you are building ap morde and you have defensive runes and masteries (shame on you), you also need survability if you are going ap you are going to need spell vamp or at least 1 defensive item

#1: The build is bad
#2: Did you use only the recommended topics?
#3: No images of items, your guide is too much text.

NO, NO, NOOOOO.

HEALTH IS BAD.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BUILT IN SPELL VAMP IN THE ENTIRE GAME, YOU DO NOT BUILD MAXIMUM HEALTH, YOU BUILD RESISTS.

Now that i'm done raging, CDR makes Mordekaiser one of the most powerful tanks in the game, without any real tank items.

Yes Magic Pen is great, but any more than 50 or so is useless, and it's easy enough to get 40% CDR AND 50 or so Magic Penetration.

Basically, all Mordekaisers should build an Abyssal Scepter, and all mordekaisers should also build a Frozen Heart, or a similar CDR item. (Morello's, Nashor's, DFG something like that.)

Rylai's is a bad item, The slow isn't sufficient to be better than a more offensive item like Abyssal, or a more defensive item, like... oh wait... abyssal.

TL;DR: Morde doesn't need health.

I like the idea of the build, but the fact that you stack almost no health is a real downer for me. Mordekaiser's resource is health, so naturally, you want a substantial amount of it. Modekaiser is usually always targeted early due to the belief that he is both face-roll and overpowered. I think that you need to rethink your purpose and change this build a little bit. I would cut the CDR and get magic pen. I would also consider not maxing Creeping Death first because maxing the other two skills has always proved more consistent for me in the past. You might also want to add a Rylai's Crysat Scepter. Check out my Vlad and Karthus builds up today!!!

If you can't play Mordekaiser without a load of health, you're doing something wrong.

there needs to be a ryjals crystal in this build to at least get some sort of health, I just can't play morde without it and i've tryed this build and if you wanted to do hi-dps morde ap why wouldn't you get at least a hextex blade and lich bane.

lol.. this is bad

No, Mordekaiser doesn't need health.

But this build is still too squishy to be effective.

this isnt a bad build idea when you are playing with a premade group but with randoms its is situational at best
it really makes morde hit hard but not live long (imo)

I don't like the build because it's just waaay to squishy to play mordekaiser this way. For siphon of destruction you must be close to your target to use it effectively, not leveling this skill can be a disaster. I see that you probably want to put creeping death on the tank when the fight stats but honestly apart from that you will be useless. You will only have 2k HP since mordekaiser doesn't have a lot of base health ( hence a lot of players get health quints for him and seals of vitality ).

I do not think this will ever work for mordekaiser because you get destroyed by mostly everything.
His skills require you to be close to the target and with a more tanky build you bring much more to teamfights, also this skill doesn't help out with the fact that mordekaiser loses HP when he uses an ability by not getting a hextech revolver. This build is in general not really great and I can say that even advanced players will fail with this.

I played Mordekaiser a lot and in my ranked games at ~ 1300 ELO I have 25 wins and 10 loses with mordekaiser resulting in a winrate of 71% so I know how he should be played ( I didn't fall below 1160 ELO once ) and I can conclude that this isn't a good build. It looks more like a vladimir build then a Mordekaiser build .

So yeah if you like to play like this I can recommend you to play Vladimir because he does about the same things that you are trying to achieve with this build ( but this build makes it a LOT harder.

In general nice try , but in general Mordekaiser needs health if he wants an AP build ( usually you get some health early on so giant's belt into rylai's is a good choice for a possible Off tank AP mordekaiser , you just can't play him full AP ) .

My elo isn't great, but I play with a lot of high skilled players, usually beta players.

I'm slowly working on refining this guide and will definitely be adding images and also in-depth reasoning for my choices of runes/masteries/summoner spells and items.

Concerning how to play, for now I'll leave that up to my replays. I'll post more when I get the time :)
