Very hard match-up depending on how good your opponent is. Always rush Steelcaps first so you can get into his space and ALWAYS punish him if he dashes into you by pulling him next to you and you should just win if you can do that. You cannot play scared vs this champion or you will int you need to fight him all in if he dashes towards you at full hp
Shen
Shen can only kill you at levels 1-2 so be mindful of his sword, after level 2 you just start auto-winning, and at 6 even if you are 3 kills behind you still win. This is possibly Mordekaisers best matchup
Singed
Singed is another easy champ for you, You can only die if you chase him and eat too much fart juice for no reason. Other than that don't let him get proxy tempo on you and the matchup is free, If you want you can take ghost
Akshan
Give cs and stay healthy until level 3 because he can just dash onto you pre-3 and beat you, But if you just get the minion exp and give the gold once you hit e just pull him in and sit on top of him so he can't swing away and you should be fine, At 6 you stomp him, Rush Steelcaps
Olaf
Very hard counter early game, You can beat him at level 3 if you poked him beforehand but at full hp, he just beats you try to freeze on him and pull him under tower other than that go zhonya's second because it completely cancels out his R and then you can ult him right after. If he doesn't ever r you just win, if he does use Zhonya's then reverse ult him and you should win. But pre Zhonya's you can't win sadly if you fight him fairly, Rush Steelcaps
Lillia
Lillia is a very big pest and can kite you easily but once you hit 6 if you have ghost you should be able to just catch her and kill her early game is a snooze fest though, unless you can hit her with E's
Quinn
Pre 6 just try to farm from afar with q+e and try not to take too much poke, If you are able to pull her in mid vault you pretty much just kill her (it's very hard to do) but after 6 just ult her with ghost and kill her for free, The only way you don't kill her at 6 is if you miss most of your abilities, Rush Steelcaps
Garen
This match-up is pretty easy but you can lose, Basically when he goes to Q you can reply with an E which if aimed right always hit because he is stuck in an animation and once he is behind you just chase him down you have better stats than him so just walk into him, At 6 matchup becomes free
Illaoi
Try to kill her Pre-6 since you beat her usually as long as you dodge her test of spirit (E) and whoever ults first loses, so hold your R for after hers, and it's usually free, Rush Steelcaps
Warwick
Just don't fight him early, You can q poke him but just don't fight him early it's not really worth the effort since his Q and R can cancel your R. You out scale him tremendously so it's not really worth throwing your game early by fighting, Probably Rush Steel caps or leeching leer (if he doesn't have barrier)
Neeko
She is gonna poke you super hard all you can really do is cop it, Try to farm with E + Q until 6 Then ult her and kill her, Take ghost btw
Trundle
He will bully you to the next dimension pre 6 you can't beat him at all unless you can poke him to about half hp, At 6 though you can win if you hit everything try to save your R for after he R's you so that you get more value from the stolen stats, Rush Steelcaps
Sejuani
Piss easy match-up if you are never ganked you can't really die solo to her unless you are down like 3 levels and down 3k gold at 15 mins, just be careful because she has very strong gank set up so be wary of jglers but after 6 if you get ganked it's usually a double kill for you
Urgot
Urgot will beat you levels 1-2 if he hits you with his Disdain (E) so be careful of that but after level 3 you just win till urgot gets 3-4 items, He does out scale you so you need to win early if you're scared of him in lane build wardens mail first (I personally don't think you need it to win but if you have it you can't lose until late game), Rush Steelcaps
Wukong
You just out stat this champ and stomp him if you ever hit E, Be careful about R'ing his clone because you will lose the fight if you do also the only time he can beat you is at Divine Sunderer if you miss a lot of your abilities, Rush Steelcaps
Heimerdinger
Don't fight him pre 6 you will not win unless you pull him in and then flash dodge his stun grenade (E), But at 6 if you ever hit E it's usually free, you can ghost into this guy if you want
Sion
You blatantly counter Sion, Your max hp on your passive makes it so that even if he has 10k hp you still 1v1 him, His champion is super weak in lane, The only thing you need to watch out for is that he can block your R with his R because it makes him unstoppable
Darius
This champion is the early game version of Mordekaiser, But don't be scared if he doesn't go, Maw of Malmortius first item which he probably won't assuming he is below Master, At Riftmaker you just poo in his mouth assuming you aren't behind as long as you hit most of your skill shots, but even pre 6 you can beat him if you poke him down to about 65% with good q spacing but it's just easier to try to out scale him. Also if he freezes on you early ping your jgler if your jgler doesn't come you have no counterplay and just have to sit in exp range don't try to ego break the wave you will die, Full hp 1v1 pre 6 = unwinnable, Rush Steelcaps
