Ideas for Mordekaiser

Hi, I know this may seem a bit out of place, but I feel like much of the league community has forgotten about the black armor clad, "Master of Metal", mace-wielding, Mordekaiser . In my opinion I feel as if he gets outclassed by so many better picks in the roles he's viable in. They reworked him to be more of a bot lane duo champion, but he received quite a bit of nerfs and along with traditional adcs and supports building items more focused around supporting said adcs, he doesn't really work there. He could** mid lane** and some decently high elo players play him there and top (I'll get to that later). The problem in mid lane is the only lane he could semi win is a melee matchup since ranged champs could kite him and he has virtually no gap-closers except item 3152 and summoner 4. He is supposed to be a tanky fighter/mage with high burst. The problem with this is when you can't get to the enemy to burst them.** Top lane** he could be played I suppose but there he is so far away from his lvl 6 pet dragon (a really unique feature don't get me wrong), but when the only lane he can really be played in is top and the objective is on the other side of the map, you have to either tp or roam down there yourself (but you miss out on a couple waves top and pressure that top lane exerts). The last role is jungle (playing him support with the current champion pool for that role being so good with items and new runes he can't really do anything there.) in late season 5-6 strength of the ages was really good on him because of the health scaling (after it was removed people used flat health runes which we don't have anymore) and I feel like new grasp tries to incorporate the concept with it's gaining permanent health whenever you aa someone after 4 seconds in combat etc. If he is played jungle (which could be viable since he could go take dragon at his convenience) but other junglers just outscale him and do better in team comps and output more pressure. The gap-closer he had before item 3152 was stormraiders, (and yes I know Phase Rush is a thing on him but you miss out on a lot of damage if you take it over other the other keystones available). This post sounds like a complaint and yes I am aware I made it sound like such, but the point I'm trying to make here is that if he had a gap-closer or something that allowed for him to catch up to people so that he could burst them then my proposed solution would be, maybe making him gain temporary mvspeed whenever he uses his empowered q aa's or let it /one of his other abilities slow down enemy champions. Sorry if it seemed like a rant or a complain but I just think that he does have a lot of issues that need to be somewhat addressed such as stated above. Thanks for reading all of it if you did means a lot.
