My name is Max, but you can call me Dixon as well. I'm from Ukraine so English is not my native language and I can do some mistakes (I'm sorry for that). However, you can also write me comments and I'm able to answer you in English, German, Russian and Ukrainian languages since I understand all of them, but in different levels of knowledge. 😄

PROS / CONS
Pros:
- With the help of the ultimate you can delete one enemy champion from the battle.
- Or you can turn a 1v2 or 1v3 fight into 1v1.
- Great magic damage even if a more tanked build is used.
- Excellent AOE damage.
- A very strong mid game champion.
- The character is not difficult to understand and play.
- Abilities do not use mana.
Cons:
- Poor mobility. The only thing that Mordekaiser has in his arsenal is a slight acceleration from the passive, but this is clearly not enough.
-
Mordekaiser can be easily kited by enemies using ranged attacks or some form of control.
- At the early stage of the game he is far from the strongest character and he can be outplayed by some champions. So it takes time to get strengh.

ABILITIES
Mordekaiser's skills do not cost mana and you are only limited to cooldown. This is a clear plus for the champion and due to this, you do not have to worry about mana regen at all and do not spare abilities when playing on the lane, but of course you need to use them wisely.
is incredibly cool passive that combines several positive qualities at once. First, each Mordekaiser's attack deals additional magic damage. And the scaling is pretty good. If you have any source of magical vampirism, then it will work for bonus magical damage. Considering the fact that for Mordekaiser is bought items for ability power, the bonus damage will really be felt. Second, when
Mordekaiser hits enemy champions (or large monsters) with three basic attacks or skills he gains a buff. Under the influence of this buff a kind of whirlwind is created around the champion, which inflicts not only quantitative damage, but also a percentage depending on the enemy's health. It is very easy to activate the passive as even one successful use of
Obliterate or
Death's Grasp can give you the three charges you need. The passive is in effect for a full 5 seconds and the duration will be longer if you continue to deal damage. In a battle this passive not only deals good damage, but also allows you to restore health well due to magical vampirism. By the way, the passive goes very well with the
Conqueror rune. If you buy the artifact
Rylai's Crystal Scepter, then the created vortex will slow down enemies. Passive also goes very well with
Demonic Embrace. Thirdly, having received the
Darkness Rise buff
Mordekaiser gets a bonus to movement speed, which is very good.
this is the main combat ability of
Mordekaiser which deals good damage in area and has a relatively small cooldown. If you hit with the ability only one target, then in this case the damage will be increased. I want to draw your attention to the fact that when you hit one target, it will no longer be considered an AOE ability, but a skill that deals damage to one target. Some items will work a little differently because of this. The ability is applied with a slight delay which is a disadvantage, but in principle you can get used to it. It's a little bit annoying that the ability has not the largest width of the affected area, but otherwise the skill would be too strong. The ability can be combined with
Flash. In this case the affected area will be further and thus you can, for example, finish off the fleeing enemy. I advise you to definitely practice in a special mode before using this feature in a regular match.
is a skill for protection. Dealing and receiving damage
Mordekaiser charges a shield (a bar is shown under the health) and upon the first use the shield will be activated. The maximum strength of the shield is equal to 30% of Mordekaiser's health, which is not very bad. With help of the shield you can, for example, block some powerful enemy ability or absorb a tower shot. Due to the shield,
Mordekaiser can very profitably exchange attacks on the lane, losing less health. If necessary, the shield can be converted to health. Even just playing on the lane, you can actively use the healing effect. For example, you started a fight and activated the shield, but the enemy moved back at long distance. In this case, it makes sense to reuse the skill and restore some of your health. After all, if you do not do this, the shield will still disappear after a while.
this skill is the main control tool in Mordekaiser's arsenal and works very interestingly. The trick is that you can not only pull enemies, but you can also adjust the pull zone. For example, if you use the ability to the maximum distance, then you will simply pull enemies towards you. And if you use the ability from a minimum distance, then in this case the enemies will be thrown behind your back. With the help of this ability you can pull enemies out from behind a wall or to throw them over an obstacle. For some reason new players use the skill exclusively as a tool for initiating a battle or in order to stop a fleeing enemy. But the skill has another good use. For example, you stand on the line and see an enemy jungler coming out of the jungle. You understand that you cannot fight now and you need to retreat. You can throw the ability under your feet and if the enemies are running after you, they will be thrown back. The method is very effective and if everything is done correctly then you will instantly stop the enemy's attack and the enemy jungler's gang will completely fail.
Mordekaiser's ultimate is one of the most unusual and spectacular in the game. A large number of different mechanics are associated with it, but we will analyze the most basic ones. The ult itself works very simply. When activated, you steal part of the enemy's characteristics and are transported to another world, where you actually fight in the arena. In this case, only you and your rival will be only living beings on the arena. All objects and structures will remain. Moreover, the towers will still be active. It will be risky to jump under the enemy tower and kill the enemy in the arena. But you can open an arena next to your tower, and in this case the allied tower will help you very much. In rare cases the ultimate can be used to exclude other enemies (leaving only one) and, for example, finish off an enemy inhibitor. Your enemy can avoid the ultimate with the help of the abilities
Battle Roar,
Ragnarok,
Remove Scurvy,
Unbreakable Will and
Quicksilver Sash. These are the most obvious ways, although there are more. So you shouldn't be surprised that you used your ultimate, but nothing happened and the ability went to recharge. Ultimate of
Mordekaiser allows you to turn off one enemy from the battle and there are a lot of options. You can try to send an enemy damage dealer or some other annoying enemy to the arena. There are situations when one player carries his entire team and by enclosing such a champion you automatically give a huge advantage to your allies. Sometimes it is not even necessary to kill the enemy, it is enough just to hold him in the arena, and your allies at this time will cut out the entire enemy team and then calmly destroy the last enemy champion. In rare cases the ultimate can be used in order to avoid some huge damage. After all, abilities from another world do not work in the arena. The main advantage of the ultimate is that the ability is truly versatile and can be applied in different ways. At the same time one correct usage of the ultimate can instantly turn the tide of battle and even lead you to victory in the game. You can use
Death's Grasp and quickly cast
Realm of Death and it's going to be very hard for the enemy to dodge your
Death's Grasp since
Realm of Death applies 75% slow for 0.5 sec. And don't waste your Ultimate on targets who are going to die in 1 sec anyway!



























