Tips Against Mordekaiser in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
I Am Goliath says “Levels 1-3 you can win this matchup really hard because his cooldowns are high and his passive doesn't do much damage yet, after that levels 4-9 are pretty challenging unless you got a lead early, I usually start Doran's Blade in this matchup for the early game power and sustain, and if they have atleast one other AP on the team I will rush a maw or hexdrinker into death's dance, if they're heavy AP just rush maw first item and you will win the matchup once you have it, also executioners calling can be a great buy in this lane because he heals with his W but also a bunch from his conqureor and domination synergy with his passive. Levels 9+ I feel this matchup gets a lot easier as long as you're not behind. Another thing I dislike heavily about this matchup is he can pull you away in teamfights and stop you from getting big ultimates off.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Mordekaiser can be quite a pain to deal with in most cases. However, he isn't that bad to fight in lane against. The objective is to avoid not getting hit! I know that this is probably wishful thinking, but you have to understand... This champion is a "catch" lock down & run down type of champion. Keep on your toes and dodge all his skill shots and you should be fine as he won't be able to activate his passive. If Mordekaiser uses (R) on you, you have 3 options. Buy QSS, fight him (most likely lose) or take advantage of your passive in a nearby bush, while waiting for his ultimate to end. Teemo loses once he is caught.
”
PH45 says “Mordekaiser is a pretty simple matchup for Jax. Don't get chunked by his Q too much. You can deny him his passive proc with your E since he needs to damage you 3 times in order to proc it. Keep in mind his shield stored on his second bar when engaging. Main thing is to dodge the E so you can stay on top of him for the trade. You probably want to try and chunk him and back off bit by bit early since his passive is really strong. Also remember to ult only after he has ulted, otherwise he steals your extra resistances.”
Feedaboi says “can easily dodge his e with ur e. Make sure to go for short trades since his passive does a lot of dps if you take extended fights. Pre 6 you can look to play aggressive in lane but after 6 you have to be careful because of his ult since it takes away some of your defensive and offensive stats which will make it hard for you to remount against him.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - EVEN LANE IN YOUR FAVOR. DON’T EAT FREE QS. DON’T STAND IN HIS PASSIVE. KITE KITE KITE. IF HE ULTS YOU, KITE AROUND HIM. HE NEEDS ULT TO BE ABLE TO 1V1 YOU. CONQUEROR RECOMMENDED. SILVERMERE DAWN IS GREAT
Mordekaiser is a somewhat tricky champion to deal with. His kill pressure goes up a lot if he takes Ignite but most Mordekaisers take teleport instead. The trick to beating Morde is to not stand in his passive and eat his Qs for free. You have to be quick on your feet as in an all out fight where everyone lands everything, Mordekaiser wins. But as Darius, you are a bit more mobile than him due to being able to move while using Q. If he pulls you in to trade, just run him down and kill him. The general idea should be to do your combo, walk in front of him(towards his tower) while kiting him, and then going back in once your Q is back up. Outmaneuvering him should be a breeze with ghost. Try to make sure you have a lane lead before level 6. If he uses his ultimate on you, try not to fight him. You will not beat him inside of his ultimate. Even if you are ahead by a kill. The idea should be to apply your stacks and kite away from him. Once his ultimate is over, you are free to go back in and just put him down. He is somewhat like Nasus in that he needs his ultimate to be able to beat you. Mordekaiser DOES outscale you eventually though. But the point he does should be the point where he is going to be looking to ult someone in your backline. And worst case scenario, if you are the only carry, a QSS can go a long way. The idea to using it is to get 5 stacks in his ult and then QSS so that you can murder his entire team. Upgrade it into Silvermere Dawn later on. I recommend Conqueror as you really need to punch through his healing and his shield.”
Stinkee says “Mordekaiser is very strong against Sion. Mordekaiser will essentially win every trade and rush Liandry's to shred your giant health pool. Try to freeze and ask for jungle ganks, watch out for when he hits 6 though as he will turn the 1v2 into a 1v1. Rush Abyssal Mask, if you survive the laning phase you will be able to make a large impact on the map. You can dodge his ult if you press R at the exact time he uses it. You CANNOT ult outside of his ult though.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Relatively easy laning phase if you know how to dodge his Q and E, but will keep you on your toes the entire time. His passive + Conqueror is ridiculous and will destroy you if you let him proc it. During his ultimate if you can't goo fling him you're most likely dead.”
lol Wero says “It really depends if you're able to dodge his abilities (of course not his ult). if you can dodge his abilties, the lane should be on your favor.”
iZeal says “Aatrox has to play without mistake to take on Mordekaiser or else he will get autoattacked to death. Mordekaiser's Q matches yours in range but locks him in place for an easy combo. Dodge his E so he can't extend the trades. Try to use your ultimate after he uses his so he doesn't steal additional stats. You won't win extended fights and Mordekaiser can rush armor to nullify your impact but your relentless pressure can still poke him down over time.”
Quinncidence says “A tricky matchup after 6
If u go Conq and get level 2 with cats ready you can look for an all in.
If Yorick has cats/maiden out and Morde R's him, the cats/maiden will not follow Yorick to the death realm. And if Yorick spawns R while being in the death realm, as soon as the realm breaks the cats/maiden disappears.”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Mordekaiser is annoying for Thresh to deal with. He is tankier, does more damage, and is hard to itemize against. He is also difficult to gank post 6 and can force you to trade with him via his E (which also gives him magic pen) or his point and click 650 range ult. Poke him early levels in between his Q and E and ask for a gank. Ult when he ults, it will keep him away from you allowing you to survive. He's like the AP version of Darius, but with lower kill potential.”
Justkb says “You win this matchup early, but you have to be able to get a sustainable lead otherwise he can come into the game post level 6. Make sure you get your passive as soon as you can and try to avoid his E, as this can ruin your Q hitbox. If you can cast your Ult early to avoid the shield and kite back the trade until your Q is off cooldown.”
Raen says “Try to make short trades. Good movement is kinda important vs Mordekaiser to dodge his E/Q and use your E for his autos so he won't proc his passive. If he proc his passive try to not fight with him at all unless you see that you will win trade anyway. QSS releases you from his R. Botrk and if he stack armor then get BC second.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Death's Grasp(E) to avoid his full combo. Dodge Obliterate(Q) and you avoid majority of his damage and you can out-trade him. Use your Fling and Mega Adhesive if you're in his Realm of Death(R) to mitigate his debuff. (Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter and Demonic Embrace) (Outscaling Edge: Mordekaiser) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Mordekaiser)”
Anoying bro5 says “Fairly easy if you avoid most Qs in lane. You want to parry is E if he uses it recklessly. He might use E to bait your parry so dont use it if you dont need to. You can use your Q to dodge his Q, remembering his CD is helpful. You can also parry his ult if you get a gank. Beware that your ult does not go into his ult, so if you ult early, save your parry to cancel his ult. ”
SethPRG says “You can all-in him any time level 1-5 and win. If you fight level 1, just make sure to cancel his AA animation with your E to delay his passive proc. You can either walk away before it activates, or go all in. You'll want to watch for his E because he can use it to displace you during your W animation, causing it to miss. Make sure to stun him with your E before you use your high grit W to avoid that, as well as preventing him from using his W to soak up your W true damage. If you can, when he uses his W, try to walk away, brute-forcing through it isn't that ideal, but it can work. Past level 6, you can make a trade with him, and try to predict his R and time yours just before you think he will use it, then you will cancel his death realm. Most Mordes will take a trade down to around 50% HP then ult you, or save it when you are trying to getaway. Sometimes they may also start a trade with R but that is only if they are super fed and can kill you during it. Going QSS early is kind of useless in 1v1s because he steals your stats anyway, and it just delays your item power spikes. However, it is somewhat viable later in the game if he wants to use his R to separate you from your or his team. Building Goredrinker in this situation isn't ideal, Mordekaiser will be able to isolate you in team fights, making it useless in a lot of situations, and his general burst damage you'll need to match with a powerful burst Mythic item. You will absolutely want to build Trinity in this Matchup unless you get behind, which in that case Stridebreaker is probably your best buy to slow him down from catching you or your team. You'll want to play aggressively in lane early and build a lead in any way possible, whether it be through CS, kills, or taking JG pressure. You want to match him in team fights, and if he ever ults anyone but you, take advantage of that and destroy his team, your team fight utility with him absent you must use to your advantage. Even if you or your heavy damage teammates get ulted and die, it's still not the end of the world, Mordekaiser will probably be on low HP when he gets out unless he is giga fed. Splitting is decent in this matchup because Mordekaiser will be forced to match you and in that case, he won't be able to isolate one of your teammates with his ult for a potential kill. Now vice versa, if he splits, you will want to match him, this scenario is usually good as well for the same reason, which is avoiding the threat of his ult. Executioner's is a good early buy here to reduce his W and Conqueror healing. Abyssal Mask is decent to help burst him down because of its passive, Force of Nature is great also, better in fact if there is more AP damage on his team. If he builds Hourglass and Bramble Vest, you will probably want to build Black Cleaver as a 2nd item if you are ahead, otherwise build your core Magic Resistance item first. Mercury Treads is ideal in this matchup, but not 100% necessary if his team comp doesn't have a ton of CC. ”
Lynter says “Runa Recomendada: Conquistador.
Mordekaiser não tem um controle de wave melhor que da Katarina, mas tem um kit de dano capaz de matá-la, por isso é necessário cautela, evite levar o Q (Obliterate) do Mordekaiser sem minions por perto, pois assim diminui o percentual de dano que seria aumentado caso recebesse o Q sozinho. Use Q todas as vezes que puder para tirar vida dele, caso ele esteja com a runa Osso Revestido, jogue um Q e aguarde o timing da runa para agressivar sem perder dano do combo, com os combos EW+AA+QE+AA caso ele tenha gastado o Q ou QEW+AA correndo para a adaga atrás dele, enquanto desvia do Q dele com o W da Katarina que dá velocidade de movimento. Caso Mordekaiser ative o seu escudo W (Indestructible), saia de perto até o escudo acabar para poder atacá-lo. Se possível, compre uma Bandana para negar a ultimate dele, assim ele não drena seus atributos, pois ele ficará muito forte no Reino dos Mortos e a chance de você ser morto é alta, principalmente se você usou alguma adaga antes de entrar no Reino, pois elas serão perdidas e você ficará sem elas na luta. Abuse do roaming para que ele não possa abusar de você na lane, caso não consiga solar ele. Consiga kills nas outras lanes para poder ficar forte contra ele. Em teamfights, só foque-o se for para matá-lo, ou se você tiver bandana, para ele desperdiçar a ultimate em você, caso contrário, mantenha seu foco nos outros inimigos e deixe seu time cuidar do Mordekaiser. Na maioria das vezes o Mordekaiser ultará outra pessoa, ciente da sua bandana, por isso, recomende seu time a comprar o item para interromper sua ultimate e caso ele consiga ultar alguém do seu time, aguarde o retorno dos dois para poder finalizá-lo e o puna por ter ultado um de seus aliados. O potencial de perigo de Mordekaiser é de igual para igual visto que a Katarina levará muito dano e corre o risco de perder as adagas na troca dos Reinos com a ultimate do Mordekaiser.”
LunaticDancer says “Don't get hit and you're more than fine. You outtrade him. Try to bully him as much as you can pre-6, post-6 hold onto your W so you can separate him from you within his ultimate when he inevitably uses it on you. Don't get low near him or he'll murder you. Other than that, he's easy to stomp.
IMPORTANT: Your summons don't travel into or from his shadow realm, so don't ever cast your R in his R realm or you'll waste your most important cooldown.”
Dannala says “LANE: High amounts of AoE kills your spiderlings easily and his passive ap damage on hit and the aoe hurts you a lot when in Spider Form.
Rappeling out of his passive AoE helps negate a lot of his damage as the rest are dodgeable skill shots. If you have to Rappel before his passive it's safest to back off until it's back up. You can also use Rappel to wait out a lot of the Ultimates duration if you need help.”
LoLReal says “Mordekaiser surprisingly does very well into Darius. This is one of the few match ups where you will want to take Ignite instead of Ghost.
You have to snowball in this lane. Punish him early. We win before 6, and if we've established a lead, should win after 6 too. When he ults ignite and fight him.
Very hard lane if we go even or get behind, he'll simply kill us on cooldown with R.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Death's Grasp(E) to avoid his full combo. Dodge Obliterate(Q) and you avoid majority of his damage and you can out-trade him. Use your Primal Howl and Infinite Duress if you're in his Realm of Death(R) to mitigate his debuff. (Recommended Items: WIt's End, Spirit Visage, Blade of the Ruined King) (Outscaling Edge: Warwick) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Death's Grasp(E) to avoid his full combo. Dodge Obliterate(Q) and you avoid majority of his damage and you can out-trade him. Use your Seismic Shard if you're in his Realm of Death(R) to mitigate his debuff. (Recommended Items: Abyssal Mask) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
wff010 says “Cringe matchup. You win levels 1-5, but he eventually just outscales you from levels alone. Prevent this by taking advantage of your early power and try to freeze and deny as much cs and xp as possible, killing if he overextends. Ask for pre-six ganks while he has no ult. If the gank gets his flash, ask for another one because he has no flash (duh). You can counter his ult with yours. ”
A_Drunk_Carry says “I rush QSS against this champ tbh. If you don't then your Maiden + ghouls don't come with you when you are taken to the shadow realm. An early executioners is very good as well, as his sustain is annoying. Immobile champ that's easy to beat w/items though.
BEWARE THAT IF YOU ULT WHILE IN MORDE'S ULT YOUR MAIDEN WILL DISSAPEAR WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE RIFT. NEVER DO THIS.”
Phrxshn says “Dodge his Death's Grasp(E) to avoid his full combo. Dodge Obliterate(Q) and you avoid majority of his damage and you can out-trade him. Use your Infected Cleaver if you're in his Realm of Death(R) to mitigate his debuff. (Recommended Items: Spirit Visage, Force of Nature) (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even)”
Warwick de Crocs says “Conquistador - Lâmina de Doran. 1v1 sempre é seu, principal uso do seu E nessa matchup é a redução de dano, não reative prematuramente, cuidado se você estiver empatado/atrás e ele tiver corta cura. Fechou rei, ganha o 1v1 até dentro da ult dele. Fun fact: se você der o Q ou R durante a animação do R do Morder (apontada da maça), você cancela ele.”
