Mordekaiser

Riot, I love Mordekaiser, and he's probably one of my favorite champs at the moment, but goddamn he is so useless sometimes. I've had some ideas of how Morde can be buffed a little so that he's still fun to play as, but also not extremely useless, especially in a 1v1, or even a team fight

So, Mordekaiser has absolutely no stuns, slows, snares, etc. I think that he should. When he's chasing someone down, there's no way he's gonna be able to catch up, unless he uses flash and E and ult perhaps. I really wish that would change. I think that at least one of his abilities should have some kind of movement debuff added to it, for example, his E would slow enemies by at least a small amount when he hits them. If not his E, at least his ult, or SOMETHING. But Mordekaiser definitely needs one of his abilities to have a movement impairment added to it, so he isn't totally useless except in teamfights

And even if that isn't acceptable, I think his passive should have something like Annie's, where every certain amount of abilities used on enemies should stun. I feel like something like that would work out nicely for Morde

So Riot, if you do see this, please take this into consideration. I love Mordekaiser and I love playing as him, but it's irritating basically just having to poke enemies from the start and then teamfight for the rest of the game to do anything effectively. I need to be able to chase and kill, especially in a 1v1. If the enemy starts to run, that's the end of it. They got away, and there's no way I'll be able to get them because for one, I'm immobile, and two, I can't impair movement

I can be extremely forgiving and say Morde was at least playable before patch 5.4,

But really atm, it is just ridiculous. Why nerf the shiet out of him and dump him into the rubbish bin when there are like 20 something champs that could really use the hammer instead of him?

You do have to remember that at the moment, playing against Mord is just cancer. He needs a small rework to make him more fun to play against, too.

He is the only guy who has nothing of neither CC or mobility and he ges massive damage + tankyness for it.

A champ with 0 cc and 0 mobility just cannot survive in the current meta (or any meta).

Morde has a history of getting indirectly nerfed through item changes. DFG used to be key to helping his burst. Force of Nature was godlike on him. The health regen item changes and his base health regen nerf made sure that those items aren't as effective on him anymore.

I don't think adding a slow is going to help much though, there's too much mobility in today's League for a slow to mean much. Ashe "I used to be the League's kiting champion." Kalista "Stop living in the past."

Here's two changes that I think would be nice for Morde:

  1. Increase his base MS. He's got 0 mobility, and that little magnet effect on his shield is hardly noticeable and highly situational since it can't be cast directly on the enemy. Let him be able to run down people.
  2. If we must give him some kind of CC, give him a silence. Silence shuts down just about any mobility, allows you to stick to your target (especially with your buffed MS from suggestion 1), and can allow him to interrupt channeled abilities. Adding counterplay could be easy if we attach the silence to his shield; so that as long as he's on top of you he's got you nice and quiet. However, without a gapcloser or a stun, it's completely possible to prevent him from getting close enough to silence you. (For balance purposes, let's say that only the shield that surrounds Morde himself has the silence effect, not one that he gives to an ally)

he needs a rework
