Partners for new Morde Botlane
Hey there, Master Fledgling here.
In case you live under a rock, Mordekaiser is getting a big nudge into a very unique role: AD bruiser Carry in the bot lane. He will get lots of bonus XP to make it feasible, has new AD scalings, has a cool shield for him and his ally that also heals, Q is a stacking auto attacking modifier, he can CONTROL THE DRAGON, etc.
All this boils down to a very fun and strong new way to play if I've understood it all. Obviously, the difficulties will be numerous, good enemy ADC's poking the crap out of you and punishing your immobility, but certain supports can sure all that up. The ones I have thought of so far that I'd LOVE feedback on are:
- Lower's their MR for Morde crushing, silence, 2.25 fear for the slow Morde
- Similar to Fiddlesticks -- 2.25 taunt, works well with Morde's buddy shield, the new items benefit him greatly (dead man's plate)
- even MORE exp to get Morde that edge in lane, an AOE stun with zoning, a DISGUSTING 99% slow or speed up OR BOTH for Morde and a revive.
Bruh.
- Simply has tons of lock down for the big man to unload damage on the enemy.
- A wall, stun and AOE slow, but serious mana problems
- Hook someone, lantern in Morde, throw up the box, flay them to stay still -- gross lock down.
- Attack Speed steroid for Morde, another shield for them, knock up and, of course, he can put a squishy ADC or support in the ring with the Morde (Bonesaw is ready)
- A slow, stun, good damage with percentage on W and can pin someone down with R or bring them in for a kill
- One of the best CC's in the game via his Q (admittedly hard to hit), does damage with W regardless, slow and poke AND armor shred with E, panic button ult for more CC
- Great at all ins, has a stun and a slow and a big ol' AOE knock-up-slow-majigger. Will help alleviate poke from the enemy ADC
There are many more, I'm sure, but these are the ones that have jumped to me. If you can think of some, please let me know!

EDIT -- if you've one you want me to add to the list, give me a quick synopsis about why it's a good idea and I'll tag it on!
Any champion that can help Morde get all 3 Qs off on the same target deserves a goddamn medal. Heavy poke and a speed up + tank buff also help the laning phase pre 6, but we all know Idol of Durand is where it's at.
