Mordekiaser is NOT OP
All most people see is the shield and q damage.
Well guys, the shield degenerates pretty quickly, and you can only land third q if you can catch the one you are targeting--- or if they are dumb enough to let you hit it.
On top of that, Mordekiaser has awful base stats in terms of base health, armor, and magic resist.
His base damage is only high because he has 0 cc and a mere 325 movespeed.
You want counterplay? Watch his shield, and time the cooldowns. When he's on CD, go all in and lay some damage down, than back off. He will poke himself as he farms. Also when you see the circles, wait for it to go away, or poke to negate heal.
Honestly, Mordekiaser needs a defensive stat buff.
It's just way too easy to kill Morde, ESPECIALLY early. I feel sorry for the ones who pick him.
Heck, I even played Morde vs. Morde in a blind pick, and because I know how to outplay him, wel..l I did--- EVERYTIME.
Even as Olaf, I wreck the guy. How can even a melee counter Morde, who has nice damages?
It's almost sad.
He NEEDS those defensive buffs. Even slapping on Armor and Magic resist on solo w would work.
