Mordekaiser is miserably bad in high elo

When juggernaut Mord improved massively with ELO and having challenger/GM one tricks in multiple lanes to seeing nuMord being a pub stomp only choice, it kind of bums you out. Not to mention how his skill ceiling has completely vanished with the rework.

Will we be seeing power adjustments to him at some point to even out the blatant disparity? There is far too much power loaded into his ultimate which quickly starts dropping off in its value once the people you actually want to use it on pay their QSS tax, and in his passive being relatively uninteractive no downtime damage having to be balanced by giving him abysmal numbers until he inflates them with Liandrys.

This just in: juggernauts are horrible design choices that never should have been implemented in the first place.

Auto-winning if you get in range and losing if you don't is boring, predictable, and not a stable balance mechanism.

That's before taking QSS into consideration with Morde.

If more were like Mundo or Nasus where they have ramp-up time over the course of the game, it'd be a bit better, but even then they end up extremely feast/famine.

Moody, we need some counterplay with the QSS purchase. Let's not blame it on that one.

Now, following your argument about the ultimate stats load, and how he gains extra stats, you are right. When i Ult with morde, i have a small voice in my head that is telling me to kill my target under 7 secs, but that's not the reason why i ulted in the first place. I think that should be put into consideration. He needs some tweaks from the ult into something else.
