Well the main problem is that he has no CC, and even if he does get rylai's, he doesn't have any single target moves besides his ult, so the slow is only 15% percent on all of his abilities.
Second, he's extremely predictable. The only thing mord can do to you is run up to you, put his shield on, do his cone, and then hit you with his mace. If he has ult and ignite up, then he'll do that too. If that doesn't kill you, he just blew everything he had and he's now trying to auto attack you.
While I'm not saying he's a bad character, it's just that high ELO players know exactly what mord is going to do to them, and can take steps to avoid, or better, counter it.

Your sig is the best. I love you.
On topic: Well Morde can do all that what you said if you've got a good tank/initiator. After the teamfight is initiated, he should just pick a squishy and kill it, and he's done. If he can do more, then all the better. But I think that people underestimate Morde way too often and stay and try to focus him down. I speak from personal experience and 2-3 quadra kills. He can easily turn the tides with his
Children of the Grave and his shield is not to be underestimated. But that's just my opinion. Thanks for the feedback!

Morde is good in all elos. Especially in solo que.
Maybe not as good in tournaments, but he's even viable there.

Morde is extremely strong in solo queue at the moment. People have typically been building him wrong, using some sort of tanky AP build while VMan7 and Dyrus have been busy patenting a straight AP build. Revolver, Lich Bane, Deathcap let you farm insanely well while still being able to burst for about 2000 health in a 1v1 and basically never dying in lane. The counter to a good Morde at this point is team coordination, with repeated ganks from the jungler and maybe the roamer, if you have one. Because this isn't very common in solo queue, a good Morde can completely out-CS the mid lane or the top lane and go gank, and apply pressure on the weakest player of the enemy team.

Recently against ALL mords, I realised that beyond early-mid game, they are seemingly useless 0.o. However, he still is decent. I've seen most people just continue building up on tankiness beyond Hextech Revolver/Gunblade, becoming practically useless after a single survival item build on.
I think Mord shouldn't go out of Full AP or high AP at the very least, rather than building him as a tank. He doesn't have anything that makes him good as a tank besides decent stats and a skill to slightly boost a target, but with a nice clone of the opponent's carry, the entire team gets ripped apart within seconds.
I usually see scenarios like Mord early game dealing MASSIVE damage while Mord late game does WEAK amounts of it.

Hope whatever I say helps! :D
PS : Not all my criticism is good. Most of the time, I just talk like that anyway. So forgive me if you get offended, unless you just can't look from my angle, or at least close enough.