Malphite
You can't lose you are literally the dictionary definition of Malphite's counter, You are tanky so he can't poke/one shot you, and you have high sustained max hp magic damage you can't lose this 1v1 even 2v1 you should win depending on the enemy jgler
Dr. Mundo
In Straight all-ins, you will beat him at all stages of the game past level 2 but he will probably stone wall the lane and just q farm but you out scale him unless they have 4 hyper ranged champion with Mundo so it's okay
Udyr
As long as you hit your abilities which is easy on Udyr since he needs to stand next to you to do anything you win every time at every stage past level 2
Yorick
Your champion counters bad Yorick players so pre-master this is a good match up but good Yorick players will beat you. Basically, pre 6 as long as he doesn't have 3+ ghouls you will win every trade and past 6 if he ever uses W (his wall) instantly ult him, and if you hit your stuff you will beat him. The problem is that when you vs good Yoricks they will max w second and hold it which means if you ever ult him he will W you and run away so you can't really ever kill him r and at 6 if you don't ult Yorick beats you if you miss e, Rush Steelcaps
Fiora
Basically, in low elo I think match-up is actually good for Mordekaiser because they can't parry anything and if they waste parry you can beat her. But the higher up you the more unplayable it is to vs Fiora, if you ever R she can parry it easily same with your e. I perma ban this champ, You will need zhonyas into her and gargoyles so that her max hp true dmg doesnt kill you in one second. Rush Steelcaps
Viktor
Take ghost you can't kill him pre-6 unless he is bad and walks up, But at 6 it's free
Kayle
A good kayle player can beat you pre 6 if she dodges your abilities but in general when vs this champ, Try to freeze on her and bully her when she walks up. You get disgustingly out scaled by her but if you take ghost you can run her down with R early to midgame if you hit your abilities. Rush Steelcaps
Tryndamere
levels 1-2 he will stomp you, Once you get to level 3 you can't all in him but you can short trade with him unless he has no fury then you just beat him, At 6 it gets rough, You need to hold your e for when he uses Undying Rage (R) and then use it to push him off you, and try to maintain a distance where he can't hit you but you close enough to finish him off when his R expires, Also rush Steelcaps and wardens if you're behind, if he is at a point where he can just dive you just go Zhonya's first item and Riftmaker second
Volibear
The second you get behind this champion you will just chain int and feed while getting full hp tower dove, but it's hard for him to get a lead on you by himself early game because as long as you don't fight him you will out-scale him, try to freeze on him and pull him under tower pre 6 and save ignite for when he is low hp. but be careful cause he does absurd levels of dmg early game, Rush Steelcaps
Pantheon
play safe level 1-2, once you get level 3 if he ever jumps on you while he is mid-air use your e to pull him behind you and just run him down match gets easier the longer the game goes, At 6 its free just try not to let him poke you with his Q, Rush steelcaps
Teemo
A good Teemo will usually beat you because of his w move speed making it very hard to hit skill shots but if you ever hit him with E just r him and he will die almost everytime. Can take ghost
Riven
If the Riven uses her abilities to dodge yours you will probably lose, But most Rivens even in Master+ don't do this so the match-up is winnable if you hit her with your abilities you will win. Something you should look out for is when she is in her Third Q animation (The one that knocks you up) use your e and it will hit almost every time if you aim it right and then if she is behind you. R her and run her down, Rush Steelcaps
Poppy
Try to force all-ins with her unless you have a full W shield up she Will win short trades, at 6 try to flash her r if you are going to kill her, You can ghost if you want to play for late game, But she has a stroing laning phase so be careful, You hard out scale her and rush Steelcaps
Zac
Zac does a suprisingly high amount of damage so try not to get caught off guard, But just q poke him and hold your E for whenever he just to jump onto you, Like most champs if you pull them behind you usually just R them and you win if you hit most of your abilites
Cho'Gath
This guy will out trade you level 1-2, but once you get your W you can freely just walk into him and take any trades and you're probably going to win, His Q is super easy to dodge so just sidestep it and if he ever walks up past 6 you usually just kill him if you hit E
Ornn
