Mordekaiser, the new LoL Frankenstein

Mordekaiser looks like he was torn appart then sewn back together by unsteady hands, his character fantasy and playstyle unfitting amidst the crowd or in the landscape. Dr Riot lets out a crazy and maniac laugh and screams "It's alive !!!" while the crooked monster frees himself from his cuffs... This is how I see the event that perverted the kit of, even though I don't like the term, the closest to what I would call my main.

Here are the reasons:

1- All his abilities except his ult were AoE to make the most of his passive (Iron Man). His new q and conditional w damage ruins his perfectible but already well-thought kit. 2- These changes were brought to try a concept that I believe is faulty in the first place : change a champion's meta by altering his kit. This could work on a champion whose identity is already unclear, but it is not Mordekaiser's case. 3- This new playstyle is the exact opposite of what we would expect of the dreaded Master of Metal, who according to his lore can bend souls as well as metal to his will and then use them for his mysterious purposes. 4- So many changes could have been made to make Mordekaiser a healthy and interesting champion while keeping his character fantasy and meta intact that seeing this rework makes me wonder what these Riot employees had in mind while doing this. The changes they made solve no problem, they only create more.

Please give me feedback and tell me what you think about this.

No offense but I've played a lot of old and new Morde and new morde is actually more fun. He works in bot lane perfectly fine as long as your support knows how you work. He may still require tweaking in the numbers, and they may still want to allow minion cast of W but overall he feels quite solid.
