indeed this one is focused on mordekaiser as tank, a more agressive build focusing on the AP will be posted later on. You can decide yourself which one you like the most , they both got their good and bad sides as you can read in the build ^^

I think that is good for morde tank. Were working on more aggressive build for morde.

Doran's shield is indeed a nice alternative to start with. I usually rush the heart a bit but the build is only my guideline for you as to how i think it should be played. You can still modify it to your liking, everyone has their own way of playing don't they ^^

yes no boots, i've been asked about it before and the answer is simple: you're supposed to be a shield for your team. Your spells and passive effects slow your enemies anyway. Being slow makes it easier for you to be targetted by the opponent team, you'll take the damage while they spill their spells on you. Once your team is ready to jump in you activate the omen to slow the opponents down aswell as slowing their attack speed making them an easy target for your team. Of course this build is only usefull if you have a decent team of course.

no boots?

I would suggest starting with Doran's shield, by the time you recall, you should have that 825 gold anyways, basically helps you out early game with the shield, without getting any less gold lead with the heart of gold. Nice build tho.

Good build :D