Hyzerik says “You need to get close to do damage and when you are close you are in his passive. It isn't that fun but if you try and avoid his passive as much as possible then you will win.”
RedNBlue says “Its a bit hard to kite him sometimes due to his E pull. Of course he has to hit the skill shot so if he doesn't then it should be easy.”
EU_Toxicity says “Stay high health, Q if he Qs. If he tries to Q poke you early, trade back and try to get some stacks. You should win all-ins as long as you don't get poked down beforehand, however bear in mind that if the game drags out long enough he will outscale you.”
Malol67 says “Hard matchup after he gets seekers and bramble,go for pokes with q and little trades,run away when he gets passive.
Avoid him after he gets these items and look for roams.
If you have phase rush you can poke till he's very low and hasn't got W up.”
Lectiica says “Mordekaiser is a tough counter, especially after he gets his Ultimate. He can trap you, and deal constant damage to you with his damaging aura. Be wary, and try not to get caught in a 1v1 with him.”
TioKirb says “This is a hard matchup, I mean, it can be easy if certain conditions are met, but Mordekaiser is a threat even when he's behind. If you can punish his mistakes, you will be able to break him.”
KillMeMyFriend says “Treat him as a Daris with Ghost, but be even more careful early. You outscale him so don't worry a lot after you have 3 or 4 items”
xPetu says “Recommended: Standard Runes & Ignite
Tips: Don't All-in unless you know you can kill him. Passive shield his Qs. Never get hit by isolated Q. Dodge his E by E'ing in (if possible).”
Mr. Popper says “He is a melee champ that relies on landing his E (Deaths Grasp) to do most of his damage. Kit him hard and try to abuse him. Healing cuts dont work well because he can wait out the healing cut as a shield until he is safe. I recommend taking Fleet Footwork into him and if you are having trouble you can build QSS to get out of his R (Death Realm)”
Drake6401 says “Buy a Quick Silver Sash early.
Mordekiaser is a very deadly foe but is not beyond a skilled Renekton. You have to play a little bit passive early because of his poke but his hard engage isn't as bad as Darius is. Get E second or even first because you absolutely need it more than W right now.
Best case senario is you evade his E pull entirely and are able to trade with him. Second case if you run up for a trade and use your E to dodge his. Your W can break his shield but he would much rather hold onto it to prevent you from using W.
Instead, go ahead with your Escape Combo but without the dash engage. Mord wants you close so there's no point in dashing at him for the first fight. Dash away after the stun and make sure you hit something to use the second in order to dodge his E. Failing will lose you the trade for sure.
If he's low enough to kill the second time. Engage before 50 Fury and use your Q and E to get enough for an empowered W. This should damage him enough where your W will kill him or he pops his shield before then and you break it anyway. Even if you cleanse his ultimate, he still stole your stats so disengage the fight. Cleansing it will only get you out of the Death Realm. Don't expect a huge lead here because Mord's ultimate will keep him at the very least equal to you for a very long time. In team fights, look to save your W for after his he shields and instantly break it and he should be done for.”
Rime101 says “Morde isn't that hard of a matchup he's just very overtuned right now
When his shield is on cooldown look to all in (Dont all in if he has lots of MR)
If he is consistently ulting you in fights rush a qss. You don't need it if he's been focusing other people with his R in teamfights.
When he uses E (claw grab) run away from him to dodge not to the side, its hitbox is huge but its very short distance
”
RTO says “Poke him with short trades, or take continuous damage. Watch for his pull, disengage with E. He won't ult you in teamfights, take advantage of him being out of the fight.”
Bombabo says “This matchup is ENTIRELY dependent on which of you gets an early lead. You are both good in close-quarters fights, and each have the potential to out-raid-boss the other. Until you hit your first powerspike, He will have the advantage if he ults you.”
MythicMike says “Dodge his E and you can stay safe at the perfect distance to poke him down with Q. Don't go in when has E available because if you get dragged in, you're gone.”
iZeal says “You win early levels, but once he has gotten seeker's armguard, his ultimate and a couple levels in his Q it becomes very hard to deal with him. You want to get your passive up as fast as possible while denying him his passive so being proactive is very helpful. You should not really get hit by his E. Be aware that Morde can ult you after you proc your passive and he is going to steal 10% of your total AD reducing your damage output. If he doesn't use his shield early enough you can E into ult to burst him down. Adaptive Helmet is very effective against Morde.
DBlade, Phage, later on Adaptive Helm.”
NeroZYN says “I have recently learned how to play against Mordekasier, however struggled alot before because of his immense damage with his Passive and durability with his ultimate. It is important to play around his cooldowns and to fight early in the laning phase. This is because you can do alot more damage early than you can do in the middle of the laning phase where mordekaiser can start doing alot more damage to you.”
DasGrauen_ says “This champion got rlly weak in season11. Really easy to kill him tbh. Just run away when he has his shield and try to get time when you are in his ultimate.”
3251 says “- Q Passive Auto trade him early
- Dodge his spells with either side steps or E/R
- All in at 6 when he is around 70% HP
- He beats you when his passive is proceed and his W shield can be massive so don't get baited
- This matchup is similar to Illaoi and a minigame of sidestepping. You win every trade if you manage to dodge well
- Don't let him proc his passive. Akali has a good kit to dodge spells even when it comes to close combat, use your Passive MS / E / R dashes to dodge his spells”
sauronkaiser says “I really hate how they turned my previous main into this abomination. He wastes no resources, is extremely strong in duels, has free sustain and his ult is just incredibly toxic and can isolate you from your pets and your wall.
Once you both get 6, just
try to evade trades until lvl 10 and at that level get wall to 3. Then NEVER use wall before his ult so you can use it after he ults and poke him inside the death realm. Also DO NOT summon maiden in the death realm or she will be lost after mordes ult is gone.
or just buy quicksilver, whatever, now you can do it with the new items.”
SaltCat says “Dodge ball match up, level 1 you win with stacked passive, level 2 also, level 3 you will lose the trade if you are equal hp, try to use your Q to dodge his abilities, use your E when he Q for free land”
Veng Shotz says “Just rush mercs, hex, cowl, or completely negate his entire champion with silver sash.
He may beat you in lane but come mid/late game with riftmaker he will certainly out 1v1 you if you dont have any mr or silver sash to cleanse his ulti.
If you go d shield + second wind + cowl you can regen from his passive damage so you can fight while in it. if you go hex then you win when the shield procs. Mercs afterwards for MS+more MR.
after lane phase mordes will generally win teamfights by taking out either the jungler during objectives or whoever is the biggest issue on your team, (usually yourself) as his team will 4v4 yours. If you get silver sash his game plan severally gets punished and he's forced to either ult someone else and then lose the teamfight because he's not pulling you, or abolish the teamfight all together and die when he comes out to a 1v5.
be aware of his build path and react accordingly. if he's rushing armor, rush mr. dont be greedy and build ad. ”
IvernLover74856 says “Once you get 4 marks, you can auto from outside Q range.
Use your Q to dodge his Q or E.
His ult lasts 7 seconds and yours lasts 4. Your life realm disappears when you transition into or out of his ult. Try to fight him in W.”
NoxianBlood says “Morde Is Kinda strong, but if you stack allot of Magic resist he's not going to burst you down that easily if he ults you, you can Charge a full Q Stun since he wants to attack in the death realm before it ends. Keiser only CC is his grab, so try to Q once he just used it. don't stay too long in battle cause he might have a Liandry and his passive will melt you down pretty fast, few knock-ups and jungle assistance will kill him for sure.”
Vandenelis says “his q and e have long cooldowns early, so if you dodge those spells you can win trades early. in the midgame, he does a lot of damage to you, so you should just look for farm. In the late game you win 1v1 against him.”
RocketD1no says “Mord is a enjoyable matchup. He will try to pull you in and then Q. Try to poke and use your W passive as much as you can to speed in and out to dodge his abilities.”
byThiagus says “skill match, espada de doran segunda pagina de runas, Pre 6 muy favorable para darius, siempre extender peleas. Si no tenes ventaja y ambos son nivel 6 te gana1v1 Salvo que le dodgees algunas habilidades. En este match es viable el ignite Porque necesitas matarlo pre 6.”
UnMaskedDeity says “Moredekaiser is pretty good early game so just don't agro him to much. When he tries to hit you just Q out of it. If he Ults you and there is a Wall in the Arena play around it.”
hahadead7777 says “As with most other champions in this list your mobility is a must against Mordekaiser. Stay with minions when possible when fighting as his Q does more dmg when you're alone”
Stijnzxz says “Very hard to deal with due to hes great dmg output in 1v1 so if he stacks hes passive u are taking a shit ton of dmg and hes Q does heck of a dmg in 1v1 so keep the cd in mind and hes R cuz if he R u there is no way out!”
Cayteer says “Try to dodge his E , don't go for a trade since he hard wins against you. If he ults you , try to run him around his ult , then pull combo til his ult ends. ”
Lupus_ToplaneMain says “Just buy merc treads. You can parry his ult, i think. If u ult him, try to stay in the heal for the whole fight.
Dodge his q´s, its really easy with fiora q.”
Noodles912 says “Play away from your minions, so morde needs to chose damaging you or minions. W can be used to cancel his ult, but he will use it again on you after the pool. Safely farm and outscale. Watch out for his passive, because it can do a good chunk of your health.”
Randomwest says “First 3 levels you lose by default, he has a lot of aoe spells and in his R its not fightable if you are even/behind
try to trade slowly when his Q is on cd”
qveenevelynn says “U can dodge his comps easily, u can also use his E to help you to get closer and make him regret that. Dodge his passive, dont forget he can shield, and be carefull to his ult.”
Dmcd7290 says “Make sure when going against a morde, that you have your ult ready before you engage, as when he ults you, all tentacles will disappear.”
Leukasdf says “You beat him early game but he can be a bit of a problem if you don't keep harassing him with your q. Try and save your ult when he ults you and kite kite kite. Q e backwards and force him to use his barrier. Stay out of his passive ring and dodging his abilities should be fairly easy.”
DarkNavarre says “Early game you should be able to bully him fairly well provided you can dodge his abilities. you'll need to be a bit more careful at six as his ult is a bigger power spike than yours is, but you scale faster than he does, so your mid game is stronger in general. Try for an early lead as he will eventually outscale you as the game goes on.”
Raideru says “Very simple matchup, whenever he misses his q u jump on him but do not pop counter strike until he starts to auto then while you're running him down try to dodge the e if you do you outtrade him very very hard.”
Alan234 says “Go PTA (Take cut down) and attack speed.
It sounds simple, but as long as you dodge his e and q youre gucci. However if you get hit by it you die. Have fun dodging! Get qss for his ult and just splitpush all game”
ForgottenProject says “He's not that strong but if he gets ahead it's near impossible to Punish him for Over-extending in Lane.
[1]Don't ask for Ganks He will Ult the weak person, get a kill and walk back to his turret. [2]You will need Executioner's but don't Rush it after Tiamat. [3]Easy to Dodge his Q by using your own Q. [4]Don't trade into his W shield and don't be fooled by his Low HP, His W Shield adds on to it.”
AWierdShoe says “His Q windows are kind of telegraphed, so make sure not to get hit by it too many times. Either shield it or juke it. Try to force extended trades with 6 empowered Q's. And if he misses /his E-grab at any point you can force trades even harder. He’s also one of the easiest champs to gank, so if you call your jungler up there he’s got no way out. The match-up can get tricky if he ends up ahead of you, but until then you should be winning trades if played correctly.”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Try to avoid getting hit by his second and especially third Q, when he has W on himself dont go near him or think of fighting him. Bait him E by walking near its range and then walking back. Try to kite in the minion waves, freeze and play around cooldowns. Get nado EQ on his wave when he is close there AA and E back. Clean stuff etc. If executed right you should be able to kill him.Also executioner helps against him and if you want get one hexdrinker early game so you can have better chances of killing him early”
Scoothare says “This guy is really annoying. His ult is pretty much useless though since your E is pretty good against it. Just max your E ability to have a shield often and you should be good.”
Kartagoo says “Pretty much the same as Darius except not that Lethal like him. Also try to get him low before either gets his Shield (W) or if he has full Shield stacks. If he's 6, don't Push too hard or you perhaps ending up getting ulted and can't reached your Turret and perhaps die.”
NickCola Tesla says “This is a skill matchup slightly in Mordekaiser's favor! Feel free to go whatever runes you feel comfortable using. But as someone who has a decent amount of Mastery on the Iron Lord himself, I can assure you that Mordekaiser really isn't as much of a threat as you would expect. A few patches ago, he was performing rather well in the meta. However, ever since the Blade of the Ruined King changes, he's lost his throne as an S tier pick, and suffers from a lack of early game power.
Yes, he has passive magic penetration, but you need to understand that it's only 5% when he first levels the ability. The penetration caps out at 15% at max rank, and he levels the ability up second. Compare this to the massive 35% granted to Darius, and it's quite measly. You can easily make favorable trades before this happens!
Mordekaiser's abilities are super predictable, and the damage from a non-isolated Q is quite lackluster. As long as you stand behind your minions, and don't get hit by every last one of his abilities, there should be no way for him to kill you! If you manage to avoid his E, remember, it's on a 24 second CD when first leveled. Keep a mental timer in your head, so you can perform a strong trade!
Even after he hits level 6, remember, your ultimate makes you unstoppable. Save it for when you see him perform the animation for his Death Realm, so you can use your ultimate to prevent him from activating his!
If the Mordekaiser understands the matchup properly, he will end up rushing Liandry's Torment. You can negate this damage by rushing a Turbo Chemtank.
If you're having a rough time, which you honestly shouldn't, stacking resistances will go a long way, since it counters all his percent max-health damage. ”
GARDENZE says “Mordekaiser aprisiona a Donzela dentro ou fora de sua ult, é sempre preocupante trocar com ele de Yorick, evite. Buildar Bandana e Elmo Adaptivo.”