Try to pressure him early and poke him out with constant Q's if you get him to 30% hp and have ignite you can probably just dive him, But if Ornn plays safe its very hard to kill him so the goal of this match up is to freeze on him pre 6 and kill him if he walks up, But once you hit 6 perma push into him and ward river trying to attract the enemy Jungler's attention as you can probably 2v1 them, If the enemy jgler is botside though, After every wave you push walk into his jg and take a camp or two or even Rift Herald, This will slowly get you a huge exp/gold lead for you take over mid game, try to win bvefore Ornn scales though
Sylas
This is basically a full skill match up in lane but you outscale him, basically if you hit your abilities you will win with ingite, But with his dash he can easily dodge your Q or E and force a winning trade for himself, If he gets a lead on you the becomes terrible, But if you can reach 6 and your even or ahead its usually free. Even if he can steal the stats back by stealing your R you force him into all inning you if you R him and he only wants to do short trades, If you are behind build a Negatron cloak
Vladimir
You can consider taking ghost ignite into vlad But flash ignite is fine, But pre 6 you wont be kill him 1v1 unless you can hit a couple E's on him and he is bad a sidestepping, But at 6 if you hit e into 6 its almost alwasy a kill if you hit abilities and ignite him before he heals off his r or empowered q
Vayne
Take ghost and rush Steelcaps, This champ beats you at everystage of the game if played well but lucky for you most Vayne players are terrible and will waste their roll for nothing so if you r her and ghost run up to her wait for her to use tumble and then throw your abilities you should be fine early, but sadly a 2 item Vayne if played well enough will beat a 4+ item Morde, Zhonya's is good into her if you aren't trying to kill her and just trying to not die to her dmg but if you Zhonya's she will just get to re space vs you for free
Sett
Sett pre 6 will beat your ass in a straight 1v1, But you can beat him if you q poke him and use your e to pull him behind you when he uses w so you dodge all the dmg, But if you fight him fairly at all pre 6 it wont even be close. At 6 you can win 1v1 as long as he doesnt hit the true damage on his w so flash dodge it but do a late flash so he doesn't follow you with his flash, Also dont r him if he is in melee range of you try to push him away with your e first because he can use his R to go unstoppable and block your R which will make you lose 100%, You hard outscale him so just rush tabis and see what you can do
Yone
A good Yone is hard to fight and has lots of potential to outplay you But most Yone's are bad. Pre 6 DO NOT ALL IN HIM AT FULL HP even if it looks like you are winning his lethal tempo will prove you otherwise and you will become depressed. at level 1-2 try to poke him and sidestep his 3rd q, at level 3 when you have W you can force longer trades but not all ins just until he has broken your W then back off, At 6 try to poke to around 80% hp then if you hit an e on him just R him and if you hit your most of your abilities it should be free, By the way when he uses R chuck your q behind you because he will alwasy spawn behind you if he hits his R. Finally rush Steelcaps and wardenmail and you should be good
Camille
This match up is more Mordekaiser favoured because if she ever E's into you as long as you aren't behind her in gold/exp you will win every time even if you miss alot of abilites not too many though, at 6 its free if you hit an E. Now the problem is that she will just play safe into you and wait for jg help since her champ has such busted set up but if you dont get behind early you usually should be able to trade 1 for 1 at least at 6, Rush Steelcaps
Kennen
Take ghost, Play safe till 6 farm with e+q, once your 6 if you poke him abit with Q and hit E just ghost and R him and it should be free, you can rush mercs but only if they have only 2 or less ad champs
Nasus
Just freeze on him and he cant play the game if he goes E max Nasus though you can freeze so just push into him and poke the shit out of him, if he stays under tower while super low you can try to dive him but its a bit dangerous with his R giving him alot of hp/mr/armour. Laning phase is easy but he can out scale you very easily if you let up the pressure
Swain
Pre 6 is kinda annoying but he doesnt have much mana/dmg so its pretty to easy to tank it and if you hit e you can slap him up since his movespeed is so low, once you hit 6 you just roll him over if you hit e with ignite he dies pretty easily
Rengar
you have to give alot of cs vs this champ early game, dont fight him pre 6 you will probably lose unless you already have an advantage, Rush Steelcaps, Also never ever R him if he hasn't used an empowered ability in the fight yet because his empowered W will cleanse your R like gp oranges, But once you get Steelcaps/leeching leer or Steelcaps/Wardens mail you should win a fight to death if he doesnt outplay you with brushes
Cassiopeia
Don't fight this champ ever pre level 3 , She will beat you in melee range level 1-2 even at 3 unless you dodge her Q she will beat you even if you hit everything, At 6 you can beat her if you dodge her r stun which they usually do when they get hit by your E, So if you dont have the reaction when you hit her E do a micro look back and you'll probably dodge it in low elo.
