Mordekaiser Reverts
I think it took a failure of a minor kit rework for Riot to realize that he just full blown needs a new kit. With his current kit, he will never be the ap bruiser they supposedly want (it's too damage oriented). So what I'm saying is that don't just make some little changes to his kit, give the guy a full blown rework and VU, like he desperately needs.

Ap bruisers naturally build more damage than ad bruisers, because you have to buy ap which is why there are more ap items with health and resistances as well. The problem is that
only builds purely offensive items.

and the ever so famous DFG.
Riot wants him to me more of an ap bruiser, yet his kit says "build me straight damage." Then removing his main damage item kind of forces him into building something tankier or just a worse damage option.
