I am all for Mordekaiser getting some form of health sustain but his lack of health sustain is... part of his charm. You see, his...... early weakness comes from that.... So the chalenge is to keep that weakness, but still instil a way to heal. As such the way to heal needs to be harder than normal.

There are two ways of getting past your new passive.

1. poke him to prevent it from healing him so that he keeps on building up shield past its cap (thus waisting it)

2. wait for him to heal off his shield as it is more efficient to kill him that way. (The shield is worth twice what it heals)

That leads to some hard to play agianst monster of a mordekaiser (he already is that).

I see that you gave him some CC. WHILE EVERY NON ASSASSIN SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 1 FORM OF CC!!! I don't think mordekaiser needs it. INSTEAD!! i think the Q (if it hits a lone champion) shoudl heal mordekaiser.

So we give him that lone form of health sustain, but only during duels (without a creep wave) or on the last minion of a creep wave.

This gives counter play to the enemy. Unfortunatly Mordekaiser will still be.... qwerky.... after he gets spell vamp....... What NEEDS to happen is RIOT needs to make him no longer benefit from purchased spell vamp, but give him his own form of sustain. that way it can be controlled.