If you get behind her just go Negatron Cloak and you should be ok, can run ghost into this champ but ignite is also rly good
Kled
Just avoid fighting level 1-2 completely, If you get behind or lose too much hp you will be dove and you will want to afk, But if you survive till 6 and hit your abilities you should win or if when you're level 3 if you play around Your W you can win short trades, usually early game if he remounts while fighting you you will lose. But once you get to 2 items if you are even you can just walk into him and win Rush Steelcaps
Renekton
At level 1 try to poke him with Q's and use your auto attack range advantage to get free auto's on him when he goes to build fury on minions or when he goes to last hit, however don't trade auto attacks with him directly because his aa + Q is better than yours early but your aa+q is better than just his aa, this matter alot becuase if you build a hp lead on him before level 2 and you both hit 2 around the same time when he dashes onto you pull him beack behind you and if you have a hp lead and he has E+Q you will beat him all in, However if he doesnt dash on you DON'T go near him his empowered W ( his stun is his W) will destroy you, Once you hit level 3 you cannot use your W ever unless he has no fury or has used empowered W because you will instantly lose. Bottom line try to Q poke him when you can, If he dashes onto you pull him behind you while he is mid W animation (if he used W) then use your W and force the all in. If he didnt use W and he is behind you try to just walk away and take the winning trade. Rush Steelcaps, even though i have put this down as a hard match up i almost never lose to renekton once you get used to it it's pretty easy
Jax
Other than fiora this is your worst match up by far, untill you get Riftmaker he beats you in short trades and all ins if you ever miss one Ability, Try to Q poke him level 1, level 2 dont go near him at all but at level 3 you can fight him if you have a full W shield But if he jumps onto you with his Counterstike up try to pull him behind you this will make him miss the stun and then if you have W you can usually just beat him in an all in, Good Jax's will dodge this though but it works in sub master almost everytime, Try to freeze on him it's the only postion in the lane where you have the advantage, But even though its very hard to get a lead if you do, match ups free and you can just poke him to oblivion and roll him, When you see jax just know you're in for a rough one. Rush Steelcaps
Maokai
It's free your kit is designed to beat these champs if you lose 1v1, you fucked up tremendously
Gragas
Gragas will just stonewall the lane you can poke him with abilites and try to kill him if you get him low but his high sustain makes it hard also dont get flung undertower into cc locked, go d-Shield
Irelia
Pre 6 if she ever has control over the wave don't go near her you will die if she has full stacks, Without stack if you dodge her stun you will win everytime if you hit your abilites and there are no minions to dash to, When you hit 6 though if you are even you will always beat her if you hit your abilities, She will probably build Blade of the Ruined King first item which is good for you because Mordekaiser counters that item, Just save your W for the lastest you can use it then Blade will do no damage to you since its based on current hp and she will not be able to break your Wbefore you kill her, Just rush Steelcaps and play safe around her pre 6
Graves
If you ever hit E force a big trade on him, Rush Steelcaps and if you r him while you have Steelcaps he should just die if you hit your Abilities
Akali
This is a stonewall matchup, whoever plays the most aggressive is most likely to lose, just poke her with Q's and take the free scaling lane since you hard outscale her, If she starts getting frisky with you dont be scared to fight her, since if you hit your abilties and trigger passive you will probably beat her its just hard to do with her invis/mobility, In this lane i usually take a sclaing hp rune and mr rune, If you get behind don't be alarmed just go Negatron Cloak and you will probably just beat her
Karma
