Beating Mordekaiser Bot Lane, how?

So hey. I see Mordekaiser's absent from patch notes, so I assume Riot's not looking into balancing him any time soon. Maybe he is, in fact, balanced. I do keep losing to him, though, because I don't have enough practice against one and generally feel completely overwhelmed when he pushes me under tower. I can't tank minions, and I can't afford to let his support Thresh/Blitz/Leona grab me within the minion wave and get me killed.

So what are some tips and tricks you guys have for beating Mordekaiser bot lane? Assume that the jungler has absolutely no interest to come gank (100% of my games against bot Morde) and so, I have to do it with just me and the support. I tried poking, but Mordekaiser's shield is usually up. If I just focus on poking Mordekaiser, I end up tanking minions/support, so maybe I'm doing something wrong there.

What champion do I pick? What items do I buy? What general laning strategies do you employ to get success?

tl;dr what weaknesses can I take advantage of?

Its good to pick a harass adc against him (something with good range) to deal with him. He's also incredibly reliant on his supp. He has to have a supp like blitz or thresh or else he's kinda screwed since he wont be able to get ontop of you.

ADC's to play against Morde - Caitlyn Corki Ezreal Kalista Jinx Lucian Sivir Tristana

Supports to play against Morde - Annie Janna Karma Lulu Morgana Nami Sona Soraka Zyra

If you noticed, no melee supports. ADC's have escapes/mobility. All have harass. Never pick a melee support in to him. Don't try to all in him 2v2 unless he's low. Make sure he doesnt get his 3rd Q stack off on you. Don't let them get between you and your turret.

early game lv1-3 morde is surprisingly tanky and does a little damage. if he brings a squishy support focus the support in an all in. then kite morde cause without support he's easy to kite.

Mordekaiser is the ADC equivalent of a Lane Bully top lane. Fighting him head on is not the smartest move in general.

Focus on out farming and outscaling him. He has power curve makes him supreme from the early to mid game, but his play style makes him drop off like a rock come late game. If you can play a long ranged Hyper Carry or Utility Carry, make sure to play defensive early on, and let the game carry on until he drops off and you don't, you win. If you try to play a Burst Carry bot and try to fight him all the time. You will most likely lose. Hard. Really, really, third hit Q hard.

Pick long range disengage. Stuff like Janna, Ali, Cait etc. Then just never go within his range
