So what mindset is going into remaking Mordekaiser?

By this point, I can't help but feel that Mordekaiser's gameplay is too disjointed. He's a big armored brute, but has those ranged spells, and building him always turns into a mess because of too many scalings. And then there's his ult, which is cool but takes up FAR too much power budget.

I personally think that Mordekaiser needs to take some cues from Leoric in HotS, disposing of his current ult and exchanging some of his nuke-style spells for more melee-combat abilities. His ult could be transplanted onto a new Champion, one who could make better use of it.

In fact, making Mordekaiser play a lot like Leoric would be a perfect fit, as long as Blizzard is okay with it.
