I feel Mordekaiser has been about the same as before. Really strong laning vs certain mid laners, and a very binary teamfight (get ghost + stay alive -> WIN, didn't get ghost/died -> LOSE). | ||

I guess what I'm asking just what should I be doing with Mordekaiser when I play him mid lane. | ||

Try to find some VODs of westdoor0204 playing Mordekaiser. He is really good at it and one of the few high Elo players who actually plays this champion. | ||

I guess what I'm asking just what should I be doing with Mordekaiser when I play him mid lane. pardon the double negative but you can't not push with morde because the more you shove the more you shield if morde ever gets caught with his shield down he's one of the squishier melees and hes probably just dead | ||

He has some decent lanes but I still think hes bad. He basically offers you map pressure because he pushes really hard, he can bully reasonably well in lane vs some mid/short range champs, and he has decent damage. He offers no CC or global threat though and he is really easy to camp. | ||

DONT FORGET TO HUE!!!!, that's the spirit of mordekaiser  . I think his damage could be game changer, but lack of cc, or hard mobility makes him scale off in current meta | ||

I am a bit worried if this is mostly due to the MMR level (often people underestimate my lanestrength due to passive). As well as the viability of the tanky build in higher MMR, if I manage to keep climbing my MMR rating. I basically rush a guise, sorcs and anti-item vs my lane opponent and bank on MPen+Base damages; mpen seems to work suprisingly really well with Sunfire/Thornmail. 1) Any Mordekaisers out there know if he's viable as a tanky toplaner in higher than gold-Low Plat? 2) Is a Sheen item viable? Looking at that sweet sweet Q and reasonable low CDs. Always push never not push, always take towers never not take towers. | ||

Looking at that sweet sweet Q and reasonable low CDs. Always push never not push, always take towers never not take towers. 1) Who cares, as long as he's fun? hhauehuaheueheuhue 2) Absolutely. There are a few caveats, though. The biggest is that there's not really a smooth build path. Usually you're busy stacking resists and mpen early, and that's when Sheen is strongest. Second, you're already very kiteable in fights, and sheen is useless if you can't auto people. That said, it is glorious glorious when the game is right. As for which Sheen upgrade to get: Triforce, always and forever. You must channel your inner Caller. Morde is not real Morde without the vroom vroom speeds. IBG might look like it makes more sense, but if you have true BR spirit you know that there is only one item for you. oh and sheen ups make your towerkilling so vastly faster, it's absurd | ||

With Ghost/Teleport+MSpeed Runes and Mastery, I haven't really had that many issues with ganks/camps. I main support so I buy a ton of wards; I'd imagine in higher MMR it'd be a problem where people are more sneaky, but so far the delay in items vs moar wards is well worth the trade off since passive makes me so strong in lane anyway. Focusing 100% on towers is the easiest way to win at my MMR anyway. Fuck KDA. hue EDIT: Will try TF next time, fasterested towers bettestest towerz. | ||

Mordekaiser is my jam. Also I'm sure if you have good wardage and run ghost on Mordekaiser top lane you'd be fine. I play Darius top lane and that's how I usually deal with ganks. And then I'm sure once you get to a certain point you can just 1v2 them in true Mordekaiser fashion. | ||

And then I'm sure once you get to a certain point you can just 1v2 them in true Mordekaiser fashion. I go for a fastish guise+sorcs and then, unless I need it earlier obviously, an anti-item vs my lane opponent (resist item first). I've seen a lot Mordekaisers go for fast hextech but I don't think spellvamp is good on him, at least early, since everything is AoE and thus get reduced vamp - I'd rather just become unkillable through mitigation. | ||