The is a Cringe match up she will just poek the shit out of you, try to poke her to like 80% hp and then r her you might kill her but you have to hit everything just a real boring lane not much you can do, if she plays safe you actaully cant kill her, but its similar for you its hard for her to kill you unless you eat 70% of her Q's
Gnar
Take ghost and rush Steelcaps, pre 6 there isnt rly much you can do sadly other than poke him but he can alwasy just jump away if you get close to kill him but, But at 6 if you ever hit mini gnar with E and he has low-0 rage just R and ghost at him and he should die if yu hit your Abilities
Tahm Kench
Ok so this champion is super aids, Just permantally play around minion don't let him hit you with Q or you will lose treat him like graves and keep minions inbetween you, Also never fight him near his tower or you will get eaten and spat out under his tower and lose, You hard out scale him so if you dont lose early you win anyway
Jayce
A good Jayce will piss on you with no counter play, But most Jayces with get hit by your abilites so pre-6 you cant kill him unless he full ints you, But at 6 just ghost on him with Steelcaps and beat his ass. Rush Steelcaps and take ghost
Lucian
Just a Worse Jayce, You can't kill him early but at 6 ghost on him, Rush Steelcaps and take ghost, also save your E for when he uses his R to cancel it
Ryze
You cant kill him pre 6, Don't get poked too much, At 6 R him and ghost him same a usual for ranged champs
Gwen
Gwen is cancer but very winnable, levels 1-2 just Q poke her and stay out of her E+Q range (it does too much dmg), But at level 3 if she ever dashes into you pull her in and run her down and you should win if you poked her abit early levels, If you ever get a lead on her you should just be able to walk into her and farm her, If you are even at 6 dont all in her she will out sustain your dmg even through ignite, try to poke her to 70% first, Negatron Cloak helps but it doesn't auto win the match up like most ap match ups
Rumble
dont fight him at all at level 1-2, once you hit 3 you can just all in him if you hit E, i haven't vs'ed rumble alot recently so he might win all in but just play arounf his heat mechanic and if you play around your W shield you should be fine, I know for certian though that at level 6 you win if you hit your abilities, Also Negatron Cloak is really good into him when you are behind
Yasuo
Yasuo will probably outplay you pre 6 and you will struggle to hit your skill shots, Don't all in him pre 6, But after 6 with steelcaps if you hit your abilities you can't lose
Gangplank
This match up you kinda can't win unless the Gangplank is terrible and he kinda outscales you, But your mid game is better than his you can go ghost if you tihnk you can't kill him but i go ignite anyway and bank on them being bad

If you use your E in conjunction with your R if you aim it right without mobility spells they cannot dodge it because your R animation stuns them kind of snares them for half a second
If you pull people behind you and then ult them in lane the Deathrealm forces them to run towards your tower instead of their own usually meaning you pretty much always get the kill even if you do it in front of their tower since they have to run away from their tower
when vsing champions with the blade of the ruined king try to hold your w till you are on the verge of death because then the blade starts dealing no damage
Build negatron cloak if the enemy has a fed ap its so cheap and gets rid of pen and greatly reduces their dmg
radius omen briefly slows so it makes you get to always hit one ability unless they flash or dash
if you have a lead on Morde and can perma push the wave under the enemy tower run down to the river and just rift herald it gives 300g and will always let you take the full top tower even if the enemy is under it granting you a huge lead
a lot of games your job will not be to R the strongest person you can kill, but to just take an important character out of a fight so think creatively for example use your R to take junglers out of smite fights, take enchanters out so your team can kill their fed ADC or take out fed control mages so they cant aoe one shot your team and more
Don't always instantly throw out your spells wait for your enemy to get flustered and try to dodge them so you can catch up to them easily and then when you can see the enemy is flustered then throw it out
ALWAYS CHECK FOR QSS
