Mordekaiser Bot Lane

So this is probably the wrong board for this, but I just got done with a Morde bot game, replacing him for the ADC, it actually went really well, after my first buy I was oppressive as hell in term of pushing a lane against a Sivir of all things. Completely trashed bot lane, ending up 5/0 leaving the laning phase, just wanted to say thanks for the rework on Morde, it actually allows me to play "ADC" and not hate my life like I did with the other ADCs.

The dragon is a bit gimmicky, but still a good bit of fun to send after my enemies. I know there's a lot of people that dislike the rework, but overall I find it to be a tremendous amount of fun Morde + Soraka bot lane is just brutal.

So they took an immobile lane bully and turned him into a gimmicky duo lane bully.

I've played him myself and it was kinda fun but it just feels strange. The dragon thing should have never left pbe... it's a little too "far."

What's next, players will hop in enemy turrets and shoot at them? Olaf will rip apart walls? I mean, thinking outside the box is cool but ... meh.

I still feel his Q is too powerful and makes his gameplay far more binary than needed. A shift of power to the rest of his kit would do the trick decently well and make him even better Bot, without reaching broken levels.

I dont think he can be balanced properly as long as that ability exists.

Oh man I can't imagine a Morde/Soraka bot lane holy hell, literally Morde would NEVER have to leave lane at any time for any reason, and he'd be tanky as fucking hell omg. I remember fighting him on the PBE botlane as Twitch with Galio as my support, hell, either that was a good Morde or Morde is OP!!!! Damn I lost lane not even 10 minutes in, pretty embarrassing to say the least :c.

Arguably the best part about new Morde compared to other "ADCs" is he can't really lose lane. Yeah he can go on a feeding frenzy but a lot of his damage is on his bases or scale with his champion level (total AD) so he will still do something when compared to an ADC that is an item behind their lane opponent. Obviously you don't ever want to be behind but he seems to be much more forgiving than a jinx or Draven in that regard.

Uh... So, if you play something that completely dominates, then it's great balance... yes...

On another note, the enemy should get another support. It's not possible that they allowed Morde to get close enough and for enough time to hit 3 times.
