he does great damage while building tank then?

he needs 2500 HP to break the old shield but if he build health, he won't be able to complet the shield since the shield generation is down from 35% to 25%.... Not forgetting that the base damage of his E is down from 250 to 150, seriously? Why is he getting an AD bonus on his E? you said in 5.4 that AD morde isn't a thing. And the cooldown of his Q was increased. He also lost his armor/mr bonus on his W.

All i see is a carry hybrid mordekaiser, there is no "immobile tanky great damage dealer" champion.

Trinity Force Rylai's into Tank is more than enough for new Morde to 1v1 someone.

Mordekaiser's new E also instantly grants 15% bonus shield per champion hit.

Shield Decay rate goes down as you build more HP.

E now gain's damage without you putting ranks into it because of the Total AD ratio, giving the spell a power curve, but not making it outright weaker.

As far as I can see, Mordekaiser was given Hybrid scaling as a way to let him circumvent his need for penetration as a stat. If he deals both physical and magical damage, ala Jax, he shouldn't need more magic penetration to boost his damage. Although you can still get it if you want, and it can work.

The W, while it lost it's resistances, while there is an ally near mordekaiser, has insane base damage, and a very plentiful heal to help him even more in laning phase, at least bot lane.

I was doubting about his E, is it per champion hit or it's capped to one proc? if it's per champion hit than Tank mordekaiser has a chance to complet his shield which is nice

Morde's E is per champion hit, with no cap, + the E damage shield generation. Bot lane I can go 25-100% shield in one E level 1-2. A Mordekaiser with 4000HP would gain 150shield per champion hit by E, plus the % E damage per target hit.
