LOL, no, Morde is not OP.

He's not high damage. Medium base damage on spells with low AP ratios to compensate for AOE's.

He is not high defense. VERY low starting health, and a "shield" that is really effective hitpoints, directly needing armor and MR. Also, his "defense" only goes up if he has something to hit. Severely weakened now.

His ult changes games: All good ones do. Morde, Rumble, Morganna, Vlad, Gragas, Ashe, Amumu, Galio, Nunu... big deal.

The reality : Morde is being nerfed to compensate for their customer base's general low skill. New players, and new players that will stick around and SPEND MONEY on skins, get frustrated. Morde played decently is a very frustrating champ, as you don't seem to be hurting him because of his shield.

Is Morde OP? Well, if he was OP he would be banned in high ELO's: He isn't. Ever. If he was OP he would be played in high elo's when not banned: He is played very very rarely.

If he was OP, he would be banned in tourneys for cash/rpizes: Ultra rare, twice in all of season 1's webcasted tourneys? If he was OP, he would be picked in tourneys for cash/prizes: Since they are looking for every advantage they can get, this one should be the best determining factor. The philipine team chose him at Dreamcast a couple times and that was it?

If he was OP these things would all be answered positively. They're not.

As for "Yanki's" hating Brazilians. LOL. No. Not even close. They simply are the one's to credit with the original "Morde es #1 huehuehue" post, along with other such brilliant lines as "Olaf: I miss with ax too much, he is not good. Bad champ."
