For you who haven't seen this yet.

A rework is coming for Mordekaiser and by the looks of it he is moving in on the bot lane, replacing the ADC and breaking the meta.

His kit is rather....weird. Like there is a TINY benefit to him having a duo partner but that's it. Hes still probably a better bruiser.

Basically MOBAFire.

Probably, but I kinda like the idea of a bot lane mage in a otherwise full AD-team.

I wouldn't call it a tiny benefit.

His damage is so high, he only needs to build Rylai's and Void Staff / Liandry's for damage, rest full tank and still 3-shot you. But, Titanic Hydra works also well for him.

One build with very high synergy I found is Titanic Hydra, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Mercury's Treads, Abyssal Scepter, Dead Man's Plate, Warmog's Armor.

I feel like the meta will shift to more blade heavy ADC's and more HP heavy Bruisers, since Bruisers with the new items now benefit way more from HP than resistances. Also, Randuin's Omen reduces crit by 10%, making crit ADC's compared to Blade ADC's rather weak.

How to Hue Hue Hue Your Opponents: Mordekaiser 101!

Step 1: Survive until you're level 6. This is the hard part.

Step 2: Build Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Haunting Guise. Any AD is useless/not worth it.

Step 3: Go back to your lane, their Draven will be super confident.

Step 4: Use your Q and proceed to 3-shot the poor sod.

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Take dragon: Profit. Repeat until you achieve victory.


Honestly, Mordekaiser is one of my favourite champions and I think this patch definitely buffed him. The hard part is going to be finding a duo partner in Team Builder, because a melee ADC isn't something that pleases all the people.

I think he works best with Taric, having a heal and a stun in the lane. Also, the armor aura helps very much with his shield.
He is gonna kill you!!!

Literally the botlane comp with the least mobility you could've thought of. Not to mention Taric has barely any peel and Morde is a huge pusher.

I'd think he's good with healers, considering his already annoying shield, or with more shields on top. Nami and Lulu come to mind

Maybe Janna as well? She provides him with a shield, bonus AD and strong peel. Purrrfect.

Idd, you need a good peeling support to be able to play him bot lane if you're playing against decent players.

Janna, Nami or Thresh is probably the best supports to team up with.
