Why does Mordekaiser's w give bonus xp when near teamates?

Isn't he played top and mid? i know adc mord is a thing, but is it really necessary? If they got rid of the xp bonus could they buff it someway else?

he was intended to be a melee marksman but it was a complete failure of a rework

He was reworked to be in the "ADC/Support" lane... and so in their "logic" it made sense since he was Melee to give him a bonus.

He really wasn't, though. The passive on the W is the only thing that says he should be somewhere not mid or sometimes top.

Yes he was. Go to Google and type "Mordekaiser Bot lane"

Def released for bot thats why his ult can addect drag. They wanted to make it like dota were melee adcs are actually viable

It can be called for many things but I'll settle for "creative bankruptcy" or "nonsense logic".

The XP bonus is a thing that's only added because they wanted to force into a duo lane, and because it obviously doesn't work so they added random shit into his kit that all make no sense until at one point they'd thought "ah it's all good now" and released him, and what we got was a Frankenstein's monster level of botched work. An absolute abomination of existence that defies all semblance of rationality and creativity.

The same can also be said about his current ulti, which is just as bad if not more badly and artificially contrived.