BUILDS & ITEMS

Riftmaker's passive true damage helps take down durable enemies as well as giving slight burst against fragile enemies with the increased damage. Since omnivamp applies to true damage, this means it also provides an exceptional amount of healing. These are very useful for battle mages. Constantly dealing damage to enemy champions is required in order to maintain combat and activate Riftmaker's passive. Persistent damage such as



























RUNES























SUMMONER SPELLS


Flash is the most frequent choice of all players in League of Legends. Such popularity of the spell is caused by the fact that




Teleport is mainly used to minimize laning downtime after










Ignite provides players an offensive utility and damage spell that scales with level. A well-placed healing reduction debuff from










GAMEPLAY INFORMATION & TIPS
After a global rework
Mordekaiser settled confidently on the top lane. The champion can be also played in MID or jungle, but this is a little bit more difficult. To my opinion,
Mordekaiser is slow for jungle role and lacks control for ganks. I advise you to start with the top line and when you get comfortable you can try other positions.
During the initial phase of the game, do not try to play too aggressively. Especially if you are just learning
Mordekaiser. Stand calmly on the lane, keep an eye on the enemy and try to farm as much as possible. It is very important to buy key items as soon as possible, i.e.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter,
Demonic Embrace and
Riftmaker. Mordekayser's abilities have a good increase in damage from ability power and after purchasing the first artifacts you will immediately notice how your damage has noticeably increased. It is highly desirable to learn how to control the minions on the lane. To understand when to push and when it is better to freeze the lane closer to your tower. These skills will allow you to stand more calmly up to level 6, even if the enemy is playing very aggressively and does not allow you to farm in peace. Be sure to pay attention to the minimap and at least try to imagine where the enemy jungler may be. If you have no wards and you didn't see jungler for a long time, so it's better to not go far away from your tower. In the case of a gank
Mordekaiser can only rely on
Flash and the well-used
Death's Grasp. But if you are too far from your tower, then these tools will not help either. When you open the ultimate and at least some items appear in your pocket, then you will feel more relaxed on the lane. The trick is that even if two enemies attack you, you can use the ultimate and fight the enemy 1vs1. After buying the first complete item try to act more aggressively and if the ult is ready to use, then you can even start actively pushing the lane. Mordekaiser's peak of power comes around the middle of the game. So the beginning of the game we try to prepare for this and then we start to dominate hard.
If allies want a fight, then try to take part in it. Especially when there is a struggle for some important object like a Dragon or Herald\Baron.
Mordekaiser is really interesting in getting dragons or barons. As a rule, when an epic monster has very little health left, then the junglers on both sides try to use
Smite and finish off the target. At this moment,
Mordekaiser can withdraw the enemy jungler from the fight by his ult and give him no chances left for smiting the monster. Even if at the late stage of the game you will not have enough damage or protection, you will be able still to turn fights due to the ultimate. Of course, this flexibility makes the champion more challenging. After all, you need to constantly monitor all opponents and use your ult wisely.
