Mord overhaul

Why fix what isn't broke, except you just broke it some more?

Some of the changes are flashy at first but drop off fast, and while having a pet dragon is a nice addition, it could have been added without gutting him. You take away his wave clearing ability which was one of his strongest utilities. You nerf his e to the ground (an ability with low base damage already) which was pretty much his bread and butter ability, especially low levels and his only source of harass. Splitting his ratios, further nerfing his kit; I remind you there are few ap/ad items and they are expensive but you are trying (?) to make him more attractive as a support, which is an already gold starved role, that has meta item obligations; so after relic and ss, you want me to throw down 3.4k for a gunblade? And what? Support carry? You take away the ability to shield yourself (or a minion for that matter) without a friendly nearby, pretty much dooming him to the role of support or the effectiveness of solo-lane nami mid (2/3 damaging abilities) His q, which the new q might be attractive to a solo laner maxing q first, while admittedly strong if you land it all, is very situational coming from a melee support that moves at the pace of glacial drift; and is poor. Don't forget poor. The flaws of former mord were, no cc and no escape from cc, in exchange for strong harass, excellent clear, and team fight/late game/anti-carry potential. You've not only not addressed any reason as to why you never see mord as a top tier pick (I can only imagine, I'm only a humble player) such as the aforementioned, you've made him slower, with a situational speed buff that is questionable and not really given him any direction.

Did I miss anything? Other than pet dragon and slight xp bonus, (which might get you 1 level ahead at some point, maybe?) who should you be firing?