StrikeX114 says “His primary threat is his E-Q combo pre-6 due to the high amount of damage it deals. With this build, you can generally survive three consecutive combos. Maintaining a distance from him will ensure that he cannot successfully do so. In addition, his ultimate is highly potent. When in the Death Realm, be sure to kite away from him as much as possible, using your ultimate and Commencing Stopwatch as necessary to survive. Executed well, you can survive upwards of three ultimates in laning phase by stalling him until his ultimate ends.”
Alekra says “Really hard lane to beat. His passive and W makes it almost impossible for you to win long trades. You can win trades if you engage with his W-bar low or E down and keep it short. He is really easy to gank so you might want to get help from your jng.”
Saarlichenbog says “Mordekaiser is borderline a minor threat alongside Renekton and Teemo. Although not entirely a free matchup, a decent Kalista will be able to dodge every single skill shot seeing how slow all his abilities are with a 0.5-1 delay. By the time he hits 6, accumulating enough gold to buy his one counter item, QSS, completely nullifies any chance he has of winning the matchup to which all you need to do is farm and outscale him.”
Captain Dantems says “Evite o Q e E dele de resto fica fácil, quando ele ultar em você use o W para sair e espere os atributos que ele te ''rouba'' e o mate. Grasp com chamuscar. Poção corrupta, cristal de safira com 3 poções de vida ou com refil.”
SKRELAX says “I've met a lot of Mordekaisers, that are thinking, that they can kill Sett on level 1-3. Prove them wrong. Hard to kill, be careful. (Only for top.)”
Bradybattlemask says “His ultimate will take you away from all minions and maiden, and then remove them from the game if summoned in the shadow realm. Past that, not very mobile and doesn't have an escape from W besides flash.”
ItsPaulygon says “This will be a tricky match up for you, he has no mana, has sustain, and a shield. You can still outscale him for sure, but you lose early game. If you outscale him, you win. Just focus on getting your core items.”
llametekudasai says “con el item puedes dodgear la q y la e, ademas de que te puede salvar de una situación desfavorable si te gankean, depende solo de ti ganar linea, puedes pedir ayuda a tu jg si no puedes dodgear o no tengas confianza en ganar solo.”
Klappy says “- Tradeos de Q+Pasiva en early
- Esquiva sus Skills con tu E o simplemente caminando, no es tan dificil
- Ganas all in al 6 si está a 70% de HP”
jopexd says “Not really a bad lane, but YOU need to buy qss or you can FF the game, If morde ults you first, then you kite him and ult him after death realm. But without qss you can never ult first. NEVER.”
ModelitoTime says “This is my favorite matchup for Urgot because of the challenge it gives. similar to Renekton in the sense that you win lvl 1 but after that Mordekaiser starts to take over lane. Take a dorans blade with you, fight him from anywhere between lvl 1-5 and you should be good. Make sure to only fight him if you have all of your passives up on your legs. If you hit lvl 6 before him force a fight because Mordekaiser starts to win this matchup lvl 6-9 make sure to play safe in these levels. If you are really ahead of him then you can play aggressive, but if you are even with him or just a little bit ahead of him play safe lvl 6-9. But in the end result you outscale Mordekaiser tremendously ”
wolfclaw3812 says “Pre-6, Mordekaiser is a weakling. Once he hits level 6 and ults you, your mushrooms all vanish and he can run you down. Poke him down from a safe range. On-hit.”
Krankheit333 says “Best match up for gangplank such as against darius and garen is because you can easaly poke and get out of his ult with W so be shure to have it ready”
LippyDarren says “Against a good mordekaiser, it is pretty tough because morde is like darius, a huge lane bully against melee champions. He is so strong when he has 3 stacks, so as Garen, go spin into Q. If he pulls you back in, you may have to flash away, or just walk it off and try to regen as much as possible and farm safely under turret. If he wastes his pull, go spin into Q against onto morde, this time you will be able to even out the trade. Remember to W his Q. Try not to fight him if his R is up, and you are far away from your own turret, or else you will face death as punishment. Morde can snowball pretty hard off of 1 kill, and you may not be able to kill him rest of the game anymore in a 1v1 due to the very fact that his kit is made this way, oppressive”
Nicklstherealone says “Pretty Even you can kill him pre 6 and then in Lategame if you Sidestep. But All in All its just your Skill of Sidestepping with an immobile Champion. ”
GLP1 says “Skillmatch in favor of Kled before level 6, try to get a minimum of 2 kills so you can make sure you'll keep beating him for the rest of the game, a Malmortious or a mercurial Fajin could help.”
Sulorduni says “One of the best anti-tank. If you have to face him with Volibear, you better try the alternative build with Trinity Force and PTA, focusing on damage/attack speed items instead of the life/armor ones.”
LeSocair says “Keep your distance and dodge his Q and E, it's not hard.
Don't fight early, just poke, he has too much sustained damage.
Don't get fooled by your W's ability to yeet his R, he can win without it.”
Womsky says “Scaling set up, doran's shield/long sword, its all up with how the morde plays this matchup out, if he agro and walks up for minions early on u can punish him by spinning into him with fury level 1, try to fake going for minions to bait Q from him, if you feel uncomfortable and u think his jungler is top side just try to make him Q u with the wave so u get pushed in, over all not an easy matchup if the morde rushies tabies plus seekers armguard cause its a 2200 gold, god mode power spike, if he does that, just chill and scale, later on you can beat his ass with ghost/ignite plus good items, running ignite gives you a very high kill pressure early on, you outscale by the mid/late game.”
Pyroen says “Put a couple points in W early, gain movement speed and dodge his skillshots and once you get level 6, constantly poke him with your auto's and be quick to retreat when he inevitable tries to use his Q or E on you.”
I am so chill says “Skill matchup.Similiar to darius matchup.Avoid his passive.Poke him alot.Avoid all ins.You beat him early but stay away from him late game.Dont use your R before he uses R unless you are about to kill him.
”
Urgodzilla says “Try to abuse your lvl1 E and lvl2 E+W: this is actually the only moment in the game when you are stronger than him. Smart Mordekaiser will get Tabis, Hourglass and Thornmail against you and in this case you will lose to him.”
Raphi0216 says “This Matchup get's really ugly after lvl 6 if you haven't a huge lead already. Try to stall his R with E and your own R. Don't take long Trades with him. Never try to fight him in his R, it won't work unless your really fed. ”
IJustWannaCuddle says “If you can side step his E and force fights after he burns his shield on his W you can go in and out before procing his passive. Do not burn your ult unless he is out of range to ult you. If you ult he can pull you into spirit realm and nullify your ult completely. ”
Frostyfps says “Fairly doable lane if you beat him before level 6, start q and start stacking passive and looking for fights early on. Be careful of his passive as it is quite strong early on but the ability to dash around on minions and your auto range gives you an edge until 6. If you fight him post level 6 be careful as he can use his ult to dodge your E and R.”
Time1Save says “At 6 LVL you are finished if you don't Dodge all of his Q's. Try to kill him up to 6 LVL and focus on taking the Herald. But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well .”
joelspaho121 says “Skill matchup.d blade start with bone plating resolve tree.mordekaiser is one of the few champions that can match your extended trading.passive w and r are really op and you need to respect them.dont ult mord if he has passive shield as it will deny you ult reset which in teamfights is huge and it can easily help mord turn fights over.with the preseason patch we can say that he sort of got buffed because he now has an excellent item choice that also offers him sustain(riftmaker).grabbing executioners calling is not a bad idea if the lane goes even post 6.try moving around as much as you can during his ult so he has a harder time landing his combo popping ghost can prove effective.fight him after you exit his ult.he snowballs really hard so no room for mistakes.”
localroman says “You should be able to survive for a while but he will kill you over time considering you need to be directly next to him and he will outdamage you over time with his passive.”
Defensivity1 says “My way of playing against Mordekaiser is going Biscuits Footwear secondary with conqueror and then rushing a negatron cloak after get Tri, then get Wit's end.”
laoshin3v3 says “Conqueror or Grasp
Matchup is mostly okay if you only do short trades in earlygame to ensure he doesn't get passive and runs you down. You have to be very carefull when you use ur ult since the heal field does not come with you into morde's R. If you fight him in his R sidestep his E and parry his Q since its his only damage ability.”
Colbasz says “Rush Tier 2 boots so you can dodge his E. Everything depends on you dodging his E. Max Q first so you can poke him easier. After lvl 6, poke him with autos constantly. If he uses his R on you, use your Q and W to get away from him and dodge his pull, and then use your R if you need to to survive his damage. Easy matchup if you can dodge the E.”
ArmandChad69 says “Extremely easy at early laning, becomes more difficult after he gets access to Seeker, Tabi and Bramble. Also scales rather well into Mid game, make sure to not commit fights that aren't guaranteed win.”
AmericanNut says “Build Mercury Treads, easy to kite his Nightfall and Death's Grasp. You should win pretty easily, when in realm devour him so he can't do damage. (His passive does poke through though.)”
McSoupape says “mordekaiser's kit isn't good for illaoi, illaoi is good when there is lot's of enemies but mord ult will force you to 1v1 him, if you used you'r E before he ult you and you don't have qss, it will be very very hard to survive.”
Ramixx says “There is not much outplay to this champion. He pretty much just runs at you and wins for no reason. But if you do manage to snowball a few kills by roaming or getting ganks then you cant beat him before he scales.”
MisterDerpFace says “You are gonna want to rush Quicksilver Sash, and then proceed with your build. if you want you can upgrade Quicksilver shash to Mercurial Scimitar. Also, mercury treads would be nice. If he uses E to grab you, you can E him, proc a passive or 2, and then run or kill him if you can. Also, a good mord will save his W shield so that you cant pull him with your ult, and try to kill you, make sure to wait out the shield if you manage to bait it out, and THEN ult him to pull him in. He COULD be worth banning but theres worse champ than him.”
ChevalierArlo says “O maior problema dele é a ultimate que move apenas você para o reino dele, sem seus ghouls ou a donzela da névoa. Fora isso, jogue evitando ser pego pelas skills e será uma rota ok.”
Penguinoverlord1 says “Hes not the worst matchup ever, but his R can seperate you from your R, or even cancle it if you use maiden during his R. Wait for his R to come out before placing Maiden in order to maximize her usage.”
LoL destroyer says “Fighting against Mordekaiser as Garen is extremely easy, you can silence him and spin on him easily, you are more mobile than him and do more damage early game. Play smart and avoid leaving yourself open to ganks”
Panwiler says “Niby masz ten swój skok
Ale do momentu jak się nie odbijesz od miniona to jest całkiem krótki. Wolny i przewidywalny, przez co łatwo go anulować. (Celarity jest kox, bo speed z W i jeszcze pasywna R to buffuje, bardzo lubię) Ma też spory czas odnowienia i daje attack speed
co wiąże się z tym że jeżeli źle przewidzimy sytuacje przeciwnik może wykorzystać fakt, że użyliśmy go w formie ofensywnej. Po kilku meczach powinniśmy mieć wyczucie kiedy co zrobić pomocne może być też wardowanie, postać z junli często w bardzo łatwy sposób nas zamykają. ”
YoungTact says “Go for extended trades and when he procs his passive, E to a minion behind you to disengage. Rush double dorans blade & try your best to constantly dodge his skillshots. You win levels 1-5 but he does outscale you. If ulted by Morde run to edge then channel a Max charge ultimate to hit him with to stall the duration of his ult. Vid here: https://youtu.be/ntyhaVgMnBI”
qasddsa says “This lane matchup is very boot-dependent. It's highly recommended that you rush Tier 2 boots because it is essential that you dodge his grab, as he can hit you for a lot of damage if you're pulled. I also recommend maxing your Q and just poking him down because he cannot outheal it early on. If he pulls you into his Realm, kite around with Q and W, making sure to not get pulled in. If you succeed in doing this, the matchup is very easy and he won't be able to kill you.”
AlanVenator says “Try to dodge his E, and avoid being poked by his Q. His damage once he activates his passive is insane so be careful. Try to get some jungle help pre6. After that it is very difficult to gank him. Hexdrinker/Adaptive helm is highly recommended. If he is good he will time his shield just before your ult threshold (that's why it's a difficult matchup)”
ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / FLEET FOOTWORK SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Mordekaiser is a really annoying toplaner, He can poke you a lot with his Q so look to stay nearby minions so you reduce his damage (remember it does more damage to isolated targets). Because of how he will try to poke you with Q, the wave will usually be on your side of the lane, so look to farm undertower, be careful also when asking for ganks since he can 2v1 you because of his ult, if he ults your jungler, you can see on the normal map 2 dots, the Blue one is your Jungler, the Red one is Mordekaiser, so by the time his R ends (5 seconds) look to be ahead of him and kill him. Look also to use your R inside his R if possible, since he gets bonus stats of the enemy when they are being ulted, so if he uses R when you already casted your R, he will get some percentage of those resistances. Later on to the game you outscale him but he becomes really annoying with his ult, since he will just wait till you are really low in a teamfight, the ult you and if he is losing the fight he will just use Zhonyas Hourglass and wait for his R to end and then his team will kill you, similar to the Malzahar matchup, only Mercurial Scimitar will get you out of his R, so if you really want to, you can build a Quicksilver Sash right after Trinity Force + Boots and then finish the Mercurial Scimitar as a last item. You will outscale him unless he gets some kills early on. Grasp will not poke him out of lane since he has so much sustain with W and his all in potential can only be matched with Conqueror, or in late game with Fleet.”
Tauricus2017 says “Mordekiser is no thread against Poppy. Your E + Q combo is much faster then he is able to stack his abilities. His ultimate does not make any difference in the game since you can use your E to launch him under your tower If he gets close.”
SkellyBirb says “He has decent range for a melee champ and can hurt you with his ultimate. You can build a Quick Silversash to get out of his ultimate if you're struggling.”
Theknight31 says “Mordekaiser is weak before his level 6 Abuse your advantage if you want to win. When he his level 6 use your w improved for counter his ult. Dont push your lane and wait for the jungler for fight”
top is high impact XD says “wukong has trouble with ap matchups, if you can dodge his e you can fight him though, just make sure to use your w to cancel his ult”
nicomaster9000 says “Mordekaiser can punish you a lot and sneak in a lot of damage if you are not careful. Try to save your ult after his so he can't steal your stats.”
SubHuman Filth says “Get PTA. Dodge every one of his E's and poke only when you dodge them or he wastes them.
