That's their own damn fault. Frankly, the fact that Mord can punish assholes who refuse to buy defense items under any circumstances is extremely good game design. You want to run 400 AD, 30 MR, well, there is a drawback to that.
Mord punishes bad carries who refuse to change their playstyles, and because of that, he is good for the game. I run QSS on Trynd and Banshees on Ez, and I don't have a problem in the fucking world. In fact, if other players haven't fed the shit out of him, I just 1v1 him and win all day long.
I've done it too, but it is balanced. The only way you can do it is if you are fed or just significantly better at the game than them.
Mord is a pubstomper, and yes, I include high rated solo queue in that. I am more than happy to see Mord on an enemy team on any of my good champs, because I know if I play well, I'll beat him consistently. This is the complete opposite reaction I have to Brand, for example, who I know that without a gank, and damn likely even with one, the chance of me stopping him from farming is about zero.
I'm calling it right now: There's a>50% chance that if people continue to complain about Mord he'll end up in queue dodge tier just like Shen and need to be buffed again. He already has gigantic disadvantages to balance out his strengths. Mord is just like Akali right now, in that the scaling might be looked at very slightly, but ultimately, as long as whoever lanes against him/her doesn't eat a dick during laning phase, you are fine.

Just spoilered that for it becoming too long.
This is how you should lane against XZ as WW:
Probably start boots + 3 pots. Or I guess you could go armor + 5 pots, seems excessive though. From what you describe it seems like you're letting XZ bully you in lane. When he walks in to last hit, you should smack him with a Q or an auto attack almost every time. Just whittle him down. You'll take a little minion aggro but you should be able to heal it back up. Also, if you're laning WW, you should probably be prioritizing your Q and E. If you're going to get in a fight, be aware of how many minions each of you has. As melee's you're both going to be tanking minions during the fight. Try to pick fights when you have more or even # of minions.
That lane match up is about you keeping him low with constant minor harass with auto attacks and your Q when he comes in to last hit.
yeah, at equal levels/items I out heal him. That was poorly worded. I was trying to say that his damage minus my healing is greater than my damage minus his healing. (Though you generally only get one or at most two q per fight.)
I am fully willing to admit that the problem may be that *I* can't deal with him. He seems to get an advantage on me early, then it snowballs, then I'm toast.
Boots +3 is what I start with on the vast majority of my champs.
Yeah, that is what I normally do to people in lane, and can deal with just about every one else. It just seems to fail against him. If we trade Qs I seem to come out in second place.
Do you mean prioritize Q and W? Because E just gives run speed. It's pretty much a one point wonder until later. I level R>Q>W>E
So.. any Udyr guides? Either jungle or lane. Or both.

I agree with you, a simple neg cloak usually shuts down his damage quick. And yeah, he has no escapes, initiation, or CC, which should balance out his positives. My problem is that he also never has to leave a lane, ever. We just had a giant nerf to sustain items and supports because of this, I see no reason Morde shouldn't be looked at too in that vein.
He can farm all day and no one can do anything about it. And then late game arrives and he can walk into team fights pop a carry with the push of a button, do some serious damage, and walk right back out since he's such a giant soak. I do think he's a little OP right now, he shouldn't have that kind of sustainability, but I don't have a big problem with his damage or his ult to be honest, as a QSS directly counters him.
Every time you used an ability it would heal and return mana, I think. Amazing on Udyr, think he used to be damn near unstoppable with it. Guardsman Bob used it in the Ionia vs Noxus match.
CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.
We've each done a few PvP games, and emerged relatively unscathed, but I imagine that's only more infuriating.
PvP errday.
i laughed
and then i realized it's possible that this is true
and then i was sad
you don't need stuns and escapes to be overpowered. especially when you have an ult that can ace an entire team. the argument that morde doesn't have CC is pretty useless and stupid.
The only difference is that the AI gets gear whether it feeds or not, so even if you kill it 15 times in lane, it can still deal damage to you.
i dunno, i was bored and watched shushei's stream for a bit and he went zerk + 4 thirsters on yi. that was pretty funny.
yea. i'm pretty sure at least 50% of the player base are worse than the bots.
I knowwwwwwwww
Also instant abilities/skill shots, which they do catch you with from time to time.
Wait what? I remember someone saying that they just get items, but I figured that meant they don't have to teleport back. Do you mean to tell me that gold just isn't a thing for them? Is this only on intermediate?
Basically. They do port back to buy, but you can totally beast a lane and they'll still come back with high end defensive items and decent offensive items. It's why there's such a universal hate for the annie bot, she'll still one shot you even if you're up 70/3 kills.

I should play through Riven in anticipation.
But fuck the fire marbles.
...hmmm, maybe Riven tonight instead of normal Tuesday patch?

You're talking about Amumu's ult, right? One well placed Amumu ult at the right time wins an entire match.
Mord's ult can often be mostly countered, depending on team comp, for a single 1440 gold item (say for a tank + support + 2 AP + 1 AD team comp. No one cares about a ghost Amumu's auto attacks). And unlike most other ults, it negates all its effects rather than half (Tibbers stun can be QSSed out of, but you still get damaged and have to deal with Ursine Garen). And considering how popular AP and hybrid is these days, that single item almost certainly affects 50% or more of their damage.
Basically every Mord rant reads like, "I cannot be arsed to buy QSS," to me. And as many fucking stun heavy comps as there are today:
a. Mord should be stunned all the time.
b. If a character without any CC or gap closer can be useful, good for him. It'll help throw some variety into the 5 stun bullshit I see far too often in 5v5 premades.

Yes he can ace your team, but a lot of things have to happen before that for that to happen.

I feel like he aces teams simply because he can withstand an entire fight and mop up anyone dumb enough to try and keep beating on him. (I constantly have to plead with teams not to waste time trying to kill him.) Though I pretty regularly see Mordes taking on 3v1's and walking out unscathed, he really shouldn't have that kind of sustainability, especially given how easy his lane phase is.
