Unviable in your SoloQ but who cares. Tons of fun to play with. Lane bully like no other (very few exceptions I can think of who will ignore his harass or 'counter' him). Push the lane 24/7. Jungler comes to gank? No problem. Either I get double kill or they kill me and get fed (will help me later).

Oh their mid is fed? DFG+Ulti+Ignite, let the pentakills begin.

Joking aside, Morde is in a bad spot right now. I've seen a rise in the popularity of akalis in mid and morde is a great counter to her yet no-one plays him because of the above reasons I mentioned. You will autopush the lane, you will get ganked (I always get 2-3 wards each time I back as when I Morde) and clever players will try to avoid your burst and nuke you down fast in teamfights. Buffing Morde will make him unbelievably OP, nerfing him will make him worse than Heimer. I can't think of anything specific to balance him so he becomes viable in a higher elo SoloQ. GuardsmanBob used to play him for fun back in the day, he hardly does that anymore. His pick rate is low and his win rate is fluctuating around 50% which is normal. Since League of Cleavers/Warmogs/Bruisers began Morde has fallen in a relative obscurity. The items in S3 might offer something better (I still think that Rylandry's is NOT that good on him, imo DFG+Raba+Aby+Zho+Wota is the best way to go) but still we need someone to rediscover something about Morde so he'll become something better or Riot should rework him somehow.