Go attackspeed boots and you should win if you dodge his stuff.
If behind, go Qss and survive.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Mordekaiser has really good damage early, but our all in is just slightly better. When you look to trade with him try to dodge his abilities while fighting and that will improve your odds of winning an allin significantly. When mordekaiser ultis you he gets 10% of all of your stats and also all minions are not a factor. Be careful when pushing close to Mordekaiser's turret because if he pulls you into turret range that can be a way that he beats you. After about 2 items you have outscaled mordekaiser and will beat him 1v1 on the splitpush for the mid-late game. When Mordekaiser ults someone else, his location will be revealed by a floating red dot so if you are looking to chase him down, make sure you follow the dot.”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Mordekaiser has really good damage early, but our all in is just slightly better.

Darrkescru says “Runas : PTA (Darrkescru) Aery (Cuei)
Tem 2 estrategias a primeira a minha e buildar full AD usando itens como arco recurvo pra fazer rei destruído ou limite da razão assim você abusa muito antes do lvl 6 e depois de 1b fica facil
A outra (cuei) forçar ele usar tp top e ficar pushando a wave safe sem morrer”
Swaim says “Mordekaiser is skill depended try baiting his q and e and never use your r UNLESS he doesnt have ult other wise he will just run away and all in you while you lack your ultimate ”
ZergDood says “He likes to kill tanks, that means he's a fan of extended trades. Avoid his E with your E or just walk away. He'll eventually outscale you, so end laning phase in the best way you can. Avoid his passive and poke him. Be wary of his Q and try to duck into it with your shield on. If you kill him, rush doran's blade and build a little MR, and he's out of the fight for a while. Remember to farm, he'll push and try to level up fast.”
qazx1427 says “Just buy QSS. It's helpful since a lot of champs have stuns and roots, so buy QSS as soon as he gets L6. It's not a waste of gold as long as you have the reaction time to use it. Keep throwing ghouls at him, then go in with Maiden. He'll think, "Oh, I can ult him, then he'll have no Maiden!" He'll ult you, QSS, W, E, win. Takes a little getting used to, but it works.”
Maltchiana says “Mordekaiser is a hardcounter to illaoi.
You can't win fights if you dont have ult and he can ult you to make your tentacles disappear. Buy Quicksilver sash to counter his ult, and dont use your ult before he uses his.”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “You win early quite handily but after lvl 6 he wins the allin, get an advantage and stay ahead and you can 1v1 him in his ult.
Take MR.”
Ayanleh says “Morde is honestly kinda easy, you can easily dodge his abiltiies with Q movedspeed, take phase rush so when he gets rylais he cant slow you.”
Twist21 says “Mordekaiser is a strong champion in teamfights but he lacks 1v1 power against fighters with good mobility like Tryndamere.I would try to take short trades vs him , chunk him down and then maybe dive him when I get 6.Standard runes and sums for this one.”
Dreadscythe95 says “Morde doesn't let Kayle room for counterplay and his scalling after his first 2 items is very strong. He never stays behind her in priority if he plays decently. QSS is also not a great pick for Kayle early game since it puts her behind is scailling. If you manage waves well though you outscale him in the late game.”
Ravenborne says “Gets you free kills by pulling you into him. Just do not let him get free trades off and if he does ult you, just kite around him so his R goes off before you die and he does not have the extra stats for the rest of the fight. Has no escape except his E which is easy to dodge.”
Twist21 says “One of the easiest matchups for jax , avoid his e or block his passive and then q away , repeat and then all in him when he is low enough.”
wallobear53 says “His main damaging abilities are quite linear, so dodging side to side rather than directly forward or backwards can help you avoid them easily. Just make sure you react in time else he will be able to get you close to him and kill you.
He has a lot of AoE damage, however, he needs to hit some of his abilities or Auto-attacks before his Passive can proc. Once the Passive is activated, it can be a large source of damage, so try to avoid extended fights.
His Resource bar allows you to know how much shielding he will get from his W. Keep an eye on this and avoid trading or fighting him if that bar is more than half-filled as it’ll give him a massive shield as well as a heal.
”
DankFlyingCow says “His passive still works when hes in your mouth, so unlike any other matchup, you are taking damage 100% of the time. Also, hes AP. ”
OverCookedFish says “Morde is an even matchup, and the win typically goes to who gets the first kill. Just beware the one item power spike and use your R for unstoppable while he is attempting to R you, as it will cancel his and put it on CD.”
ClanBlade says “This is really a skill based matchup. Similar to Darius, E away to try dodge his E then all in as it also has a long cooldown. Don't stand still as he can easily Q you and keep moving and stand near minions to avoid the bonus damage if it hits a single target.”
M.P.C says “In his current state he is very unstoppable. If you know that he'll be going top lane don't pick Rumble, in the off chance that you pick Rumble first I suggest you rush Morellonomicon to stop his sustain and farm under tower to discourage him from sending you to the shadow realm since tower interactions still remain the same inside the shadow realm”
Fiora Pogjet says “The lane is very skillbased. in the early game you can trade him with your Q and he can trade with his Q. You can always go for short trades with Q and E but get out before he gets his 3 hits for his passive, because then he wil outtrade you hard. You can also prarry his E very easy and with your ult at lvl 6 u should be doing more than his ult. ”
aegiswings says “Mordekaiser is the toughest matchup Teemo will commonly face top lane. He isn't very reliant on auto attacks so your blind isn't that useful. He also has a grab, healing, and does insane damage early game. I recommend usually banning him.”
Flagoony says “Not a difficult matchup. Dodge his E and poke him down. Heal from his poke with your W's. Collect chimes when you are low on mana. Since he will usually build items that make him tankier, I recommend looking for roams around the map to get leads.”
ModxLoL says “Mordekaiser shouldn't be too much of an issue as long as you dodge the ability that pulls you in. You also need to try to dodge or at the very least shield his q's. Try not to fight him in his ult if you both are full health he has lots of stats. Just do your best to run around stalling his ultimate; do this by utilizing your shield, 3rd q, and stun. This is one of the few matchups I would recommend taking ignite against so that you can have a better chance fighting him in his ult if running isn't an option. Essence reaver can also be a nice choice into Mordekaiser. ”
Stiwy says “Go for conqueror build here.
It's important that you dodge his Qs as much as you can and when he pulls you with his E you use your E in the opposite direction.
Don't fight him if you don't have your ult ready and even if you have it will be hard to take him down.
When his passive is active you have to disengage as fast as possible or you will get destroyed.
Ganks are not that useful because of his R that can isolate your jungler in the Death Realm and give him a kill.
Buy QSS to surprise him (and possibly waste his ult).
From level 13 you should be able to 1 v1 him more easily.
Start D.Shield and try to get a spectre's cowl ASAP.
If he gets out of control consider buying an adaptive helm too.”
Fourpaws33 says “Careful of trades before 6. He will out trade you with his Q and passive. You can win the fight inside his r if you play smart. Build dirk first for the stats and try to keep an advantage.”
gsaeyx says “What build you go doesn't matter you lose anyways. GOD JUST fucking dodge please cancerous champ. When he ults point blank ult him so you stun him and cancels his ult. It might take a bit of practice but thats the only way you can win. Legit cancer champ.”
Space69420 says “You're E gives a really nice amount of movement speed as long as you dodge his pull with your shield and respect his gap close and ult you should be able to win”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. Mordekaiser has really good damage early, but our all in is just slightly better.

When Mordekaiser ults someone else, his location will be revealed by a floating red dot so if you are looking to chase him down, make sure you follow the dot.”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up qui peut s'avérer compliquer, mais tout à fait gérable en t'y prenant bien. Contre lui prend le conquérant c'est décisif car le combat va se faire dans la durée, lorsque tu l'engage pense à te déplacer entre tes sorts et Coup blanc autour de lui, ça lui compliquera grandement la tâche ses sorts sont lent et difficiles à placer sur une cible mobile !
Une fois niveau 6, si jamais il t'ulti ne chercher pas à l'affronter gagne du temps en courant un peu, et fonce lui dessus une fois l'ulti fini !
Astuce : Une source d'anti heal comme l'excutionner peut grandement facilité le match up. ”
Dantheman81 says “If they pick Mord, DONT PICK YORICK. He will beat you in nearly every way all game long. Unless he doesn't know what hes doing, this will be very difficult. You ghouls give him so much healing and he can 1 shot them as well. Just don't do it!!”
ChocoChurro says “Not as hard as it seems. As long as you're able to dodge his E it should be an easy, or at least a safe lane. But he can counter you by building Rylai's Crystal Scepter.”
Twiggymocha says “His e pulls you in both stopping your q and giving him the chance to get some stacks making life twice as hard for you. I suggest building Adaptive Helm vs him and also take mr runes.”
sexyman46 says “Bullshit champ. You should rush boots so you can dodge his skills, but his hitbox is broken and after 6, even if he missed all his skillshots, he will still manage to kill you with his ult. Be careful under his turret!”
Xplor says “Mordekaiser in general, should not be a threat against you, as you will outdamage him most of the times. The only threat with him would be if he manages to have some kills (from other lanes) before you. If he gets feeded even a bit, you lost the game against him.
Keep him on-short and poke him as much as possible with your ghouls.”
Darrkescru says “Antes era uma das matchup mais dificeis mas e so fazer teemo ad que fica bem facil, desvia do Q dele a todo custo mesmo que custe seu flash para matar ele, quando ele te pushar e acertar o Q cegue ele para ele não conseguir procar a passiva ”
Lintaar says “You can dodge all his abilities really well when your passive is stacked. And he honestly shouldnt even be able to hit you when he Ults.”
Angela du Seithr says “Contentez-vous d'éviter son E et Mordekaiser est doux comme un agneau. Il est plus lent que vous et même sous ultime vous pouvez facilement lui courir autour ou utiliser votre propre ultime pour neutraliser le sien.”
Magginator says “Early lane bully, early spectre's cowl and if he builds protobelt first you should be fine.
If he rushes Liandry's like I do Adaptive helm may be better”
Saturnyourube says “dodging his E will be very useful
try to poke him in a way that he cant activate his passive.
dont stay in lane with low hp because he will ult you. and u will probably die.
”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Ever since preseason, Morde has massively rose in popularity mostly due to shield bash and honestly he was pretty sleeper for a long time imo. The biggest strength Morde has is his ability to 1v1 almost anyone who comes into melee range of him. He is one of the easiest champions to gank so try to call your jungler to camp him since Yasuo has really good gank setup. When fighting him 1v1, never keep fighting him when he has his W on, it will do massive damage to you and if he hits champions with it, it heals for a lot more than minions. Go for an all in on him when his W is down and ignite early so he doesn't get healing from his Ulti. Buy an early magic mantle if you think he is doing way too much damage to you.”
SpyDaFX says “ Mordekaiser became a much easier matchup for Renekton after his rework (despite his winrate), your game plan is to gain an hp lead and gold lead in this matchup, you will outtrade him with your sustain, dont take extended trades unless you're 100% sure you can kill him. go Conqueror/Lethal tempo, rush a death dance and bork.”
Nyx Adachi says “NO LE TRADEES
Generalmente los mordekaiser aprovechan su dps para sacar ventaja y denegarte farm, conserva la calma, rushea mercury threads y yelmo adaptable, a lvl 6 intenta sacar ventaja con otras lineas si o si para que el morde reduzca su utilidad y si es necesario vuelve a linea con tp luego de ayudar. Trata de dejar de tradear en el momento en que este cargue su pasiva e incluso puedes armarte unas runas con phase rush para poder salir del tradeo facilmente.”
ForOrion says “The metal giant is squishy underneath his W shield early game plus as long as his health under the threshold Pyke can still execute. Dodge and zone his Q and bait out his W for good trades and potential all ins, get cs advantage/tiamat advantage and you should be able to out trade always.”
TotallyEclipse says “If he rushes ninja tabi bramble vest you will get outscaled by lvl 6 if he doesnt, all in him every chance you get, dodge his Q and delay his passive while you smack him. going for early dorans is very good here. Put a wits end in your build and you'll win for sure later on”
Dedrick says “He is able to beat you in all early trades with his passive, mid and late game he can ult you to take your stats, killing you easily and using your tankiness to kill your team.”
MarKoXGOD says “Mordekaiser is somewhat of an even match-up. Early game he is weak, his only combo that can break your morale is E - Grab, Q - Slam, AA and then passive. If the Mordekaiser builds tank, don't engage alone, because you surely won't have enough damage to pull it off all alone.”
JuarezLOL says “be careful against mordekaiser because this champion has everything for killing wukong and your match up is very hard but there is 1 escape route which is you need to trade with him in early game like lvl 1 or 2 when he used Q or E for minion you can go for a quick trade and back off ”
Wamson says “Survive the laning phase at all costs! Don’t get bullied out of the lane! Freeze creeps on your side of the lane and farm until mid game.”
JuarezLOL says “its hard because of his W but you can easily win over him in 2 moments
1 early game at lvl 1 because your E will deny his passive he cant proc it with auto attack
2 after you get your ruined king first trade with him to get a good chunk but do not use your R or Ruined king
second trade with Q E and ruined king
after he used his R use your R”
MateuszNH says “Really hard matchup.
My second ban option.
I found playing aggresive early and trying to miss his skills with clone pretty good for him so he is beatable, much stronger after 6 though. Your only chance is if he ults your W. If he has both shield and ulti then don't even try.”
ACE4291 says “You can tank him with a full magic res rune. not the hardest champ to beat with you leanr to dodge his Qs but this champ is one of the strongest when it comes to 1v1 you. Just watch out for Morde and bully him as early as lvl1 to lvl6 ”
Hijitori says “You need to destroy him early and mid game. Mordekaiser post level 11 will sometimes be still able to kill you with his ultimate, despite your advantage.”
MrClockWorks says “You are stronger than Morde early but he will outscale you pretty fast as he has the power to tank your full combo and then have the consistent damage to kill you. try to get a lead early and then buy qss so he can never lock you down.”
DirtyDishSoap says “Stay away from him when he has passive out. You win with 4 ghouls.
The problem with this lane is his ability to take away your maiden.
I saw another guide that says to "wait" but to hell with that. You want to try and wittle him down as fast as possible before he ults you. Maiden will be there to greet you AFTER the ult ends. Not if you summon her into Mords world and then after.
