DFG core now? Also I don't see upgrading to WotA worth it until late into the game, unless you are running double AP

That's a 20% buff, pretty big imo.

Why would DFG be core? Upgrading to WotA asap is still good. An 8% increase in spellvamp is nothing to laugh at; it increases the spellvamp by 66%.

Altho tbh, I've been thinking that it might be better to upgrade your Revolver into Gunblade since you get more sustain out of Gunblade and it gives you better stats. The biggest drawback is that Gunblade takes much longer to build. I don't really play Morde tho so...

Gunblade makes your Q hit like a truck. Also, since Lichbane can be quite interesting on him bcause of this, it makes the aa even more potent.
Gunblade, Rylai, DFG, Lichbane, Zhonya, Rabaddon, Void staff, Abyssal scepter, FoN all good on him I believe. FoN gimmicky tho.

How does everyone play the no1 nowadays?

I've picked him up as my main AP mid, currently 10-3 with him in ranked and enjoying it. I run mpen reds, flat ap yellows, mr/level blues and spellvamp quints. 21/1/8 (One point in MR then 4 in death time, one in flash mastery and 4 in MS mastery). I've found that aside from a good Cass/Swain he doesn't really have any bad matchups, and does really well vs Vlad, Kennen and Kassadin in particular. I usually build boots 3 > revolver > sorc boots > dfg > wota > abyssal > DC > zhonyas.

For any other morde players on here I'm looking for feedback on my build/masteries/runes .

I'm not sure how Morde should lose to Swain. DoTs give him plenty of him to replenish his shield to mitigate the damage even when caught naked, his E has 700 range, more than anything Swain has, and unless you duke it out top the lack of escape + early squishiness from Swain will prevent him from going to your side to make you choose between creeps and him for your harass.

A lot of times you can ward only one side and just play to that side - usually the side with your wraiths. You can then run down the river or towards your tower, depending on which way the enemy is ganking.

That's true, but not until your first back, and Morde is most easily abused during his first few levels, so...

I play morde mid, open 13pot (since real items aren't very good on him), first buy revolver/boots>wota(or lucky pick->dfg)>mercs/sorcs>rylais>situational defensive item (randies or fon or abyssal or ga, seems to vary)>hat/zonyas

21/9/0 since health regen is pretty good on morde and so is more mr/armor

Spell pen reds, armor yellows, mr blues, vamp/ap quints

Also, buy wards, since getting ganked early is morde's biggest threat

I really think that boots + 3 or maybe green pendant + 1 or even mr cloak +2 would better. If morde's biggest problem is getting ganked early then why wouldn't you start boots?

Edit: I also think that you should get giants belt or negatron instead of completing wota quickly. After this I think you should either complete gunblade or rylais so you can just focus on gibbing one squishy person in a team fight.

morde almost definitely needs boots to start the game, 13 potion is ridiculously irresponsible and asking to get fucking rocked by a maokai/nautilus etc

he's always been one of my favorite heros

for runes i definitely recommend armor + MR flats instead of this flat and scaling AP shit, seriously going into any lane in this game with 0 bonus armor puts you at a big disadvantage. not only do your spells cost health and you're a slow ass melee, your opoonent's AA harass and creeps are doing WAY more damage to you than they're supposed to..

mpen reds
flat resist yellows + blues
MS/AP quints (i like AP but MS is very good as well)


the one thing i want to experiment with is running a hp/5 setup with quints and the defense matery just to see how much he can sustain. i've never used regen quints before so i don't actually know how effective they are, just a thought i've always had.

Probably popularized by Dyrus.

I think it might be OK, but that's an awful lot of money you are spending on pots when you can be working toward your revolver.

I am gold elo, if it means anything

Are you going to open amp tome first? It's really bad :s

The other items (boots/regrowth) don't really help you farm much, so 13potkaiser is best kaiser (midlane, not top)

Basically put, health pots are morde's mana pots

The only real alternatives to opening 13pot are Bootspots, Clothpots, and NMMpots. Bootspots morde feels extremely squishy and you run out of pots very fast. Clothpots is reasonable against someone who does only physical but the cloth armor doesn't build into anything for a long time; NMMpots is only 2 pots and morde chugs pots like the person who lived across from me last semester.
Also, while 13pots might be overkill, it's extremely modular. (Oh. I bet I only need 10 pots this time, I'll start with a ward!) Morde's abysmally weak at level 1, and it's his early levels that need help the most.

Actually, the amount of regeneration provided by 13 pots is the same as having a regrowth pendant for 650 seconds (assuming you are always regenerating).

That's 11 minutes in. By 11 minutes in, Morde has generally either fallen significantly behind in lane such that he can't get near creeps, or he's able to totally ignore the opposing laner and farm. The greater health regen of pots makes a lot of Situation 1 become Situation 2.

It's a viable opening in coopvsai, not really a viable opening against competent players. No reason not to open boots.
Any mid/jungler that can't gank a bootless morde should consider playing a different game.
