I just played my first game against mord since the rework as support

sweet glory, i didnt realize that they not only ruined his identity, but made his bot lane power unmatchable. the guy hit lvl 6 at 5 minutes, at level 2 he dealt 500 dmg to our vayne with an e q plus 1 leona passive proc. he got his first pet dragon around 8 minutes or so with 1800 hp, and it dealt a buttload of damage to both of us AND our turret. even late game the ONLY way we were able to shut him down was because he was stupid and sitting in the front lines, they were stupid and didnt peel for him, and we had 3 people on him every fight. the only weakness of his i saw the entire game was his lack of mobility and range, which is really more of a lack of extra strength. i honestly see no reason for Mordekaiser, the iron harbinger of death and destruction, to be helpless alone but op with the help of others. i already saw the rework as unhealthy in terms of theme (and i always thought the dragon was stupid) but now i honestly see very little good brought from it. what's more that i dont get is that they said one of the reasons they were reworking him was because his counterplay was basically just "stay out of range". now, his counterplay is "just hug tower, beg for jungle ganks, and pray to whatever deity you may worship."

edit: note that i made no comment about what needs done or anything like that, i only put down what happened in the match and my thought process at the time