Pro tip - Save your wall UNTIL he ults you. After that just kite and survive. Congrats - You basically win after that if your maiden is still out.”
report singed ty says “Bring ignite and conqueror and rush protobelt and you can win the 1v1. Focus on juking his stuff, and PRESS ULT AFTER HE DOES.
His R steals your stats, so always hold your R until he uses his first or he will steal your ult stats instead of your normal ones.”
UlisesFRN says “His passive is a hard counter as you need to stay at melee range for a long time to do your full damage.His W can counter your R so try to bait him out. Poke him pre 6 and try to dodge his E and Q. Later on try to peel for your carry otherwise he will Ult him. ”
Beatport Expo says “Not really a trouble but you'll have to consider when is the time to fight him. You can easily win against him in the early game, you're unlikely to win late game though, unless he's way behind”
Kingarthur720 says “Mordekaiser is a very strong mid to late game champ with his high carry potential being very difficult to match. With the runepage they usually build on him having a lot of healing, the trickle healing from his passive with ravenous hunter makes him live a lot in the long run. Bield grievous wounds against him and maybe consider building adaptive helm into him.”
TentiTiger11 says “If he gets ahead, don't fight him. He can tank a lot of hits, heal a lot, and deal tons of damage. If he is ahead, try to fight him 1v3 if he used his ult lately. Be quick because it has a pretty short cooldown.”
gabriel5ben9 says “Stun and run. That's it. Sometimes you can outdamage him. If we ults, just stun and run as much as you can. if your W deals damage to him you'll have bonus MR for the entirety of his ult.”
VIP Titan says “Mordekaiser seems hard right?
But its actually easy if you plays it right and harass harass harass him in level 1. Use your Q chase him down like you do for most champion. But make sure dodge his E. Than it will be greatly reduces the time he can stacks his passive.
Your R can get away from his R!
Remember MAX E not Q! ”
ShaharKarisi says “You'll win most 1v1s past level 6 and most trades after level 3, just farm safely and poke from time to time to ensure a strong level 6 all-in.”
Subject3 says “morde is a menace if you dont pick magic res in your runes, but when you do pick magic res, he is so easy to fight just bully him hard.”
KayleMachine says “Never has kill potential on you if you properly dodge his abilities Q/E.
When he ults you your Q+W help you to just run the duration out.”
Destroya777 says “Avoid trading with him. Don't let his E cancel your E when you run away. You can use W to avoid the pull of his E. If you can react fast enough you can W to avoid his R.”
Vodka4Gaben says “If he ults you, its really bad just try to dodge everything unless you have a tentacle ready in your passive then if u place it down, E him and ult, you will still kill him, but ONLY if you have your passive ready.”
Starci says “Before level 6 you have some chance of beating him, but after it's impossible to 1v1 him, even if you are fed. Just buy QSS and don't fight him.”
Auntbetsie says “Kind of the same as illaoi but less annoying. Very easy to dodge his Q and E and can punish him for it. But when he hits 6 since his R steals damage etc he can deal a lot of damage to you so you might even have to alt it if not near a tower or team. Best thing to do whilst laning is stay behind your minions as his Q does less damage if it hits minions at the same time as you, so don't get caught out in the open.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “Snowball lane. If you get an early lead he will be unable to do jackshit about it, but if he manages to get seekers + liandries soon-ish, he will hurt, A LOT. He is also AP, so defensive options are limited. Do note Morde LOVES extended trades, so try your best to avoid his passive proc, else you will lose every trade because outhealing his DoT with W is impossible. Do remember your emp W cleanses his ult, but if he is smart he will wait until you have used your stacks to send you to his death realm. Also asking for ganks after 6 is wasting your jungler's time, since he will just ult one of you and either manage to survive or even kill one of you. Take into account his ult does NOT affect BotRK's stats, so if you get botrk + mortal reminder + maw/sv he can't deal with you at all. Overall manageable, if volatile lane. Either ignite+flash or TP+flash works well enough. Conqueror is preferable.”
Gwndimi says “just be carefull he cant kill you realy fast rush Redemption + Merc boots
Lane phase should not be a problem but you will fall behind in damage so wait for ganks buy a QSS because he will ult you mid/late game”
CounterBlad3 says “This is a very gold based matchup, if you have the lead you free win. Just make sure you dodge his 'e' so you can run at him afterwards”
Rivenetto says “I never knew to play this matchup good. He have armor,he have shield,he slows,he deals damage,he outscales you. Just so broken champion. Try to get some early level kills and trades.When he uses his Q thats ur window for some potential trade.All in him if he uses his E”
classicnoob says “Skill Matchup If the morde plays wrong punish him Don't go in extended Trades. As his passive will counter you and outtrade you easily. Banworthy.”
The Ryann Kingg says “Mordekaiser is by far my easiest match-up with Shyvanna. Once you reach LVL 3, LVL 6. It should be pretty hard for him to kill you if you have ignite up. Early in the game, only fight if you have Ignite up. Once you reach LVL 6 and also when you complete Death's Dance, and especially after you complete Spirit Visage, you beat him easily. Just Ult onto him and run him down. He won't able to keep up with you sustain. ”
Asoreth says “Another annoying lane, Mordekaiser is a caster so your W is almost useless here, he excels at long fights so try to dodge his E so he doesn't prolong it for too long.”
Erenando says “Absolute pain in the Ass. He is as painful as Darius. He won't let you get any stacks in early game and he doesn't need items to destroy you. Doran's shield and conquerer is all he needs to fuck you up pre 6. Sometimes I think about building qss against him, but this would also be a waste on your item build. Just get your sheen, spirit visage and adaptive helm. Make sure to dodge his E's and don't force unnecessary trades with him.”
TRAMANOSIA says “Ye this is a hard matchup because of his passive.
I would recommend that you avoid all ins and rushing one of these items (Wit's end, Visage, Adaptive Helm).”
GreeN1337 says “Counters You in almost every posible way. His Q does absurde damage when hitting a single target so for Your best try to fight in minnions. His pasive is also busted You will die trying to kill him becouse of it. If you didnt ban Mordekaiser then you can pretty much just give up the laning phase.”
I Play Blitz Top says “Just don't be stupid and play safe, playing next to tower will make mords ult useless and you can probably get in a few undertower take downs. ”
OakenshieldXVI says “Too much DPS and magic crit. Try to avoid his Q and E and only then you'll be able to trade damage with him. Be wise and use your W to escape his E and his R when timing correctly.”
Cats4lyfe123 says “You should be able to out-trade Mordekaiser as long as you stay away from his passive unless he builds Rylai's Crystal Scepter. Don't try to fight him in his ultimate unless you are far ahead, just dash around him or use your W until it's over.”
SuperPopo7 says “fight early game as much as you can. This is like if a Nasus fucked Vladamir and this is the spawn that came out. just make sure to fight and HOLD YOUR W IF HE HITS 6 so you can get skarll back instantly”
Anonbroh says “Mordekaiser has the best laning in Top-lane with his amazing ultimate and ability bully you in lane without mana, try to get a gank top before level 6 while he doesn't have his ultimate”
zendo33 says “Es un pesado de libro,quizás en late podrías ganarle o que el morde sea un reverendo manco .
Jugar con resistencia mágica en early y esperar alguna ayuda del jungla.”
ShinyEmo says “Try to all in him early, especially at levels 1-2. If you are ahead, you can kill him even in his Ult. If you are behind, buy Quicksilver Sash. After 2 items, it is impossible for him to kill you in a 1v1 even in his Ult. ”
MFNahde says “He's relatively easy to lane against with a little bit of FANCY feet but just keep an eye out for his ultimate-- if you try to use The Equalizer on him and he ults you, your R disappears, so keep that in mind!”
Oblak says “He is not a threat if you consider making for first item some magic resistance, or atleast a spectre. You can bully him a little then comeback to farming, just, don't make a direct 1v1 with him and you will be alright.”
AkenoSenpai says “I personally perma ban this guy every game since the rework, so i cant say to much, but the way i used to handle him him was making my adventage on him early on (pre 6). After that despite being behind he can still easly beat you.”
StephanBJ says “A good Sylas will kill a good Mordekaiser but a bad sylas will die from a bad Mordekaiser. Watch out for his passive and his E that pulls you to him (should doge with your E ) .His ultimate is quite usefull so try to take it and when a team fight starts you should use it to kill an adc or to take a tank from the fight so your team can win”
omicronouroboros says “If you can dodge his E, he can't hit you, so just play safe and last hit minions. May want to build Mercurial Scimitar to escape his ult.”
miniRAGE says “Mordekaiser's passive will shred you if you stay in it too long. There's almost no good way to get around this as Sion, and you'll probably have to wait for your jungler most of the time if your opponenet knows what he's doing.”
lugzinho says “Morde doesn't have much mobility so it's easy to stick to the Iron Revenant, and the GW is really good to counter his W.
But try to get ahead before he gets Seeker's Armguard, otherwise you'll be having a bad time trying to kill him.”
mac.moba says “You beat him at every level. I love to let him get his passive off at level 1 so that he thinks he wins the all-in, so that I can then just kill him at level 1. Later on in the game it’ll be harder to kill him once he gets tanky, but he shouldn’t be able to do anything to you early. Also, your ultimate cancels his ultimate so use that to your advantage. If you ever do get ulted by Morde and you don’t have yours, remember that if you throw out a Q just before he ults you, your Q will be on cool down and you won’t be able to pick it up, and the same thing happens when you throw a Q in his death realm just as it’s about to end - you won’t be able to pick it up since it’s in a different realm so you’ll have to wait for it to come off of cool down. Where possible, try to save your Q if you think he’s gonna ult you, and also try to save your Q when you think his ult is gonna finish. For the most part, that’ll be the hardest part of this matchup. Exchanging flashes with Morde is always worth, rush Phage and run him down the lane over and over. If you do fall behind in this matchup, a Spectre’s Cowl or Hexdrinker will be good to pick up early.”
6MillionBreads says “Unless you get ahead early, you probably won't be able to win trades against him and you're basically out of luck if he ults you unless you can fake him out long enough for it to expire and yeet yourself out of there with your E”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “You can win this lane by getting a lead before level 6. When Mordekaiser gets level 6 he suddenly gets a major advantage in this lane since he steal your stats. Before level 6 you can poke him to death. but just make sure you dodge his E and Q combo. If he gets low enough you can go in for the kill, but just make sure he doesn't hit you with E as this will tip the fight into his favor. Getting close to Mordekaiser will make you loose every trade so always try and ensure you keep him at a distance. Brush control will be really important since he can walk up to you from the fog of war, so check the brushes with your lantern if you are unsure where he is and make sure you have river warded so that you can play to the bottom of the lane and away from the brushes.”
Epic Striker says “Morde is probably only if he gets fed if you keep him away from you and spam your q you will scale and destroy him if hes fed its over.”
SirVermillion says “He will counter your Q's true damage with his W shield. Only way to win this matchup is to show early lane dominance and abuse him before his level 3 and 6 power spikes. After level 6, play safe and farm, do not look to engage, build magic resist items like Hex drinker. And only engage with your jungler if he already used his ult. ”
FlopyWeiner says “Honestly he used to be insanely OP and was a one pick one win champ but now I would recommend to wait it out for him to come to you. You can 1v1 him in your minnion wave and you win”
Colgatepot69 says “Same notes from AAtrox apply here...
Basically any bruiser will crush you early game, so play safe until you start to do damage and can take more than one hit.”
Braddik says “If he rushes ninja tabi bramble vest you will get outscaled by lvl 6
if he doesnt, all in him every chance you get, dodge his Q and delay his passive while you smack him. going for early dorans is very good here. Put a wits end in your build and you'll win for sure later on”
Trial_By_Barrel says “Poke him and only use oranges for his death realm. Believe it or not Gangplank's oranges get you out of the death realm instantly. Also try and avoid his pulls.”
Pedrokis says “Você ganha o early facilmente se colocar bastante pressão nele. / O seu primeiro Q tem mais range que o Q dele, abusa disso. / Quando ele gastar o Q o dano dele é bem limitado, mas não subestime a passiva dele quando ele tiver fechado Rylai ou Liandry. / O E dele pode ser usado ao ser favor: Se a troca for boa pra você e Se você tiver seu segundo ou, preferencialmente, seu terceiro Q, ele vai tar te ajudando ao te puxar pra cima. / Cuidado com a ult dele no fim do jogo caso você esteja muito forte. Mesmo que talvez ele não te mate, ele te impede de impactar a team fight, então compre QSS (Bandana Mercurial) o mais rápido possível e depois feche Lâmina Mercurial (que também acaba ajudando no life steal e no MR).”
The Lost Drawing says “Es un counter, sobre todo a nivel 6, ya que tanquea en su 'R' y tiene mucho DPS aparte que no gasta mana y tiene algo de rango para farmear
Con un 'Yelmo Adaptable' le paras mucho daño”
Joaking says “Short trades against mordekaiser, dodge all his abilities or you're death. They're easy to dodge with your Q and E. Fight him when he has his W in cooldown.”
Daedralus says “Due to his triple Q hit mechanic, he does have a strong burst, but also a delayed fighting system. This is your ally as you are capable of restoring quite a decent amount of HP between his auto attacks. It is also wise to back off before his 3rd Q, and then to ult back at him in a timing that will have his 3rd Q expire during the suppression, making him even weaker as his Q will be down for a longer time. ”
Askio says “The final of the top 3 bans for top. Not as extreme as Darius and Renek, but his ability to isolate you in duels and steal your stats makes him frustrating to gank around. Lower level threat however, since you can bully him pre 6 or if his ult is down. ”
VicGal96 says “Snowball lane. If you get an early lead he will be unable to do jackshit about it, but if he manages to get seekers + liandries soon-ish, he will hurt, A LOT. He is also AP, so defensive options are limited. Do note Morde LOVES extended trades, so try your best to avoid his passive proc, else you will lose every trade because outhealing his DoT with W is impossible. Do remember your emp W cleanses his ult, but if he is smart he will wait until you have used your stacks to send you to his death realm. Also asking for ganks after 6 is wasting your jungler's time, since he will just ult one of you and either manage to survive or even kill one of you. Overall manageable, if volatile lane. Either ignite+flash or TP+flash works well enough. Conqueror is preferable.”
