Mordekaiser Rework A Complete Failure

I loved Mordekaiser , absolutely loved him before this abhorrent rework. He was fun, offered a ton of counter-play and had clear and defined strengths and weaknesses.

Now you've gutted his entire kit to hinge entirely upon some stupid dragon gimmick. 46.78% win rate mid, 48.98% win rate top and I can't even pull up his bottom win rates but I'd imagine they're absolutely abysmal.

Acknowledge this rework was an utter waste of time please. New Mordekaiser is terrible, give us back old actually usable Mordekaiser please.

Also the new Q animation is hilarious, he looks like a cartoon. BIG OVERHEADED SWING IT HITS SO HARD HIS FEET LIFT OFF THE GROUND! Give him a hat so that when he does it the hat flies up and lands back on his head. Might as well considering this champion is a joke.

Riot knows it was not good. Skarner and Mordekaiser will get full VGU's... but not too soon. There are champions who need it a lot more like Taric, Yorick, Ryze etc. Morde will sadly remain in this unhealthy state for quite some time.

Until this time he will just be a niche which is really sad. Also on that goofy attack animation part, never liked Mordekaisers AA animation either. Hopefully with his VGU he will finally swing his mace and not just slightly hit someone with it.

I used to really enjoy Morde before the rework as well, being able to soak up massive damage in teamfights with his passive, and deal massive aoe with his q and his e. Now that his q autos have a cast time and his combo takes time to set up, it seems to me like he is just a much slower champion with much more clearly defined drawbacks with very little advantages over old Morde. His dragon is a gimmick, it's so slow and most of the time it's worth ulting their fed carry over having a drake and overall he just seems clunkier even when to point of the rework was to make him playable again. I hate that they forced him into the bot lane, and they're also forcing you to build differently due to new ad scalings on q and e. I thought we had PBE for a reason, and I thought Riot would pay attention to the few people who have played Morde both before and after the rework and listen to our opinions.
