The problem with Mordekaiser is that it is impossible to balance him because of his ultimate, which scales with his own strength and the strength of the enemies as well. That leads to those situations where the team that has Morde wins games that would have been impossible to win with any other champions. On the other hand it can do nothing at all just as well. Additionally Morde himself is extremely team dependent and can be severely abused by the enemy.

That's why Riot won't really dare to touch him because they have no idea what to do with him with his whole concept being one big contradiction. It seemed fun in the first place but now it's one big dead end.

I fear that he might loose his Ult as soon as Riot directs their attention to him. Up until then you can be damn sure they will do whatever is necessary to prevent him from being viable or even a competitive pick. I assure you, should Morde ever show his face in the competitive scene, Riot will quake in their shoes, because that would mean they would have to do something about his state.
