How strong is Mordekaiser compared to other champions?
How strong is Mordekaiser compared to the Ascended, Targonian champs like Zoe and Panth, and demi-gods like Ornn and Voli?

His reworked biography will be released within a day or two. I'd argue wait till then, because its difficult to say with certainty the extent of his power/might. I will say this however...
The writers desperately need to play up the historical significance/influence/power of Mordekaiser's character. We have only ever been 'told' that Mordekaiser is a big bad guy, yet we've never been shown or given in-depth detail about the extent of his severity. I'd argue the significance of Morde's terror has been the fans using their perception of other fictional characters (like Sauron) as influence on our perception of Morde, rather than any concrete understanding of what he actually is. This needs to change.
Compare his impact or 'threat' level in his current pre-rework state, to any of the other immortal and powerful individuals in Runeterra, and I believe Mordekaiser would struggle to rise beyond the top 5.
● Lissandra ● LeBlanc ● Azir ● Cho'Gath (the implications of his power is devastating) ● Zyra ● Malphite
If I'm considering putting an blind ice-witch, a wanna be courtesan and a sandy bird man all above The Iron Revenant, then there's a problem.
Well, from my understanding, against the average human being Mordekaiser is almost death incarnate. By a simple touch, he can kill you with nigh incurable disease, and once he kills you, he has complete control over your soul. By definition I think he is a Wraith, although im not sure if those exist in this universe. I would say hes probably similar to an ascended in power. He is no god or demi god. Think along the lines of an extremely powerful undead. Kinda like karthus except probably more deadly. In terms of power, he is basically the Sauron of Runeterra. VERY powerful, but he himself is not a god.
I guess we will kinda get a better understanding of it tomorrow.
