I don't understand my teammates banning Morde in Draft games

I mean for starters, I'm in Silver 3, so it's common sense I will be paired with Bronze 5 - Gold 5. Usually I expect the same old Darius Garen Fiora , and even including Katarina , cz y'know, bronze lyfe lol.

But this really questions me. Why ban Mordekaiser ? It's a bronze/silver match, so I doubt they even know what's the benefits or strengths of playing Morde bot. Either it's because there are those who does it to prevent troll picks, or banned him because "BUT LCS DOES IT SO WHY NOT MY MATCH TOO HURR DURR DURR"

So far in all of my matches teamed/going against a Morde bot, mostly when playing Support, I don't see how Morde bot is considered a "threat".

  • Only an idiot stays and let an immobile champion with no jumps & dashes hit him 3 times from his Q.
  • He is an easy dude to poke with just plain AAs.
  • No mobility = Easiest lane to gank(assuming he's not paired with Thresh )

Because morde is so fundamentally broken that it's not worth the risk of not banning him

Garen Darius your same argument for why ban MDK also fits Garen and Darius - no significant gap closers, susceptible to kiting so just counter picking them instead of banning is also logical.
