Have to -1, this morde isn't tanky enough, and doesn't do enough damage to be considered a threat.

I'm not knocking you, but not getting a single point in it until like lvl 15 or something (I wasn't really checking it out but I know it would be late game >.>) is dumb. All champions are naturally squishy, Morde is also naturally squishy. You get some much needed bulkiness and for Morde's shield with it and it makes you more of a player in a teamfight; you can use it on your carry to give him some extra life. If this build works for you great, but you should always take at least 1 point in a skill early game/before 8. The top rated guide on the site is that for a reason. This is very different from that, but skill ordering does not change much from build to build despite items, except in very rare cases. And while you might know what your doing, the average noob who is playing Morde because he is free does not and won't be able to take advantage of the higher level skills in favor of it.

Also just a tip but you may want to make it so people have to leave a comment when they vote so they can't do it anonymously and have to give a reason why, just my 2 cents.

P.S: I wasn't "knocking your post" so much as telling you how I do things and attempting to explain my reasoning behind them, I do find it a little funny however that since I go offensive mastery morde you think my build is ****. When using my build you have 1500ish more HP 260ish more AP, twice as much magic penetration and deal an additional 5% more damage by taking the final offensive mastery end game.

Your build is viable but like I said getting the final thing in the defensive mastery tree is pretty important in my opinion. I have used similar builds before and prefer it my way, all about personal preference I suppose, so long as you have fun and do well with your build thats all that really matters. :)

I had a look at your build, now, im not going to down vote you, but i do think you need to learn a little more about playing mordekaiser and revise your build a bit, you are sure to have more fun playing him and kick more *** with him than you do now.

PS: If you are seriously knocking my post to promote a morde that goes down the offensive tree that far. you should not post at all.

I gotta agree with that, creeping death helps you last hit minions and keeps you alive in team fights when the whole other team is next to you. Personally I usually go Siphon > Creeping Death > Mace of Spades > Siphon > Creeping Death > Children Of the Grave > Siphon > Creeping Death as I'm leveling early game.

Also since you are using an AP centric build your Siphon and Creeping Death will be your main damage dealers not your Mace Of Spades which utilizes your AD... And I see you go only 19 into defense, in my opinion its not worth it unless you get Tenacity from the bottom of the tree to reduce all damage taken by 4%

I'm not going to down vote you but I do think you need to learn a little more about playing as Mordekaiser and revise your build a bit, you are sure to have more fun playing him and kick more *** with him than you do now. :)

(P.S: If you are curious as to how I play Mordekaiser you can check out my guide at: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/hp-ap-epickaiser-69690 )

Sigh.

Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

Creeping Death should at least have 1 point in it for your shield... >.>

Alright then, for you haters that wanted more early game AP, i switched it up to a higher dps but still with survivability variant. Enjoy.

Don't know why trolls be downvoting this build. Throw an early Heart of Gold in there and it's close to perfect.

-same as everyone: finish rylais first because you do higher damage, and get more shield, therefore not losing hp. Even if you do get ganked(gank the tank?), you have more hp to tank to tank with and a slow to jack people up(for escape or counter-ganking)
-ignite upgrade not needed personally, 10 AP isn't a big woop
-pictures, more description, use of humor. spice it up. people want to read pure awesomeness
- Creeping Death should at LEAST have 1 point in it even if your playstyle dictates the maximization of Mace of Spades. It helps out a LOT with farming, tanking, support, whatever.
-as much as you build morde as a caster, his Iron Man as a uplimit and with this item set you have pretty much 2900 HP approx. provided that you max you shield pre-fight. while it's SOMEWHAT effective, your HP isn't as effective as tanks should. I you argue morde to be a melee caster, he simply doesn't have enough distance closing ability like other melee casters such as Shadow Dance or rift walk

I don't like to downvote people, just don't like it. I'll leave you alone for now to do some editting and come back and visit later. keep workin' at it ^___^

@ should get rylais first, that is a decent point if you're going for the damage, but the point is to keep regen to stay in the fight indefinitely to keep grinding minions, the damage and straight hp is nice, however the regen is better for the long run.

@ very dry and so on and so forth, you would get the idea of the hourglass if you didn't contribute the the illiteracy of the world.

Veeryyy dry. I didnt vote but sry I just cant read it all. Add some pictures or format it somehow so it can look sexy for watching.
Also why the **** zhonia to Mord? Tank to become invincible??
