Mordekaiser 6.9 Patch

Alright guys it's time for some real talk, I've recently been playing Mordekaiser and it seems as if he falls behind during the laning phases because of the removed Spell vamp. I understand there is the reworked hex-tech which gives life 15 % of damage dealt as health and also 33% less effectiveness when AOE based damage. My main argument here is that he uses a bit of health to use his abilities, he is unlike Vlad who can heal himself or Mundo who has greater Health Regen. I wonder if he can get a slight health regen buff from his current one.
