Alright, this is the first time Ive ever started a discussion about a champ in this game. I really want to know what people hate about him now, why they hate it, and why they want him to go back to how he was before

I also would like to know what your current thoughts on him are as well. Is he balanced, overpowered or underpowered. Can he be countered, shut down or can he easily snowball out of control. What conditions must be met for him to snowball, or to be shut down.

If he is overpowered, what about him would you like to nerf? If he is underpowered, what about him needs to be buffed?

I would like to have a discussion filled with respect, and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

For starters, I really don't think that he should go back to the way he was before, and I think that the latest rework on him really gave him a niche. Mordekaiser is, in his current state, an answer to the stale bot lane ADC/Support meta, which, in and of itself, is fine. However, I feel that they overtuned his abilities a tad, specifically his ability to duo lane without the same experience penalty as his lane opponents. There is something extremely obnoxious with the fact that I can be farming well and ahead, but still get outleveled by Morde and still lose lane. I also feel that the dragon ghost is a good idea, and it is very interesting, but need some work to balance the fact that a level 6 dragon can shred the low level enemy team and almost guarantee a tower early on. I don't think he needs to be reverted, but I think that his current state is definitely bade enough to warrant some sort of balbance tuning for sure.

The master of metal really has fairly balanced game play since he brings lots of damage with almost no mobility allowing for him to be easily poked out of lane but if opponents try to duel him they need to back out before the 3rd auto. The part that makes him feel broken (at least for me) is the dragon stealing passive. Summoning a dragon ghost is cool and all but with huge amounts of health, aoe damage and no tether range is what makes it a little too strong.

Because they took all his power and placed it in Q, his kit has absolutely no depth whatsoever, they pretty much took everything away from his other abilities and put it in Q and all his other active abilities are completely irrelevant. W is only good in laning phase, E does literally nothing until you get Rylais and enemies can just regen your ultimate at all stages of the game, the only thing good about the other abilities in his kit is W gives bonus XP and his ult passive gives you a dragon ghost.

old mord was E-spamming lane cancer with low counterplay burst

new mord is nothing but Q flash cheese unless you're melee and a dragon ghost

same spells, barely any additional counterplay. failed rework imo
