I've found out the REAL reason Morde is op... (No, its not the XP or the Q)

Its not even the dragon. It's cause Marksmen frekin' **SUCK! **

Seriously, I've been maining Morde since 5.16, and yes his XP passive is total BS and his Q is almost as good as Draven's, but I've after a while I realized the biggest thing Morde brings to a team is a total lack of ADC's, and a much richer support thanks to relic.

Quite a few melee champions can do this just as good or not better - Jarvin and Yasuo are the two I've been running the most, but Xin, Yi, Panth, Ekko, and others can do EXTREMELY well, and they can make plays and engage without needing their support to hold their hand like Morde does.

I was loosing when my one-trick pony Mordekaiser was banned, but now that I'm playing OTHER melee carries bot lane I'm climbing real fast.

Get relic, get a good support, wreck face!

Hahaha, touche. I played him quite a bit in s1 and s2, if that makes it any better.

Morde can do about 4k damage with his Q with full AD, that is not including the other hits either. He is basically just a big gimmick champion with a bunch of gimmick things to make him unfair to really play against.

Dragon: Yeah, you defend your tower. He DARES YOU. EXP: Yeah, you try to win lane when your about 2 levels behind him. Tell me how that works out. Q: I'll just have to two hit this minion, flash Q somebody to death the E so I get a free kill. (I've done this one before, it is pretty funny because the enemy team can't actually do anything about it. You can't react to me flash suiciding Q, and if you have a shield to stop me then i'll just use E beforehand.)

In the same time period Morde gets off three q's, Draven gets of 5 for considerably more damage. I'm not saying its fair, but considering that's most of the damage of Morde's kit, and damage is pretty much the only thing he has. Having it all loaded into three autos from the lowest attack speed MELEE champion in the game hardly reeks of low counterplay. I don't know were you are getting that 4k number for an AD build - the AD ratio is 3.9 over 3 autos, or 6.9 if you include the base AD - that comes down to 542 AD, while if we are just talking about the third q it is 1032 AD, or if we are just talking about the bonus damage (which makes the most sense, as the auto would done that damage regardless) is 1415 AD. Good luck with that.

Pretty much any glass-cannon melee can kill a squishy if they get on top of them - Morde has to actually hit minions first, and burn flash to do this - sure its a gimmick, but a predictable and telegraphed one that anyone playing against him should learn REAL quick.

The XP passive is bullshit, like I said in the post. It gives him a huge cheesy lead early game, then is nearly worthless post-6.

As far as dragon goes, I'd like to see his dragon's health decay at 2.5/2/1.5% max hp per second so that dealing it damage makes it expire faster, just like Azir's turrets.

You really have to be the dumbest player in the world to not react to his Q proc'ing. Really dumb... You see him activating and proc'ing, you simply stand back until it expires. If you respect his Q then you will find yourself eating less Cheese! every time. Simple as that.

This Morde is just bad, butchered base stats, all damage shifted to a slow, 3 proc'ing AA ability, and slow as hell. A big fuck you to us Morde main and ex-mains alike.

And if its not enough, they almost changed his title to a redundant and generic name without even realizing he already had a lord skin which would make the skin feel inferior just in name. That shows how little they know about their champ. They aren't even making research about it, they are simply going bad shit wild with the ideas on him.

It's his AoE damage that goes through minion waves every 5 seconds.

The issue is really his snowball potential due to the xp passive on his w granting him free levels and the ability to translate that power into free dragons and then free other objectives. I personally feel Morde isn't that OP, perhaps I'm biased about it but I feel the champion has massive amounts of counter play and can be negated largely by his immobility.

To address the other comments, I have mained Morde for almost 4 years now and I can say that without a doubt the current iteration of Morde is the most fun to play, the most powerful and the healthiest for the game. I'm sure people will disagree but when I first saw the changes, I was sad about losing Morde as a mid laner, however I was more excited about how strong Morde would become.
