How Good Is Morde?

[quote=MrZeaver]I am a huge Mordekaiser fan and have always played well with him, i usually go ap and blast people. but today i went to a super tank. soraka and i fought there whole team with no help for like 10 minutes right below the baron on the river. eventually they couldnt kill us and they just left. i was lvl 18 with 2 warmogs, Force of Nature, Randuin's Omen, Sunfire Cape and Mercury Treads. They had a brand blasting us hard and we barely got touched Morde in my opinion is one of the most offensive tanks in the game. I had 2 of the other team outta respect friend me because i was the best on my team, even though we lost. What is everyone else's opinion of Mordekaiser?[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]You let him do what he wants early game then it's pretty gay to play against him. You rush FoN on him you're stupid. You rush Warmog's on him you're just as stupid. Early game is where you have to catch him. Make sure you win the lane and he's toasted. Late game ignore him. If you focus him you're screwed.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i honestly have to disagree with you b-wong. mordekaiser is the only champion (outside occasionally on mundo for fun) that i buy warmogs. and i buy it first. after that is an obvious fon and then ap or armor (usually zhonyas hourglass).[/quote]

[quote=PStyle]I do really well in my low Elo with Morde I normally build Tanky, with Rylai's for CC and if I'm not dying or being focused, I get more AP items like Abyssal Scepter and stuff. I never get a Warmog's though, because I don't think its good for how much it costs. Instead of Warmog's, I think Sunfire Cape and Rylai's give you a good health boost and armor and AoE damage and slow. That's just how I play him I think Morde is a good champ People say he has crap AP Ratios, but you have to remember all his skills hit multiple targets, so it's actually good At level 6, he can burst almost any non tanky person while building all tank items. So he can be a tank, while having a good damage output[/quote]

[/quote] ;-; You make me sad. [/quote] ^ this.. you rush....warmog?.......... I run morde like this: regrowth - boots - Mejai - HoG - Sorc Boots - regrowth - Rylai - FoN - Rand Seriously you have to balance damage and survival with morde... No point focusing you if you hit like a girl. Mejai will MAKE them focus you, whilst your survival is balanced with FoN, Rylai and Rand... it might look like an expensive build, but it isnt, its broken down, so you just keep getting stronger :D[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]relying on mejais soulstealer for damage? not a good idea at all. you should never rely on stacking items for anything. and b-wong, its how i play morde and i get good results. deal with it.[/quote]

[quote=AnIh]rush a spell vamp item then sunfirecap rylai abyssal scepter etc .[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Im dealing with it, it just makes me depressed inside :p[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Mordekaiser is effectively, a Tanky DPS carry type. Yes, I said "carry." [list] [*] Mordekaiser has excellent sustained dps with his Siphon, Mace, and Creeping death. [*] Mordekaiser lacks any form of crowd-control that would make him a proper tank. [*] Mordekaiser is a melee champion, thus forcing him to build tanky items to survive. [*] Mordekaiser's DPS goes sky-high when he acquires a Ghost from Children of the Grave; often surpassing normal Ranged Carry damage outputs. [*] Mordekaiser's early game has been made weak. He depends on early game farming like a Ranged carry champion such as Tristana, Ashe, Sivir, etc.. [/list] The above 5 points makes Mordekaiser a Tanky DPS carry. He builds tanky, but his damage is sustainable, and when he's played right, he carries like a boss. [color=yellow]To Answer the Question:[/color] He is amazing when played properly. [color=red]Do not build pure AP:[/color] Spell Vamp Mordekaiser can be a very fun pubstomp build. I've tried it, it's great. However, you can't spell-vamp when stunned. An intelligent enemy player will recognize this, and you will be focused down hard in an instant. Stunned, shield goes, stunned again, your health is gone~[/quote]
