Or the reality:

Morde was not high damage, he has low ratios and mediocre base damage. This was to make up for multiple AOE's. Against one target he has always suffered.

He was not "high defense": Morde has very low starting health, and if he doesn't get to use his abilities first, the shield doesn't do anything(CAUSE IT ISN'T THERE). When he does have his shield, he is easy to ignore. No CC, no slow, no closer, no dash.

Of course his ult can be a game changer. Many are. Of course he will stomp noobs, any champ can. That doesn't mean that he is overpowered. Overpowered means when all champs are used to THEIR BEST ABILITY one stands out noticably above others. See that "being used at their best ability" part? That means low ELO doesn't get a say in the matter. If he were overpowered, he would be banned regularly in high ELOs. He isn't. He isn't chosen either. In tournaments he isn't banned, or chosen. This is by people seeking EVERY ADVANTAGE to win prizes/money.

What's all of that mean: He wasn't OP.

The nerf is an effort by riot to cater to the lack of intelligence by some of their player base (and customers). Morde frustrates people, they get mad and rage quit.

On the last bizarre post: No, "yanki's" don't hate Brazilians. Brazilians just make funny comments, such as "Morde es #1. " and "Olaf not so good, I miss with axe, weak skill, he bad." That and their Metas are pretty outdated.
