Why is everybody up in arms about Morde when Vlad's in a much worse state post-rylai's nerf?
Morde: ~53.61% win rate; 0.67% play rate.
5.5% win rate spike from patch 6.23.
50%+ average win rate at all points of the game.
Vlad: ~41.24% win rate; 0.72% play rate.
6.25% win rate dip from patch 6.23.
50%- average win rate at all points of the game.
Both are classically 'unhealthy' champions who have similar patterns in lane.
Morde shields himself the entire laning phase and he's essentially an immovable wall unless you can stat-check him to death. He'll poke you down all day with his E if you don't attempt to do so.
Vlad pokes you down during laning so its risky to retaliate, and by the time you can trade heavily, he chunks even harder and heals back for significant amounts. The only way around this is simply stat-checking him.
Really, what's the excuse for the bias? Have you forgotten that its just as bad to lane against Morde as it is to lane against Vlad any time either of them are decent?
I'm pretty sure even Malicious Metal would back me up on this one.
IT'S ON!