BeautifulWinter says “This should be a pretty even match up with the most recent nerf to Mordekaiser. However due to his ult you should probably buy QuickSilver Sash. Wait until he uses his ult on you before ulting because it removes your tentacles from the map as well. Your ult can technically stop Mordekaiser ult if you time it right however don't bet on it.”
xxskipskipxx says “Lvl 1 trade him if you get in AA range dodge his Q and retreat right after Q3 him!
You can easily dodge his Q and E!
If he E you after Qing the wave take this opportunity to get a free gap closer and trade him!!
Consider getting Stopwatch for teamfights or even a QSS to make his R useless !!”
feederfromelohell says “Absolutely defenceless against your CC train and burst. Don't directly trade with him just poke and get out if u can't finish him. He can't escape you or ganks and can't scale.”
IvaoManeirao says “Tricky. You can win this and this matchup pends more to the "even" side, however, he has just amazing trading ability in laning phase - i recommend you play this just like Darius; play it safe with poking and farming and buffer your E when he tries to pull you in.”
Big Belly Bop says “Dodge his E's, Q's, and abuse your range. If he lands his pull on you, E out and W him to secure the root and get some autos off. He is very tanky for what he builds and will be able to easily win extended trades. Think about building an early QSS if he keeps ulting you! Flash + TP, Doran's Blade + 1 HP, Sustain rune page.”
ExfIamed says “Now this matchup actually is pretty easy EARLY ON, but if you die to him once you just lose the lane, if you get ulted even while ahead you lose, he outscales you and even if you're 90/0 you cant fight him late game, but hey you kept him away from your team for a few seconds :D”
Baxiboxi says “
When traveling with Pantheon thanks to his extremely thick shield from the Mordekaiser Undying Armor, he will not be afraid of Pantheon's Q-Comet Spear. Even if you don't own any dive or dive moves. But Mordekaiser can confidently balance Pantheon before rushing into 1 vs 1 with colleagues on the other front.
Finally, the last part. What makes Mordekaiser a god when confronted with Pantheon. When Pantheon began to power the Realm of Death, he immediately interrupted Pantheon's R beat and locked him in with the Mordekaiser in the Kingdom of Death.
Besides, Mordekaiser's E also interrupts the key of Pantheon's most important skill in combat, making it impossible for him to interact with the whole map so comfortably. However, like Pantheon, Mordekaiser needs a lot of skills to master because the skill set is easy to get used to but also highly oriented.”
GenuinelyPolish says “Because of Poppy's q and e you can punish him for using his ult but he's so tanky you have to kite w/ Titanic Hydra and shield toss for any luck 1v1, but likewise he doesn't pose a significant threat to you.”
Verdehile says “This guy is actually a b*$^@ to play against sometimes because all he has to do is build armguard tabis and 1 armor item. You can easily beat him later with armor pen and wits or early game if he misplays by using e randomly or q at lvl 1 while full fury and hp.”
ENX Kai says “SEASON 10 META pick, can out damage you at any point in the game. Big damage and ultra tanky. has a broken ult that change the tide. Can punish you real hard in lane. Play extra safe. Get Mercury's Threads and Adaptive Helm.”
numpadddd says “Dont get hooked, you cant get out of his passive and he also has his ult, so watch out extremely, altough you can still threaten him and maybe also kill him, but be carefull”
SirLudan says “If you use his ult to ult him after he ulted you, you win. Otherwise run. His abilities are pretty easy to doge and you can oftentimes trade with him well.”
Ends says “Can be an issue post lvl 6 but aatrox can out heal mordekaiser inside of mordekaisers ultimate and kill him as long as they are even in lane or as long has mordekaiser does not rush a morello.”
Defensivity1 says “If he ever hits his e on you before 6 or even when you are level 6 he is extremely dangerous to fight, he outdamages you and he outshields you and on top of that its an ap champion so you cant itemize cleaver or iceborne to counteract his damage and there is simply no mr version of these items. i simply decide to ban him every time i intend to play yorick”
Taliyehn says “Seriously, Mordekaiser is like Urgot, but with a lower range, and he has an extremely easy-to-dodge "hook". Just kite him, Q his face and that's basicly it. If he ults, no panic. Maybe he's going to kill you, but that would mean he already has a lot of items and he has other guys to ult at that moment.”
mightydylan101 says “Morde can be hard to deal with as he can get pretty beefy so play safe and farm so you can beat the squishy targets mid game and full build he can be beaten with your magic pen.”
oscarlotus says “If he lands an E you're dead, but that being said it's really hard to land as morde. You can just space out his E and he shouldnt be much of a problem”
ProgettoYorick says “mordekaiser personally is the champion who i ban most often. literally in early you can't do anything, the farm will be difficult initially, its E-Q combo literally destroys you, try to dodge it. Also in late it is a big problem his R will counter you a lot, separating you from your R. You can decide to keep it only during the phase in which he uses his R, only to not die inside. OTP tip: 1) after the end of Mordekaiser's R your R will disappear
2) I personally try to keep it only in extreme cases”
YeeDS says “Very strong champion, try to snowball early because you will lose at level 6 if you are not ahead. Dodge as much as you can and avoid him when his ultimate is up.”
Fluddah says “Morde is kinda just op rn, and i really hate facing morde, so honestly this is more of a personal score on him but yeah hes kinda an issue, you dont damage him much and you might as well just poke with W”
potataroll says “Any type of CC is deadly to you since it puts your W on cooldown and a detached Yuumi is a dead Yuumi. Mordekaiser takes this to the extreme in that, after he hits that level six, you'd never be able to peacefully proc or detach ever again. If you go for a heal relic, make sure he's far, far away.
Also, if it looks like he's eyeing your host, then jump ship while you can. If he R's your vehicle, then you're going to be left detached, probably in the middle of a team fight and you probably won't be able to get that channel off to W into your nearest teammate.
He is a monster.”
Karnan says “This fucker is just broken at the moment. Conqueror synergizes so well for him and he can easily take on 1v2s past lvl 6. Be very mindful of Morde and if you wanna shut him down try to do so before lvl 6. ”
miltos11 says “You better pick electrocute and play safe until level 6 where you can use electrocute to do damage to him while using the biscuits and the potions from your starting item which will give you 50% immediately. However the Time warp tonic just give you the 50% of the hp and mana immediately it will not give you any extra healing and it will not be useful if you dont get in a fight ”
OpticR says “Wouldn't go aggresive on him, playing against him I would recommend try to get a lead by roaming, while preventing him from getting any plating of course.”
AlienMV says “Similar to Darius, watch out for his E and you should be fine. Unlike Darius, he doesn't have any more CC aside from his E, so it should be simpler.”
Asothin says “With the recent Mordekaiser changes if he gets to you he will destroy you. On top of that he has some sustain and his shield can block your poke. Be careful when playing against him.”
Kalrex says “Use your E to engage and dodge his Q by kiting, you'll win the lane every time. Hitting you with his Q is the only way he can come out ahead. ”
picklehater77 says “He can be pretty nasty as an AP matchup. You don't have much ways to fight him directly once he starts putting more ranks into his Q, use your E smartly and you can come up ahead. ”
Koulh says “No inicio você consegue vence-lo, mas ao passar dos níveis, deverá ter comprado o Catalizador das Eras para continuar vencendo. Se caso perder, aguarde a runa de armadura ativar, juntamente com sua Tabi Ninja para entrar em combate.
”
Ze mentira says “Max: Q-->W. Rune: PTA page.
start: doran shield. and do spectre's cowl as soon as possible. This isn't a winnable lane, JUST SURVIVE.
//first do adaptative helm and later do attack speed items to duel him better. ex: Wit's end or trinity force.”
Hamstertamer says “You can sustain from his poke and disengage whenever you want so basically a farmfest, there's no fight in this lane unless you want one. Either play the farming game or run ignite (counters his healing) and all-in him with ult.”
Atlascrower says “Your barrels help much to slow him, if he wants to engage you. Don´t trade, he is much stronger as 1v1 Champ. Safe your Orange for his Ultimate if you arent away already. Dodge his E and you can farm pretty well while laning from distance.”
AsomeSonic says “morde can be scary if he gets ahead in a 1v1, try to avoid 1v1 and beat him in the teamfight, in the sidelanes stay healthy so his ult doesn't kill you, you can buy time with your ult in his ult, once your get adaptive he still can hurt cuz of liandrys”
Chromuro says “He has only aoe spells ffs. The only single target skill is the one that you have to avoid at all costs. He hits like a truck, but you can compensate his ult damage with your ult healing. Stay safe.”
blunderr says “Play safely try to avoid his Q's and E's and you'll be safe. If you do happen to get caught in an E and he ults you use your shrooms to kite away from him and use your flash if necessary, use your Q aswell to prevent him from hitting an auto attack and prevent him from activating his passive, if you do those 2 things you should be able to easily survive Morde's ult or even beat him in his own ult. I recommend Doran's Shield.”
EpicDan01 says “He has free damage at no cost and good percent damage on his passive, while having good healing through runes. When he uses R he steals some of our stats, which lets him win every time. Never fight him, instead try to split push or be more useful in teamfights.”
HKRV says “Skill matchup. Don't all in on him and just poke on him. Can't do much against it. Easily kiteable. Worth notifying your jungler if he has ult as a 2v1 fight against him can turn around quickly. Freeze wave if you struggle he will get bored and ults you under your tower. ”
Weakling says “His constant poke with his passive is making him a very hard matchup against nasus early game. If he doesnt let you stack early you wont be that useful. If you can dodge some abilities you can expect to win lane.”
Poppu says “(Patch 9.12) Reworked Mordekaiser is stronger now with his new kit, however he is simply easier to play against than before, as he could no longer spam damage abilities every 4 secs. Take Grasp and poke him down with short trades, the longer you fight him, the more damage you will take. His early game is not as strong as his mid-late game, be careful when trading as he can proc his passive with 3 hits/autoes, and that aura he uses deals %dmg continuously.”
SoulHero says “You outscale once you get spirit visage in my build. Go the shield and second wind. Your dash can cancel his e, TO WIN FIGHTS, FLIP HIM AFTER HE USES HIS SHIELD. For some reason i don't win if I flip early as he shields most of it. Once you flip him when his shield is gone, you do a ton of dmg and you win.Dodge his q's and you outscale.”
I1oveZombie says “You can poke him down and evade hes abilities to win fairly easy. However when/if he gets Crystal scepter hes q will slow and dodging hes Pull will not be as easy and you will lose those trades.”
Petethebossch says “You SMASH post 6 if you stacks your q's where you can. Also very gankable. just don't try to fight him before you are ready and you will be golden”
empoleonz0 says “The bane of my existence. He shits on you early and you don't even outscale him either and the worst part is that his ultimate separates you from your ultimate which is a huge part of your dueling potential.”
Dorwu says “Thats a never ending story, so you better dont waste your time trading because you will most likely end up dead or you will lose a lot of cs for no reason”
Super_Cat says “Morde's q deals more dmg than Aatrox's early game, has 2x lower cd (legit) and it doesn't have to be hit 3 times in a row.
His hook is way stronger and easier to hit than Aatrox's.
His sustain is almost as good as Aatrox's early game.
If you get hooked it's hard to run away from his passive.
The only thing Aatrox has that could give him an advantage is his dash so use it to dodge his abilities.”
homxr says “With the changes to Dark Harvest (even post-nerf), they're still really strong on Mordekaiser's R. Your best bet is going anti-heal, into Maw. Keep an eye open if he goes bot and the dragon is up.”
TheOsKaRoO says “You out-trade Mordekaiser from the very beggining of the game, and even if he manages to get to late you still easily win due to your passive heal.”
messketchup says “Just chill until lvl 3 and then all in him. Allow yourself to get hit by his E to bring you closer to him
If he ults you then you can just stack off him and be ready for when you pop out you’ll have full passive to apply to everyone else.”
Angela du Seithr says “Très dangereux en duel, Mordekaiser est une machine de guerre qui peut vous rouler dessus si vous le sous-estimez. Bien positionner le E pour éviter les dégâts de son A et attention à son E qui peut vous repositionner.”
WTMudkip says “Don't try to lvl2 cheese him. Even if you're a level ahead his passive will out beat your combo and then you'll int :). Oh and you won't win in his R unless you're very fed.”
PandaSenpai101 says “You can easily parry his E which is very easy to see. His R is better for you, as you have a greater dueling potential against him. Make sure to look carefully for vitals, as his passive and his R can make it hard to see.”
Zestysquid says “Pushes very hard and does a lot of early damage. It can be hard to keep up but you should be fine as long as you don't feed him. Once he's 6 don't get in range of his ult unless you have Q up and boxes nearby.”
best teemo says “Start: doran ring, magic resist runes
How he will try to trade against you:
Mordekaiser will try to either q you if you're in his range, or pull you then q you and auto you to death with his passive. after lvl 6 he will instantly ult you then kill you.
How to win trades pre6:
The only thing you need to focus on dodging is his pull, do not attack him if he has his pull off cooldown, once he uses his pull, try to sidestep it, then hard trade against him until his pull comes back in 24 seconds, even if you get hit by his q, it doesn't matter. just make sure you don't get in his auto range so that he doesn't proc his passive.
on your first back, rush qss
How to win post 6:
You should have been winning lane against him pre6, every time mordekaiser tries to ult you, instantly qss him, side step his pull and auto him hard, q when he gets too close then w away.”
Jnewbringspain says “You can do everything right and he will still come out on top and simply out damage you. Avoid fighting him entirely and pick up early magic resist.”
Prince Afghan says “Mordekaiser only poses a threat to you if you underestimate his healing. Otherwise he has no escape from your W and your all in potential is quite strong at Level 6. Executioners calling could be worth it if he follows you when splitting.”
Ryako the Exile says “Try not go get poked from his Q or E so he will not go as fast as he can go for the 3 stacks for his passive. Riven will win early game against him but still go for some MR and if you both are lv 6 Riven will still win against him, but Riven will lose a 1v1 if Morde has ult and Riven not”
Bombabo says “Bully him early. You can punish him hard when any one of his abilities are on cooldown, and you will win fights (even in death realm) until he finishes his core items and gets some levels under his belt. He is easy to snowball off of, which you will need to do to win this matchup”
0mega best says “New Mord is the most powerful top laner right now, and he really does counter you alot. Ban him at all time, didnt ban, then farm and call for ganks, never 1v1 him, he will destroy you.”
