"He's in a horrible place now" You obviously don't play Morde, or you are really bad with him, because he isn't.

Those nerfs several patches ago really hurt his early game, but other than that he is fine. He is a good niche pick that counters many champions and has counters in turn.

The whole reason people build Full AP on Morde is because without CC tank Morde is objectively useless to his team. Even back in S1 and S2 when you could build FoN, Tmail, and Warmogs on him (Which I used to do) it was still more effective to build him full damage, as all the high-elo Morde mains like Neryth, Fear the Mace, and Murderkaiser used to do.

If they force Morde to be another unoriginal AP fighter, he will go from being a good niche pick to a bad pick overall, because picks like Rumble, Maokai, Cho, Malphite, and Vlad would just be better versions of him.
