after extensive gameplay with the latest morde, I can say that he's in an OK spot right now.

he's still a champ that completely lacks mobility, but at least he has a functional W in a solo lane.

so he's pretty much where he used to be (toplane). strong lane presence with clear strengths and weaknesses, and has clear counterplay in lane.

his midlane is still fucked with the nerfs to his E. he can reliably play toplane against most melees, but still loses to the melees that are just overall cancer to deal with (xin, volibear, jax, and olaf, for example)

my suggestion? revert E range nerf, and throw in slightly higher AP/base ratios on his E (not much, just a tiny bit to make midlane possible again). other than that, don't touch him.

good thing that it took months to give morde his second ability back. no, I'm not bitter, why do you ask?

Are you basically saying, he is still inferior to Old Morde? What was the point of this overall rework process? To make Morde worse than before?

his power was shifted around. he can tangle with sustained damage better, but has lowered immediate burst than before. ultimately, he's still in the same position he was before. I don't know if you'd consider it inferior, but I think it took him in somewhat of a correct direction since he can now at least tangle with cancer like olaf and at least dent his health bar

Old Morde had far fewer bad matchups at top (With my personal build). And he could tangle with those champions you mentioned in your post already, his worst matchups were ranged (far worse now with the new him), Old Morde couldn't lose to a melee at top when used right for most of the time. Was more mobile, had better sustain, and overall base stats. He just feel like a squishy nuker now that has to commit and pray things don't go wrong. Without mentioning quite more predictable now. But that's just my opinion of course. I quit LoL for good after this disaster of rework on my favorite champion (Haven't bothered reinstalling or looking at feeds for a couples of months already).

My favorite matchups at top where:

Riven (cancer?) Darius Tryndamere (cancer? Fiora (cancer?) Garen Singed Akali (cancer?) Fizz (cancer?) Rumble Rengar (cancer?)

and so on.

So right now, I don't know anything about the game or Morde in that sense. Just commenting on your post so don't take my words for granted.

To me, this rework was really a loss for me. I hate Morde now and with it I quit the game. Old Morde was simply more effective and a lot more fun to play as. This Morde, howerver, it's been held back by bullshit limitations and design "balance".

Dunno, I just don't like all chat my enemy laner in order to ask him to stay still so I can land my full Q. I loved Morde when he was a semi mobile mage, but can't say the same on this squishy immobile melee version... Having a champion's win ratio hurt is just one indication, that perhaps, that version is inferior to the old. I'm pretty sure is not because people are still learning new Morde as it's been months already. Again this is just my personal opinion, don't take my words for granted.

Kind regards,

it solved none of the problems that he was known for, so, for all intents and purposes, he is still the same champion.
