Morde and Garen Nerfs

Ok, Mord and Garen are both easily the most powerful tanks of this patch, so much so that Mord is near 100% pick/banns in solo que and Garen meeting the same fate, now why is this? Garen is a high base tank needing little to no items to get tanky, his late game damage on his E is insane plus a true damage ult makes him a terror, and you will spend 5 minutes to kill this guy even with a fed vayne. His laning phase is good with him being able to get free damage thanks to his silence, and his passive regens so much health you get a seizure watching his life bar.

Now morde, I'm going to get hate for this but does morde need THAT much damage? Give him a blitz support and watch as the next pull nabs him an easy kill while granting him a shield, his Q has AP and AD scaling up to 1.8 for AP and 2.0+ AD, his sustain is stupid high, his E is just there so he can get massive shields and his passive dragon does so much damage that once he gets it it's practically a GG lost a team fight because he WILL dive you, watch as Mord walks up to a full build Naut and 3 hit him, there should be no reason any champion can have that much damage, it's like riot gave the middle finger to everyone else and honestly this patch made the game not fun. Yes it's nice we got some reworks for older champions giving them some love, I like that but when you rework a champion into a monster that can easily 2v1 at level 3 it's a bad rework. Now do I like their changes? Yes, Garen's anti villain game is interesting but his damage for an unkillable wall is ridicules, same story with Mord, I like how they're trying to make him into more of a support bruiser but when you give him that much damage its stupid, when I played these two I felt so dirty that I literally stopped playing league and took a shower, this has to be the worst update. Over nerf Elise to the ground (she had what, one month of love?) then give us tanks that can 1v5, its not a fun game state riot and if you played against or as these champions it's is blatantly obvious.

Neither Garen nor Mordekaiser are tanks. They are meant to deal considerable amounts of damage. You are greatly exagerating Mord's damage in special, i would say, because he only has one spell that actually hurts, that being his Q.

Mord in special is, statistically, the worst Mid and Top Laner in the entire game. Garen could use some toning down, i admit, but he is nowhere near Skarner's current level.
