Can someone explain to me how Attack Speed helps melee characters in fights? It makes sense to me for a ranged carry that has a variation in range that can take advantage of it, but it would seem that melee characters would need to be on the move often enough that attack speed wouldn't matter as much. I would assume that better attack speed would increase how often you can stop moving to attack, but would actually reduce the amount of distance you cover while alternating attacking and moving. Forcing junglers to build attack speed just seems like forcing them to build a stat that won't help them at full efficiency in fights where the enemy team is trying to run or evade. (if everyone just stands around like idiots or get stunned/immobilized I guess it is 100% effective then.) I'm probably missing something very obvious and would appreciate being enlightened. | ||

Of course attack speed not very useful unless you are moving faster than your opponent, this is why pretty much every melee autoattacker has a slow or a speed steroid or a stun and why ghost is relatively common on them. If you just aren't using those than no, attack speed is pretty awful on melee, but every stat you could build would be subpar because... you wouldn't be hitting them. | ||

With lower attack speed you have to stand still for longer each time you attack, so it balances out. | ||

eg. if your target is running from you, it will cover less distance while you're attacking, so you'll catch up earlier, and attack again earlier. If your champ's animation has wind-up frames, you want to animation-cancel as early as possible to resume moving. Speeding the animation helps with that (or "why Ashe with PD kites so much better than Ashe without it"). If (I'm not sure of that) your attack can be canceled by your target moving out of range before the damaging part is played, then having more attack speed to make the damaging part occur faster, giving less time to "dodge" it, would be beneficial too. On another topic, I've been playing some Mordekaiser this week, and haven't for months before that. Would you rather turn your early revolver into a Will or a Gunblade? You'll probably attack a bit between spells, and Q scales a bit from bonus AD but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Stuff like sorcs/mercs, gunblade/wota, rylai, FoN, Zhonya, DC's the kind of items I'd get on him. Not sure if "avoiding buying mana" is worth getting Zhonya. | ||

And ATM there is no trade off with him. He has one of the best ganks, THE best 1v1, and a very high clearspeed. Typically you see only 1 or 2 of those traits in a jungle, not all 3. | ||

Morde's Q scaling is ABSURD, to the degree that if you get a fully stacked BT, the single target damage is enough to take out half of someone's health. The gunblade also has that very useful slow, that lets you get in range to hit someone with your Q. Generally, what you'd want to do as morde is ult their AD, then pop your full combo after gunblade proc and ignite, then spam /l as you watch your ghost wreck their team. Thornmail on Morde is also super troll, because every time they hit you you gain shield and spellvamp :3 | ||

Like, you can build him as an AD bruiser jungler and it's still really effective just because of how versatile his kit is. | ||
