I remember CertainlyT saying that people right now are not building Mordekaiser properly because he thinks that everyone building Gunblade Third was a mistake. Did he retract on that and thought that giving Mordekaiser longfight sustain issues was the solution to his oppresive fighting patterns? I think in general the sustain and healing from the W was a needed change but denying him a double-up teambang with his partner seems like a big deal in terms of overall damage, especially considering the situation where the two zones overlap is very rare. I can understand that if it's very "rare" occurence then what's the point in having it but I don't get why also remove it if it's rare anyways.

At least the damage DoT was buffed and now you can self-cast it so you have something to do when your partner isn't with you and you can somehow fight if you get 2v1. It's also a slight buff to SoloLane Mordekaiser since you can now sustain a trade when you get in Melee Range.

As far as i'm aware for everything else, just seems to be numerical round-ups(E still has irregular numbers, wish they could buff it if at all) and basically saying "You don't level up Q first". His armor being lowered also means it's easier to dent him considering he has a shield but 1.35 armor+ at level 18? Really? I wish it was 4 instead of 3.75, the difference is ever minor and only ever becomes relevant at around level 11.

I still think he should be playable and be competitive in Bottom Lane and he will be played if at all in the TopLane. I just think that not going for Spellvamp now will be a severe mistake and that getting Gunblade Third is now more so viable than it was before(I have played him without going for Gunblade and he doesn't have any sustain issues in long fight provided you use your Aura during a Melee engage). The only thing that changed is that he doesn't have free sustain, he doesn't push waves like a madman when he is with a partner, so traditional botlanes can fight him properly now and that he actually needs Gunblade instead of going full Juggernaut. Hoping this will quit him from permaban.
