Does Morde need another rework?

Feels like old Morde was better in terms of solo-queue viability.

Dragon ghost is too gimmicky.

Current Morde is fucking awful. After his botlane introduction failed horrendously, he's been practically fucking ignored.

-His base stats are horrific -His health costs on abilities are horrific early game -He will never able catch someone actively trying to get away from him -Too much of his ult budget his tied up in getting dragon -Too many of his items were nerfed/he has stupid interactions with certain items

The damn health costs. They hurt so much more with Spell Vamp effectively gone, his W is weak, and shield doesn't charge nearly enough from minions.

The health costs aren't that noticeable to me. And spell vamp isn't completely gone. You can still get it in runes and masteries. Also item 3146 's passive is basically the old Will of the Ancients which was a spell vamp item. It's one of the reasons why it's my #1 core item on Morde no matter what build I go for.

Health costs are very noticeable early game, particularly if you didn't get to pick Morde as a counter. The spell vamp from runes and masteries was always kinda there, the real hurt is on first back no item gives you spellvamp.....unless you stayed in lane forever and have enough to straight buy Gunblade. Used to be able to at least pick up revolver and get some nice basic sustain.

You must be overusing your abilities then. The health costs are very rarely a problem for me.

He's not as bad as you think. The main problem with Morde is his bugs honestly. I main him and his health costs don't really affect me even at the beginning of the game. And hextech gunblade fixes that problem nearly completely.

One of the main problems with Morde is that he is currently in a meta where CC/Impossible to kill tanks are meta and Morde is not the juggernaut he was reworked as, he is an AP carry. This makes him even worse by the fact that Morde has no kit designed to be a carry. Riot either needs to fully commit to AP carry (does plenty of damage already) and give him a kit designed around an AP carry (dashes, cc, escape, etc) or rework him with a kit that makes him beefy enough to be a true juggernaut. Either way the 2nd rework feels more like a temp fix while Riot buys time to rethink his game play (hopefully).
