let me reply.

1) he is banned imho cause of 2 toxic mechanics both aimed to help him not being destroyied in the bot lane vs ranged chamion, but ultimately making him too efficient at surviving.

the first one is the monstrous buff to his shield wich now scale on max health but decay on BASE health this alone make him too hard to poke down cause the uptime of his shield is simply too long compared to the cooldown windows between his ability

the second high toxic mechanic is his w, not the damage, at all, the real problem is the bonus experience. that wes probably a solution in the hypotetical case he get zoned out farm by some ranged champion, the problem is that if he does not, he will simply outlevel you, and there is nothing you can do about it.

the combination of this 2 factors make him such an unstoppable force in early-mid game.

additionally he has a third toxic mechanic, wich is having bonus hp based on his ghost hp, that would be fine.... if he couldnt hire a dragon with 3600 hp as soon as lv 6 without spending a single resource doing so, is like 1150 hp for a minute, plus a 4000hp aoe attacking pet, and is for free..

TLDR: the soultion riot made to make him viable in bot lane are too efficient and give him too many free stats for little to no resurces spent (and i intend effort as a resource)

your argument of "they dont know how to deal with him" might work in solo q, not at worlds imho, proof might be that both times he got picked was first picked by blue team (in a fashion that honestly reminded me season 2 kassadin) even at cost of not having a ranged pushing machine in late game (h2k had only elise as ranged champ while morde had a 13/2/10, a quadrakill and died trying to nexus dive a gnar for the pentakill) proving that he has so much raw power to fix a strategically poor composition (relatively)

2) the difficult to duel morde is not about his w which is maybe the weakest spell, is the conjunction of shield and q, basically you have to disengage a fight before he auto you the third time to win a trade, but if you do you probably didnt break throu his shield, also he replenish his shield WHILE he fight you, that's the problem

3) i dont know how good that renekton was but i know for sure that if i 2v1 someone lv 5 as lee sin and renekton without missing any spell he is supposed to die or run, under no circustance other then diving or an heavy outplay  i should be the one running for my life and none of em occurred, he just standed still and fought, and won also
