Introduction

So I've played COUNTLESS characters, and I have had some success here and there but none have ever stuck... still I met this hunk of metal. Mordekaiser is like a Burst damage tanky behemoth.. I've seen him played many many times. Some good matches, some bad, so I decided to try him... I'm happy to say that I have found my all time favourite champion!
This build works along side your abilities to just not go down... even when your the main focus in a team fight... your sooo hard to kill unless they ALL focus you... but if that happens your team has free rain to smash their faces on the key board and shred the other team... This is what I call the epic strategy. Basically the true tanks like




Here's your proof..

Upon glimpsing his fearful visage, most keep their distance, fortunately unaware that his touch bears a sinister scourge. Those who stumble within his grasp fall victim to incurable maladies. In fact, Mordeakiser seems mystically attuned to sickness, as if it feeds and comprises part of his chilling essence. he now stalks the slums of Noxus, drawn to the plague-ridden and diseased. However, there is something in his clever tactics, something in his noble stance, and something in the tone of his unearthly commands that has led many to believe that Mordekaiser is more than just a foot soldier. Some see the distinguishing characteristics of a general. While many have learned to accept the evidence of this unsettling possibility, a lingering question keeps them wary at the witching hour: If Mordekaiser is a general, what nightmarish legion lurks at his command?
''The common perception is that the encompassing armor protects him, I fear that - for the fragile time being - it actually protects us.'' - Rozuel Fecirem, Arch Adjudicator, noted in Mordekaiser's eligibility evaluation.
Pros of Mordekaiser
-Amazing early game harass and kill power
-Tank like passive
-Huge burst damage even with low amounts of AP
-No mana to worry about because your moves cost health (easily countered with HP Regen)
-Amazing pusher
-Great killstealer with his ult if you wanna just be a jerk like that
-Can solo lane easily in mid
-I think he looks freakin bad ***!
Cons of Mordekaiser
-When fighting characters with endless harass, it can be risky to spam skills
-If you are silenced when your shield is already down, you can die in seconds early game, and especially late game
-Some people find him ugly..
-Great kill stealer... some people get but hurt about that :p
The main reason I like to focus more on the defensive aspect of Mordekaiser's masteries isn't because I tank with him. But because of three main masteries.
Veteran's Scars - This is an amazing mastery for Morde's early game, this allows you to freely spam your moves even more efficiently early game. It helps to have a higher amount of health when your moves cost health to use.
Tenacity - Here's my favourite mastery, it is just ******ed when paired with your stupid *** passive... think of it this way. When you have the ability to have a shield that absorbs damage, and the more damage the shield takes the faster it fades, but when you have something that makes you take 4% LESS damage, that shield lasts even longer... and that's just a mean thought lol.
Harden Skin - This again works just like Tenacity! Only instead of taking less, you actually block the attacks, making your passive even more amazing! I love this mastery for this beast, it works so well along side Tenacity and your passive... it's crazy!




greater seal of vigor Seals of Vigor - Welcome to Mordekaiser's early game best friends! These babies let you spam, and spam, and spam your skills with an relentless assault on their poor health bar. Hell I've even gone mid quite a few times with this behemoth and he does great! Even against someone like



All in all deciding on what runes I wanted took some trial and error but I finally found my favourite set!!


Now here's what I meant by it being hard to decide on Summoner Spells for Mordekaiser.
You could use

Another possibility would be something like




On next hit, Mordekaiser swings his mace with such force that it echoes out, striking up to 3 additional nearby targets, dealing 80/110/140/170/200 (0.4 + ) magic damage.
If the target is alone, 140/192.5/245/297.5/350 ( + ) damage is dealt instead.
Costs 25/32/39/46/53 Health
Range 600

Unleashes a protective cloud of metal shards to surround an ally for 6 seconds, increasing their armor and magic resistance by 10/15/20/25/30 and dealing 24/38/52/66/80 (+0.2) magic damage per second to nearby enemies.
Costs 26/32/38/44/50 Health
Range 750

Mordekaiser damages enemies in a cone in front of him, dealing 65/105/145/185/225 (+0.6) magic damage.
For each unit hit, Mordekaiser's shield absorbs an additional 1/2/3/4/5 health.
Costs 24/36/48/60/72 Health
Range 700

Steals 24/29/34 (+0.04)% of target champion's maximum Health (half stolen initially and half over 10 seconds; deals Magic Damage).
If the target dies while cursed, their soul is enslaved and will follow Mordekaiser for 30 seconds. Mordekaiser gains 20% of their ability power and attack damage, and the pet's stats are enhanced.
Pets can be controlled by holding the alt key and using the right mouse button.
No Cost
Range 850
OH! One important aspect of this build. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER!!!!!! the INSTANT you use your ult when they are at like 20-15% hp, toss Ignite on them.. I can not tell you how many times I've missed out on a kill because I failed and forgot to use ignite...
Trust me... It helps, its cheap and cruel, but it works! :D
