You're missing the point. As it is now in live, Mordekaiser's W is ALREADY useless.

What they're doing is not like removing TF's E if you don't play him support. What they're doing is comparable to removing TF's Q if you don't play him mid. "Oh no, Q is his most important ability!" Yes, in mid. But it's useless if you play TF top or jungle. Fact being that either top or jungle TF already sucks.

I do think that they should make W actually useful in a solo lane (maybe make it castable on yourself with the same effects on the second cast, i.e. damage + heal), but being able to use Creeping Death in a solo lane and not being able to use Harvester of Sorrow in a solo lane is THE EXACT SAME THING, because Creeping Death is wasted health in the laning phase.

I hate that he has one less ability as a solo laner, I really do. But what I hate even more is that people act like it's worse than before, yeah, because apparently having a skill that gives you a pitiful +10 resistances until level 8 and only deals damage if the enemies are near you or your minion (for 6 seconds!) helps a lot, right? If anyone stays near anything surrounded with that thing for that much, then either you're playing against monkeys or they can ignore it. And don't tell me having 10 more armor and magic resistance is even going to be noticed, because that's bullshit.

The fact isn't that Mordekaiser has two usable abilities now (besides his ult). The problem is that he still doesn't have his third laning ability. And that would be a real reason to complain.
