He has only been available for a month.

Not everyone buys champions as soon as they come out.

And smart people don't take a champion into ranked until they have a decent understanding of how to play them.

Has a really low playrate so most of the people that play Ivern actually know how to play Ivern well.

Meanwhile Mordekaiser sits at a 48% win rate mid and 51% top. While also only being played by enthusiasts-

yeah but ivern isn't being played on a role that your kit already puts you at a disadvantage the entire game. At least he can do his stuff in the jungle and do an early lvl 1 buff steal cheese to get ahead early. Ivern has it easier for him to have a higher winrate than Morde ever will due to where they are both being played

How does Morde's kit put him at a disadvantage when rolling top or mid?

Didn't ask me, but thought I'd chime in: hardcounter in matchups is more punishing on melees, and Morde is probably one of the biggest cases of "doesn't do enough when not in someone's face" so naturally by parsing data from a lot of games, the games against teams that can effectively nullify him, bring him down, regardless of whether the player controlling Morde is good or not.

Add to that that Morde is overall not too powerful after the rework and nerfs, in comparison to Ivern who's power is just placed in things harder to understand, brush creation for one is very hard to quantify properly, and is almost a dead spell for inexperienced players.