RainbowNova says “I haven't played against Mordekaiser post-rework, but if your shrooms stay when he ults you, you'll be safe. He's pretty broken imo, but not unbeatable as his grab is a bit wonky. ”
DrMoneybags says “Wait until he uses his W and then all-in with ignite! Stack damage and snowball like crazy. You shouldn't have much trouble at all with this matchup.”
kubsak26 says “He has no range and movement if you play correct he will not gonna hit you at all. But if he hit's you it gonna hurt alot. just poke him low and all in with ult. you have enough range to not let him farm at all. and don't worry about his sustain to much it will help you proc dark harvest more often.”
TheNinjaRoid says “A good Mordekaiser will destroy you. Ask for ganks if you need help. Get a Sheen, and Magic Resist and you'll be fine, as long as he isn't fed.”
Khazem says “One of the more difficult champions to deal with if you're not careful. Generally try to stay away from your own minions so he can't get free damage on you by using his W on them, go for early flat magic penetration and try to stop him from stacking up his shield too much. Never let him get in melee range as he does a ton of damage when he does.”
The Lost Drawing says “Es algo asi como un Darius. Te recomiendo que hagas los 'trades' solo cuando no tenga sus enfriamientos.
Pudes jugar con 'Conquitador' o 'Aliento del Agónico'
>>> Usa tu 'Q' para 'kitearle' como a Garen, y tu 'E' solo para 'stunearlo'”
LonerFKS says “almost the same as vladimir but he have the shielding which is annoying and even if he build full MS then your adc or jungler is the best chance of survival. Keep distance and poke him as much as you can ( if he pushes you run because the jungler could be lurking around)”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Built in sustain and shields, High burst damage on his Q, Poke. Weaknesses: Squishy without shields, No escapes. He has a decent early game with his shields and healing. With that being said, look for trades once he’s used his E (Siphon of Destruction) the cone shaped ability. This makes it so he can’t retaliate as efficiently when you go in for vital procs. If you have a level advantage or have your ultimate, you can chunk him down and sustain through his damage with your ultimate heal. As far as Riposting goes, use it on his Third Q auto attack because it does the most damage compared to the two autos prior. Either that or you could riposte before he starts up his Q so it takes him forever to get the damage off in the first place. Don't be afraid to ask for ganks as he has no escapes. Lastly, a Hexdrinker and Mercury's Treads would be good buys into him at least early game but I suggest only getting one or the other because both would be too much. Or you could build into Tiamat per usual.”
drunken hunter says “Watch out for his third auto hit (hurts badly) - play safe or else his dmg will rekt you. Try keeping the trades as quick as possible to prevent taing too many auto hits. ”
kkiskk says “He has no escape so let him push the wave and all-in him. Be sure not to fight him in your minion wave as his shield will be charged super fast by dealing damage to multiple enemies. Try to avoid his E poke . Kill the minion that has his W on ASAP.”
Daniloooo says “U have more range then him and your Q blinds his Q. After you see him use his Q use yours and you will block almost all his DMG. Watch out for his W cus it heals him so try to kite him away from minions and wait for it to go away. Mord has no CC or slow so he cant really chase you down.”
Sion says “Just don't fight him. He has no CC and no means of catching you. Let him shove you in and start farming then roaming later on. He can turn fights like it's nobody's business so once you see him picked just get it in your mind that you will 100% dive backline very fight as he cannot peel for them or engage on yours.”
TSA_Exotic says “I have only had this matchup a handful of times. With those, I have found a little trouble in being able to kill Morde because of his shields he generates for himself, forcing me to eventually back off because I'm no longer winning the fight. Be respectful of a Morde and poke when you can.”
SkullNatoR says “get 2 doran blade, berserker then wit's end. It's one of the very few matchups where you need the early mr asap, push the lane in early same you are better vs him in early game”
VdeathSpartan says “You're essentially boned. Dodge his abilities with Q and try your best to farm, if you get ganks you can get ahead. You can SOMETIMES kill him level 1 which will make the lane a lot easier but still a challenge.”
Predederp says “Morde has the weakest early game of any top laner from my opinion, so bully early game and try to snag a level 2 kill, after level 3-4 he will gain a powerspike and be able to duel you”
Trixelkour says “Deals damage , heals back the damage you deal and tap R to kill you. Get an early Adaptive/Banshee/Wits End (Wierd Flex but Okay) to deal a little more and take a little less. Poke with Grasp or move around with Phase Rush.”
heyitsRainex says “He outsustains you with his W heals and shields. Stack up your MR and try to stay in lane as long as possible until you can kill him with a gank.”
Aldebaran1918 says “Uuuuugh, he zones you way too much, he is a pusher and will kick you out of lane if you dont play well. Wait till level 6 and trade him only if your ult is up.”
SirDeRp25 says “Hes slow, Hes melee, His main source of damage is enhanced autoattacks. Block the 2nd and 3rd Q with Blind and you are good to go my friend!”
E61K says “Nobody plays this champion aside from die hard Mordekaiser OTP's. Can't tell much about him aside from baiting out his Q and forcing him use it on minions and then going in for trades. Obviously hexdrinker is the way to go here.”
undeadsoldiers says “Mordekaiser - Conqueror
Early items (in order) - Tiamat, Mercs, Phage
- NO all in lvl 1-2 (even if passive stacked)
- Play safe in lane lvl 1-5
- Play very safe in lane after lvl 6 (especially if he he is using us ult)
- Avoid his 3rd Q and play around his W cooldown
- Only trade when his shield is down (W increases his shield)
- You can all in him after you have Trinity (if his shield is down and he has no ult)
- Ult cooldown: 120/105/90
”
Zachlikespizza says “His E has a very similar range to your q, allowing him to out trade you. Just make sure you don't face tank his q or fight him while he's using his w. Despite being a very annoying person to lane against you should be able to come out ontop. Mr also helps here.”
Mouadyam says “start dorans shield, dont let him get free poke off of you, all inning him should be easy as he has no escapes, fighting him outside of a minion wave is ideal, just be careful for his R + ignite combo, and his healing. an executioner's calling is a good buy”
Demon Lord AC0 says “Morde does a lot of damage, you gotta mind and respect that. In lane, he will constantly try to poke you with his E and Harass you with his W, so you should start Doran's Shield. If you can manuever around his abilities you'll probably going to win. It's best to rush BORK for the sustain, and Merc Treads. If his healing is a problem you can rush Executioner's”
Skullsunderer says “He isn't see very often and can be weird to deal with because most people don't know what he does. Passive sheild, 3 hits extra damage, and some damage. Just poke out shield and kill him, he has absolutly no escape.”
DERPFISHrejects says “His lane phase is like yours without as much range or mobility. Fight him outside of his range if you can, and he will be completely unable to retaliate.”
galvapheonix says “ If they pick Mord, DONT PICK YORICK. He will beat you in nearly every way all game long. Unless he doesn't know what hes doing, this will be very difficult. You ghouls give him so much healing and he can 1 shot them as well. Just don't do it!!”
thedunkening111 says “Guy get's shields on shields on shields. It's impossible to burst him, his poke is mean, and his own burst can become ungodly. The good thing? You're definitely more useful than him. Stay safe, wait for JG, and it's a win.
Take Conqueror”

Tips Against Mordekaiser in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
SnowballBarrage says “Ungankable if he's level 6 unless already weakened. He can R you away from stealing or securing objectives which takes away the biggest pro to Nunu. ”
Suseri says “You win Level 1-2 after that try to only fight after 6 and Rageblade or with your jungler. Dodge his abilities with you movement or with your Q, they are very reactable. You can also dodge his R but it's one of the more on luck based moments also it won't change the outcome of your situation most of the time either so just try to dodge his Q or grab depending on his and your HP.”
Polarshift says “Get behind his Q or E to not take the damage. You should win till his first item if you're even. However, this champion is still broken into melee bruisers sadly, especially because of Conqueror and his passive.”
liserith says “I've seen people pull this off, so I'll include this here. Morde has a surprisingly healthy clear, and his early game is dangerously powerful. If you can avoid his E, you can easily kite him out, but post-6, watch out. His R takes you out of your R, and if you R during his R, it disappears as soon as his R ends. Super annoying.”
Rhoku says “The matchup goes similar to toplane. He beats you without ultimate, you beat him everywhere else. Just make sure to not get hit by his Qs when you are alone as you will get chunked out surprisingly quickly.”
TrainerPasty says “He can just R you in teamfights and since you suck at 1v1's you're pretty much as good as dead. You can't peel for your team anymore since you're stuck in the death realm.”
chiefdonut says “If you play top lane singed, you know his ult will wreck you. You cant run and he steals your stats. Don't engage him unless you know his ult is down, or if you are fed and can win the 1v1.”
classicnoob says “This guy useally builds A Shitload of DMG But no armour so you do counter him. Incase he builds Armour get a BT so you can have alot of Healing. Imo Hes not a big threat.”
KillyOne says “New Morde has been a strong top laner for a while and even tho he has no real gap closer, he is still difficult to deal with for Lillia. His passive has a range similar to your Q thus making it hard to kite Morde without taking damage. You can still outrun him with your Q passive.”
Luzyni says “YOU DO NO DAMAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, this is one of the characters that i really sate with all my soul, if this guide gets more than 5 voyes or views xd, maybe i will do my Hecarim guide, im World Top 1000 Hecarim, but he is not in the jungler meta, so i dont play a lot with him, back to Morde, dont do long trades, never,because of his passive try to dodge his e,q with your e, do a basic and q and run, if he gets you in his R, idk, only run or use your R or W, if you hate him like me, Ban Him, exterminate him.You can kill Him, but, if you gift a kill to him he will carry all the game. ”
D3str00 says “Gank him pre level 6, otherwise you can't do really anything when he is on full health. When you gank him, most likely you will get challenged on duel with him, which you can't really win, even if you will try to avoid his abilities properly.”
J4ck1902 says “This someone you don't wanna fight. He is tanky and deals a huge ammount of dmg. If you are in his ulti, good luck. You can survive with your R evolve, otherwise stay away from him accept you are fed an you are running Conqueror.”
briguy1109 says “Annoying until Bloodrazor. Has a chance of killing you until Rageblade at 16-22 minutes. Long story short, you can dodge his Q, and heal faster than he can damage you with basic attacks and passive. Don't waste QSS on his ult. It's free 300 gold.
”
Goku SSJ sensed your ener says “Only dangerous if fed, you should be able to beat him in his ult if you have good damage. If he's fed then you die. Gank him pre 6.”
0kruemlmonster says “If he ever ults on you, destroy him (if he's not too fed). If you 1v9 atm and have to carry your team and Morde tries to gives his team time to kill your teammates so you have to 1v5 after his Ult duration, get QSS.”
shaundasschaf says “Before 6, you can fight him. After 6 too, but if he ganks your low top laner while you're there too, ults and kills him, he can probably fight you because of the extra stats he gains.”
McDank says “He destroys you early game but if you can get past that without being killed by him, you can easily 1 v 1 him. You may want to take a null magic mantel to start. Wait until his abilities are on cooldown and be sure to clear out enemy minions before you engage him.”
Laverenz says “Mordekaiser is an easy gank for Skarner. He has no escape, but don't underestimate him. He can 2v1 level 3-7 easily. If you are behind, don't gank him.”
Yuki H. says “His only way of dueling you is landing his E and Qs, which could easily be dodged given Graves' kit. His clear speed is also not the fastest in the early game, and could be taken advantage of. QSS is also a great buy which cancels his ult.”
Jadiac5 says “if you dont charm him just leave and try again, if he ults you try to charm him and them kill him, if you dont have time for the charm use W and just full attack him adn then ult to the direction of your base to try to run, if you kill him without ult, watch out for his greedy teammates and use your ult if you see any fed ones or are low after the fight to get out of there.”
pixelhidef says “Either on Top or Jungle, he's trouble.
Try not to solo against him and rely on him to always take out someone in a fight with his Ult.”
Kocykek says “Morde is... Idk. Sometimes he can be strong but sometimes not. Most of the times he's even to Blitz but sometimes he is just too slow. You can easily outplay him with your attacks beacause he don't really attack too fast.”
New Player says “Quite tanky and plays rather evenly against Cho'Gath. Close-ranged 1v1 is not ideal unless you have an Adaptive Helmet and enough damage to counter his hp regeneration or spell vamp.
The main problem is his new ultimate, which you can thankfully mostly counter with Quicksilver Sash.”
rektyoukido says “Be carefull of mordekaiser when he gets his ult you are very strong against him early game but when he gets ult u are pretty much dead in a 1v1 ”
programmingkitten says “The point of that strat is to get more than 8k hp. Yea but more hp you got more morde will destroy you. No matter how magic resist you got. He will always win. ”

Tips Against Mordekaiser in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Yasukeh says “In this matchup, New morde is a complete stat check champion. You are either stronger than he is, or you aren't. You should win this most of the time if you are even, and it's fairly easy to gank him pre 6. Post 6, he is very hard to gank as he can just ult one person and make it a 1v1. Think about saving spin so you can dodge his pull, as that's his strongest ability. ”
Gtoxer says “Feitiço de invocador: Ignite ou exaust.
1)Comece com escudo de doran.
2)tente irrita ele no inicio do jogo
3)a parti do nivel 3 cuidado com as trocas.
4)não faça uma troca com ele se ele tive ult.
5)tente desvia do Q dele, e talvez você possa agressiva.”
Dr Eggmund says “Mordekaiser is near impossbile to kill, with a great shield, great poke at no cost a decent pull and a ALMOST CERTAIN kill with his ultimate, Morde is a high threat to Vladimir. The plan is to poke with empowered Q and try to dodge his Qs. When he's 6 and ults up you must be cautious at all costs.”
Impossible2Gank says “Can be annoying to deal with since he can shove out waves reliably. Bait him to your side so your jungle can gank before he gets out of control. Also it helps to put boxes all over so you can lure him to them before coming out of his ult and don't forget you can still give commands to your clone from the inside. Magic resist is recommend early.”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Beats you in sidelane
- Way too tanky for you to kill
- Out sustain-damages you
- You're a very easy target for him to R in fights, he always beats you.
