They said you have to pick a ranged champion against Mordekaiser

https://euw.op.gg/champion/mordekaiser/statistics/top

but then it's very funny, because when you go to his lane match up win rate (go "strong against" and click on counter), you see that he SMASHES everyone amongst them (with the only exception of Vayne).

talk abou kiting him when he has a longer darius hook, movement speed steroid and ranged abilities.
