http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Mordekaiser_The_Master_of_Metal

Preface: One of (if not the best) pressure solos you can have. #1 on the Brazilian tier list too. Mordekaiser starts off tanky and just gets tankier as the game goes on. His role is tanky magic DPS, not unlike Vladimir. Except he's melee. And tankier. And not as gay as Vladimir. And has a better physical:magical damage spread.

Runes:
Red Magic Penetration
Yellow Flat Armour
Blue Flat MR
HP Quints (swap for whatever if you like)

Masteries: 0/21/9

Summoner spells: Ghost/Ignite

Skill order: R > W > Q > E, but take 1 level of E any time between Levels 1-4 for ranged farming in case of super-gay lane

Items: Doran's Shield+HP pot opening, rush HoG if you're rich, otherwise get Boots 1 and then the defensive item of choice (FoN for magic heavy, Randuin's for physical heavy). You may choose to slow down your defensive item in place of Boots 2. (Tabi/Ionia/Merc/Sorc all pretty ok, individual choice. I am biased towards Tabi because it gives shitton of MS)

Tabi/Warden's Mail is something I almost always get every game though. It lets you run away from a 4man gank like lololol.

Playstyle: I always solo top. Farm like a boss. I like to keep my lane pushed just to be a faggot and hope the enemy solo can't farm cos of their own turret KSing everything. This obviously leaves me open to jungler gank, so watching their CS with Tab is pretty important (but I hardly do it). If you can make it to like Level 5/6 with full HP and Regrowths/Boots/Tabi you're pretty immune to jungler gank already. Try to keep the lane pushed, then hide in the brush. This way, you put a large gap between you and the enemy solo, keeping you relatively safe(r) from ganks. If you can survive gank by popping Ghost, by all means do it. Otherwise just go down fighting like a man, or farm one last wave before dying. Buy your items while dead, then Ghost back like a bro.

Shield generation: W generates shield like CRAZY. Just Alt+W, then run into a bunch of creeps. Makes you virtually unharassable. You do this a lot all game, especially in the laning phase.

Killing people: Pop Ghost (if you have it), Alt+W, Q, E, R, Ignite, Q/E/W again when it's up. Pretty easy. Being able to kill someone immediately before a 5v5 fight is HUGE. Makes it like 5.5 versus 4.

Creep buffering, or farming between turrets: Doing this often gets me killed. If you've ever played Axe/Centaur in DotA, the premise is the same. You run past the first turret, and just plop yourself in that brush between the 2 turrets, killing every wave that passes you with your QWE combo. You do this when you have the upper hand in the lane already.

GLHF

Edited to reflect new item build. Note that I haven't played Morde (and LoL in general) much. Take advice with pinch of salt.

nyxnyxnyx #1 morde, I've seen it!

A lot of morde is knowing when to run and when to fight.

If you can't speak spanish or portuguese don't bother buying him as you won't be able to use him to his full potential. Spanish people are 100% like brazilians on US.

So I maybe just don't understand the meme or something, but is he literally #1 on the Brazilian tier list?

Or is that just some kind of joke. I can't tell.

I posted something similar to this in the heap of the old thread and a few people were like WAT W BEFORE E? U CRAZY? Glad to see that you're doing the same thing and that people aren't spamming skills in E like it's the best thing ever.
Howerver, I know this is even more pronounced in the latest changes with Morde, his E is even worse.

Also, since the changes, has anyone tried the more ap/carry style morde in a real game and been viable? I've only done it in horrible matches when I knew we had a steady main tank, it worked well for the most part.

His AP ratios are still shitty and if you build him pure AP you will get focused down relatively easily. I would stack magic pen over AP if you wan't some extra damage ex. guise, sorc shoes.

I'd go 9/0/21 mastery setup with Morde. Yes... all his spells are short (except ult) on cooldown to begin with, but almost all of his damage comes from his spells so why not capitalize it? If you wan't extra armor you can always get flat armor runes. es es the best, #1, best, shield es always win, never loose

Getting sorc boots is the extent of it. As said, shit ratios stillll shit. Raising from 0 to .2 like no raise huehuehue.

the only serious thing I can say about Mordekaiser is that this one asshole I was playing last night would just W the leading Melee creep each wave and it would basically instantly give him full shield, it was pretty damn annoying.

Yeah, his W is pretty fucking good and always has been. I don't know why I hardly ever see Mordes use it as flexibly as it should be

wat, teemo and irelia have pretty damn good deeps, and annie provides quite a bit of ap deeps. granted, their teemo has kind of a retarded build (hextech wtf?) but the hero itself can output quite a bit of dmg. also kind of a shitty irelia build too, but w/e

That build seems ok, but in my experience, the best build is here

Morde Guide

Basically, its a semi magic pen build.
Spells - ghost/ignite
I like the 9-0-21 build, with the attack masteries building up to the 15% magic pen.
A general build for him is dorans sheild + health to start
Boots + 1 regrowth or 2 reqrowths depending on lane
then upgrade boots to sorcerers treads
Force of Nature
Sunfire or thornmail depending on team comp
Rylai's or frozen, based on preference to hit slow or spell slow
Abyssal scepter
Sell dorans for randuins

Skills are 1-e 2-q 3-e 4-w then R>E>Q>W or W>Q depending on play style

Playstyle early is farm and try to get a kill if you can at level 6 if the opponant has about half health (Creeping, siphon, mace, ignite, children should be good enough)
Then you try to pick off any carries with cotg in teamfights. The resulting 6v4, or something similar, can really turn the tide of a battle into an ace for you.

At last!

A tierlist where TF is at the same level as Morgana. I knew this would become reality.
And all is illuminated.