- If laning vs morde do the following:
- Look for short trades and disengage before he can proc his passive and run you down
- if he is low enough wait for him to waste his W
- if he uses his W to heal himself when low, you can try to kill him”
Scyrine says “A lot of people have trouble against morde becuase of his 3 hits that give him AOE damage. I would say wait for lvl 3 and hard engage him after hitting a E. You outdamage him, and Lvl 6 you can outdamage him also. Avoid his Qs and if you're really having trouble rush QSS.”
SpartanDumpster says “The only top match up I'll mention because based off my experience, I think Yone flat out counters Morde! It feels like there's very little that Morde can do in this match up if you play it right. He lacks much of any way to follow up against Yone, as long as you're in your E, if he pulls you towards him, activates his passive, you recalling to your body creates a gap that Morde just can't close and he'll get the least out of his passive activating. Throughout the early game at least, it's pretty easy for the shield your W gives you to completely block the damage from his Q. There just isn't much he can do against your engage.
I don't know how much they changed how Morde's ult works against Yone's E. It used to be that if Morde ults you, just E twice and you'll get out of it. I tried this a little bit ago and it didn't work. It could work that if you're already in Spirit form, and Morde ults your spirit, you can press E and get out of it.
Of course, even the hardest match ups can be turned around in some way if you're good enough, so don't treat Mordekaiser like an automatic win.”
Noodles912 says “His lack of movement is the only advantage you got against him. Use E for his Q only. Use Q if he uses E, and get out immediately if he procs passive. Hide if he uses ult. Look to roam. PTA is a must.”
Rauschel says “He is a Tank and even though he heals himself you can potentually get 1 or 2 kills in laning phase. Using your E in his Death Realm makes you very annoying for him escaping him like its nothing. But still he can kill you if you have a badd spot in the Realm.”
FalleN3 says “Harass him when his shield is low as without it he's pretty squishy. Farm as much as you can and ask your Jungler for some help to get ahead early and snowball.”
Aikairi says “Get QSS for this guy and just dodge his E and Q using your Shunpo and W. However, if you don't have QSS when he ultis you, he counters you hard since you are transported to a different "realm" and your daggers are on the ACTUAL realm. This means that your daggers on the ground will be gone.”
ReapeRGP says “He is tanky so level 2 and 3 you can't even do much damage to him and he can push you with his E and Q, and that takes a lot of your hp! If his R is on and he is close then dont waste your E, as you'll need it to survive the arena.”
OxiteoMyst says “If you have good movement its a easy matchup until level 6. If you get ulted you're probably dead unless you land a W stun or have zhonyas. If you manage to survive continue to kite him to safety.”
WolfRider01 says “Unless the morde is absolutely dumb, you will likely lose this lane. Ask for ganks, play back. Avoid his passive and his E whenever possible. If you're gonna get bonked with his Q, make sure you're in the minion wave, as it will do less damage due to hitting more targets.”
S4V4 says “Skill match up. If he is going for more AP than tanky build, shieldbow is go to. If he is going full tank, you will want Kraken Slayer in your build. Make sure to dodge his Qs as much as possible, same stands for his E.”
arekij says “If he get Rylai you cant fight with him because he slows you too much and you are vulnerable on ganks.
If he build Dead Mans Plate just avoid fights 1v1 with him.”
Bobbab says “Mordekaiser is a weird matchup. His ult can remove daggers, but in lane he isn't that bad to face. Later on he just needs to ult to kill you no matter how fed you are. So get qss if you want to avoid those situations”
1Recycle Bin1 says “take conqueror, make sure his W is down before you go all in, and harass with your autos, *start doran's shield then get 2 long swords*”
Lunasta says “You can outplay him by avoiding his abilities with your W, if you're having any kind of difficulties with him play safe and play smart, build QSS to get out of his ult and way for a gank”
FalleN3 says “He is strong early game which is the point that you struggle at. He can harass you with his (E) + (Q) combo throughout laning phase which can make it very difficult for you to farm. Play safe, farm as much as you can. If you can manage to solo kill him, great. If not, call for jungler help to secure a kill. Roam and look for picks in other lanes until you can 1v1 him.”
Ambience14 says “Morde is absolutely dumpstered by Mundo if you know the basics of playing against him. Dodge his E and stay out of his passive. Congrats, you won lane. He's one of the few mid laners that usually can't shove Mundo in, meaning you can poke him with Q easily. Take short trades and get out before his passive starts draining your HP. Eventually, he'll likely get impatient and ult you. As soon as he does, hit R and go all-in. You can easily kill him in 7 seconds, using his ult to your advantage. You typically don't need to buy a QSS, but if he keeps ulting you for the express purpose of keeping you out of teamfights, it's probably worth it.”
GetMeOldDiana says “He has more cc, more damage, much more shield, he has a better engage and he can press a single button and fuck your engage. Late game, if he doesn't have mr you insta win. I don't think that Mordekaiser doesn't build mr.”
u fool says “Mordekaiser is another very tanky champion. You want to avoid him because you can not burst him down easily. In general, when playing Pyke, avoid tanks.”
Fadedreformed says “Pretty even if you dont die pre 6 avoid getting hit by his e or else you are probably gonna die . Short trades with q w e just to prock electrocute are optimal”
Veralion says “HoB/DH, Sword/Dark seal. So this is an obnoxious unstoppable meatball of a champion right now. He's stat checky garbage that you can't ever beat without a hell of a lead. Thing is, you don't actually ever have to fight him. Just farm and scale up. Burnout should be able to get you out of his claws. Remember that his Q deals double damage to single targets like Karthus Q, so hide in your wave while you go up to farm. HoB will hurt him quite a bit but not enough to trade through his absurd shield, so if your jungle matchup is favorable it's an option to assist him in killing Mord early. A carefully timed ult can cancel his, so watch for him to point his big stick at you and press R if you've got the reflexes. The ability cannot affect an unstoppable target and as such will fail. AP can't duel him unless you're significantly ahead, so you really don't want to be forced into it. A tankier on hit build does not have this issue however, so it may be worth going Conqueror and rushing Merc's/Wit's end to gain priority and kill him if he ever tries to fight you (if your team comp allows for it, that is).”
RikudouDovahkiin says “Mordekaiser is a monster, terrible knight of underworld, who can block serious bursts with his shield, a shield recovering by damaging enemies with his skills. Something like Knight Enchanter in Dragon Age 3, without kiting you would be probably dead at every stage of the game, because he is a better tank, and even as a sustain monster his shield will protect against your at least 1 or 2 skills and this shield will be fully recovered in a few seconds. Try to snowball him, his low mobility is his biggest weakness in every phase of the game. Use this against him, and do not let him land his 3rd Q which is deadly.”
Defensivity1 says “just like irelia but then he can draw you towards him with his e guaranteeing his q to hit you and his w is a huge shield be extremely carefull.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “High Minor
Basically same as lux, but instead it's E
You outrange him and you can kite him in death realm so he can't exactly take you down alone, his only hope is to roam.”
snukumz says “Pretty easy matchup, just make sure you dodge his E and you'll be fine.
Be careful once he hits 6 since he can ult you and kill you.
Your passive makes you good at melting him.
Punish him with poke and combo's when he goes to last hit minions.”
GrayRiver says “"He is strong early game which is the point that you struggle at. He can harass you with his (E) + (Q) combo throughout laning phase which can make it very difficult for you to farm. Play safe, farm as much as you can. If you can manage to solo kill him, great. If not, call for jungler help to secure a kill. Roam and look for picks in other lanes until you can 1v1 him." FalleN3”
only yasuo play says “Dodge his q and e with your e.
Don't take long all ins, take short trades when you have passive shield with e q.
You can buy quicksilver sash for morde's R.”
PepeOnDrugs says “He is strong early game which is the point that you struggle at. He can harass you with his (E) + (Q) combo throughout laning phase which can make it very difficult for you to farm.

GrayRiver says “"This champ is a monster.. His Conqueror and his Kit in general are unfightable as Pyke.. When hes ulting you try to play for time. E away and W somewhere !" DasGrauen_”
lRusu says “You can never go electrocute vs Mordekaiser, look to go conqueror with a zhonyas. You use all your abilities during his ult then zhonyas so you have your conqueror stacks and then zhonyas pops off and you q e into him so you potentially dodge his q. You're not looking to kill him, just out last him. (REQUIRED ITEMS: ZHONYA + MORELLO)”
forever0lp says “Tough matchup but its winnable. Avoid his Q and E as much as possible even when it means losing CS. If he misses both of those don't be afraid to be aggressive - E + Q is a good way to trade. Rushing wit's end in this matchup is a good idea as it will give you enough MR and damage to trade with him equally. Otherwise proceed with standard Berserkers > Triforce build. Don't get close to him post 6 as he will ult and whoop your buttocks. If you bait his ult near your tower it will be a wasted R for him as enemy towers damage Morde even inside his ult. Similar to Sett after you get berserkers + trinity you will be a bigger threat to him than he is to you (unless you fed him kills during laning), but nonetheless you should still respect his ult. Against very aggresive Morde players you should buy some sort of magic resist on your first back (like spectres cowl) or rush Wit's End as it is an amazing item against iron revenant.”
Zephorgames says “Okay so, take Wit's end or BRK, her passif f**k you without life steal and dmg lol.
let him push and lv3, ping your jungler for help, good luck !”
Gageowago says “Stay as far away from him as possible and poke him. You can juke him out in his ult with your own to avoid dying but his team will most likely be waiting for you when you come out. Just dodge his skillshots in lane and poke him and you should win lane.”
erickexe96 says “Mordekaiser is not much of a threat in this situation because Mordekaiser usually plays Top-Lane, even though Akali can play top, matchups such as Darius, Mordekaiser and Garen can struggle Akali with their high sustain, damage and some type of CC”
Kami_EU says “Before Wit's End he'll come out on top in most sustained trades, unless you trade perfectly dodging his Q's, AA's and E's .
In later stages of the game, especially after you purchase Wit's End you will win trades even if he clips you with a couple of his Q's.
”
kujosrevenge says “You can hard stomp Mord pre-6 if you bait his Q and E, but disengage when he gets his passive. You can easily kill Mord 1-2 times early game, but like Katarina, it's best not to fight him after level 6 as he will just ult and out-sustain you hard.”
Nathanator says “Mordekaiser is just a stupid, op champ overall, just to try dodge his abilities, and you should be able to win. Go for short trades, ignite when you are going to all in.”
Gogicha55 says “Mordekaiser mid isn't that common anymore but some people still play it and he's pretty good against talon, you can kill him early on cuz you outdamage him but when he gets seekers armguard you won't be able to burst him and he will probably kill you, just shove and roam or kill him early on and bully him even more”
NikiBr0 says “Mordekaiser is your nightmare in lane. You barely even touch the farm without being poked or all ined by him. Don't trade with him, he can punish you easily. Play safe!”
Dgraider says “If you're not ahead, he'll win every trade into you. Start dshield/comet into him so at least you can have a bigger impact in teamfights”
GESTAPOisHERE says “Mordekaiser is easy to beat, but be careful of his pull and Q's. If you can dodge them all with your E, bait him out and your ultimate will shred his armor.”
Braddik says “he wins long trades, dodge his abilities and try to take short trades. You might want to stack magic pen as he gets very tanky. if he ults you you probably die”
teekayem says “Beats you at all stages of the game. More damage, more survivability, and he *wants* you to jump on him. Your only counterplay here--assuming the Morde is good--is enlisting jungle help and maximising roam efficiency.”
ZEDORSON says “Mordekasier after rework is one of the hardest enemies for Zed. He has high damage and his W (shield) is obstacle for Zed. Rush Quicksilver slash in early vs his ultimate. And Executioner with ingite will help you too vs his healing from W. Don't trade with im to much on melee range. Always poke him with Q over minions, when you are under your turret. You cna use WEQ combo too.”
Garybaldo says “Run Phase Rush, your abilites have enough range to kite him, try and trade with only E+P+W, only get near him to throw a Q whenever you're ulting or he used his Q/E, when you do have your ult you'll have enough speed to dodge his Q melee range (get to his back)”
Sneaky boi says “He's AP darius. He can poke you with his Q and E early and his pasive will always outrade you. After 6 build [[Quicksilver sash]] and you should not get killed. Try to poke with Q or E if he misses abilities or used his W.”
ShuUis says “Oh yeah Bring Conquerer and its and easy lane. just need to kite with your Q and Passive Autos really well, and you are looking to catch this juggernaut off guard!”
baldmidget says “Skill matchup
1.Make sure to always move forward and wiggle to dodge his q and e( if you sit behind = gg15)
2.Make sure to always stay in you're minion wave ,so you dont get his q isolated damage.
3.Focus on killing him, then roam”
Euphoric Toaster says “Mordekaiser is a very polarizing lane. Sometimes you'll dumpster them, other times they will dumpster you. I think if the Mord player is actually really experienced, its an easy lane for them. They should be negating most of your poke with their healing and shielding and just shoving you in and scaling. Mord is still pretty vulnerable early as he is immobile so hes vulnerable to ganks and still can possibly be bursted down through his shield. ”
KadiusFTW says “A relatively easy fight, sense your Q slows so easily and Mordekaiser's abilites are short ranged in comparison to a lot of other champions.”
Vispectra says “Big ouch this is not a fun lane. For now I can't really say how to exactly play against this guy, he will lock you in R , out damage you with his passive and has a W that makes him a lot tankier and harder to deal with.”
RagexAddict says “Mordekaiser can give you a lot of issues in the laning phase due to having:
1. 0 mana costs
2. A shield that gets bigger the more dmg he gives and takes
3. Healing
4. A way to isolate the two of you and finish you off.
He's pretty beefy but if you take him on early and all in him while dodging his Q and E, you can win with no problem. Bear in mind that this lane will not be a walk in the park.”
Jenkinsu says “Pizza Feet hurts, but he can't do much to you if you play safe. Go for pokes when you can, but be wary of going up to your wave to farm.”
Junix L9 says “You don't have enough damage to burst him down he will just getting more shields.
Just wait for your jungler, together you can take him down.”
