The idea of the build is to allow a wider variety of items to tailor to your particular situation but since I've heard that advice more than once, none of which was based on the actual guide but I do want people to think the guide is competent enough to be worth reading, i cleaned it up a bit by taking out the full usable item list (may put it back in since it was there for a reason but it did look like i just threw it up there so i'll reconsider the format) and taking out the rarest of situations items. But again please read the guide, that's where the important bits are and explains away a few of the oddities. You wont understand this guide by just looking at the surface information. Thank you for your advice.

The guide looks like you just put in EVERY item in the game without any logical sense. You should really learn how to structure cheat sheets.

Glad the first comment didnt read the guide at all. Read the notes and the rest of the guide then try it. If you dont read them then i agree this guide isnt for you because it's rather thought heavy, your not gonna look at the items and just know what to do. His potential is in 1v1 so you want invades. No finished build for a specific reason. No reasonable person suggests buying all 3 jungle items on the same game, but your right that it was unclear so i changed it. Not leaning towards adding pictures to influence people more towards not reading the guide since i dont believe it will add to the guide except aesthetically.
Edit: i did look into the math on the final point in the defensive masteries and i gotta say it's impressive. Also the scaling MR is much better than flat ap since flat ap wont be at all effective at the beginning of the game. Thanks for the tips. Also changed up some of the masteries and made the guide clearer. Though i'm still disturbed by the way you brush it off without actually reading the guide. There is no other way to get the information i need to convey other that straight reading.

This is making no sense to me at all. I mean, runes could almost be passable if you weren't ignoring the importance of scaling mres and if ms quints weren't kinda "eh" on morde since they barely affect how stupid slow and immobile he is, but when I start seeing what you recommend on buying...wat.

First of all, you don't recommend an ad or ap path. You're just like "yeah build damages and it's ok, build the three jungle items while you're at it". What. First of all, it's not gold efficient AT ALL to build the three jungle items, you're splitting stats and not focusing on any type of damage. Second of all, I don't know what dream world you're in but with morde's only ok-ish clear and sustain, you'll hardly ever gather 1.6K gold to rush a needlessly large rod, and skipping the final stage of the jungle item is actually gonna set you behind because you're skipping inbuild sustain and gold bonuses.

Also, for item guides, you won't even provide full builds. Nothing. New players or people who might actually wanna try mordekaiser jungle get no guideance as to what to go for. Worse, you recommend pretty much every single item in the game and act like Mordekaiser isn't one of the easiest champions to kite. I mean, if it were that easy to run up with Infinity Edge and get them crits people would buy it on Udyr all the time.

You don't get your 3 abilities as a jungle farmer on each level, which is also stupid. You need the shield, you need to use the CDs so you don't get your *** destroyed.

You get 21 on the defense tree but you don't get Tenacious , Tough Skin or Bladed Armor on a Morde jungle. Wat. Also you go 9 Utility on a jungler who can barely use his red buff and doesn't really require extended blue buff since all your midlaners will want the second blue since, you know, you're manaless.

You give no justificiations as to why REALLY play jungle Mordekaiser. You act like he is a god in the jungle, like he can't get easily invaded, stolen and torn apart by a lot of junglers, like he isn't stupid slow at early stages and moving and like he has anything to offer in terms of ganks. YOU HAVE NO CC. YOU CAN'T DO JACK WHEN GANKING MOBILE OPPONENTS OR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WARD COZ YOU HAVE TO WALK TO YOUR ENEMIES.

Your guide part itself is a huge wall of text. Like this comment.

Ending this comment on this really mediocre guide, "doing well" with a build in this or that game doesn't mean that said build is viable or recommendable. I can run AD Syndra in bronze and carry that game, it won't make her a good adc, it just means the opposition is bad.

tl;dr: guide sux.
