The stats say: Mordekaiser is OP

Mordekaiser stats - League of Legends

If you head over to lolking, you'll see that Mordekaiser has about a 49% winrate. Winrates are pretty difficult to interpret, but from this you might think Mordekaiser is balanced. You'd be wrong.

Let's head over to leagueofgraphs.com, which provides more useful breakdowns (see the link). Also, let's just look at ranked stats for Platinum and up. At that level, his winrate is about 52%, still not particularly absurd. However, remember that Mordekaiser's W passive basically grants him bonus experience when he's the one last-hitting in a duo lane--that is, when he's "ADC" (he can still be built either AD or AP). Only 51% of his games are actually at ADC, and in those games, he's closer to a 62% winrate. Now, I'm definitely a believer in the idea that winrates aren't everything, but if your winrate in a position is over 60%, I'm more than happy to declare you br0ken. (For comparison, Skarner's winrate peaked at about 63%, and he was considered so overtuned that Riot hotfixed him.)

CertainlyT strikes again XD

Riot handled the Mordekaiser rework just like they did Cassiopeia's.

The new Mord not really healthier than the old Mord. By all means, he is probably more annoying to deal with now due to his ability to curse the dragon. However, to make new Mord appear more successful, Riot buffed his numbers to astronomical values so players feel good about playing Mord.

Cassiopeia was reworked from a poison mage to an AK-47. The interaction was much worse than before; rather than getting poke out of lane by DoTs and her Q, champions will lose half their health or more on-wards from level 2 if they get hit by any poison DoT due to Twin Fang spam.

Mace of Spades have 900% scaling on the third hit. That is enough to 1 hit K/O most champions early on. If they some how survive, Mordekaiser also has his old 30% health ultimate waiting.
