The Rise of Support Mordekaiser?

Ever since the new season I have been playing a lot of jungle mordekaiser. I like it because the jungle gives good returns after level 3 where Morde tears through it and one of his biggest weaknesses, being ganked, is less of an issue. I have laned so much over the years I found it boring, however the new support masteries on the PBE may have changed my mind. With Morde's ability to poke in a cone fairly reliably and his new speed up giving him bare bones utility to synergize with some potential champs down bottom I think it could be fun to lane again. Ashe is a good candidate who can use the speed up to keep enemies pinned while Morde finally has a way to catch people thanks to frost arrows.

Being able to combine spell theif's edge with the bandit passive and the combined gpm passive should allow for some good gold generation without having to last hit. The tricky part being angling the cones so you harass instead of kill minions. This gold generation makes it easier to afford items while still springing for the occasional ward and ward upgrade. New vision options and harass income may very well make it easier for morde to transition from support to APC alongside the ADC they were helping in the laning phase.

I would probably go with these masteries if the supports are pushed through:

Runes would most likely be flat pen and armor. With teleport and ignite for spells.

A fully no-cc support who autopushes lane and has nothing but damage (and that puny run speed) seems like a bad idea.

I don't play Mordekaiser support (already tried,it's my main so I test everything :D ) just because it's really hard to poke without pushing (I don't have tools to protect my adc:D) But i tried morde in botlane with morgana / malzahar.how to say it,the lvl 6 is sweeeet :p

The added gold gen has been noticeable so far. Morde does better with ADCs that can abuse the up time like Ashe, Draven or Jinx from what I've seen so far. The tier 2 boots worth of speed from His W can make for some aggressive plays or lead away from a gank with proper warding. I don't know if I like it as much as jungle. I'm fairly certain i make more gold in jungle but at least laning isn't boring with my entire income coming from pokes.
