Rioters, mains, help, its Virtually impossible to play Mord in ranked
First off, know I'm very tilted. I love Mord, but can't play him at all in ranked.
I've tried many things. Attack speed, AP, AD, brusier, Hybrid, even movespeed builds and mastered tailored to such. Yes, runes included.
Even playing safe, I'm simply shut down under a tower. Either I'm outsustained, outdamaged, kited, or ganked over and over. Everyone tells me to tank, and every game I do, I am free food for my team.
As a tank: Mord's base health is so low, I'm stuck in the landing phase to build at least 3 tank items to be remotely tanky. With the last ult changes, I have little AP for abilities and not enough AD for ghosts, and no movespeed to really stick or escape ganks, or get to a team fight on time. No split pushing power to take objectives either, and melted in team fights as a tank.
Attack Speed: Pretty cheesy, but too squish to do much other than split push unless they focus you, and they wull.
Raw damage: Powerful, but you have no Attack Speed, and they will melt you before you can get 3rd Q off.
Movespeed: In ranked, the enemy team will pick massive cc and you will be screwed, even with Stormrsiders, Distortion Boots of Swiftness, ghost, flash, and lots of mobility items. At least you can stick and run away with this, but you will be heavy focused with 3-5 man ganks because it is so effective early. Any wards placed will be destroyed soon after you lay them.
Bruiser: Probably the best overall, but you have no MS, so no escapes or sticking potential.
I feel I can only play Mord well in blind, where no one knows I'm going to play him. He is way too easy to counter with his base health and 325 movespeed.
And that's sad because his current kit has so much potrntial, and he is very cool ideally.

Boots depending on needs

: gives you HP,AP,MR,CDR,Sustain (+20% from ultimate and W).Also aoe slow and a lot of extra damages (
Mixed/mage/strong CC team? ->
(if you feel comfortable and you're not in the frontline.
: the crit reduction is interesting. adding the
: If you're in frontlane, Will allow you to absorb strong burst
: If there's not a lot of damages but tanky team against you, this will help a lot. Your ultimate will drain more(allowing you to survive),Liandrys will hurt more etc..
: Against teams with sustained damages and no burst,you'll hold longer and dealsnice damages
:Rarely use it. Only if you think you'll have a lot of opportunities to use your Q spell
: Nice against AD teams,but take some HP or it'll be less effective.Really occasionnal use
: Not a juggernaut item but if you're behind,you'll be able to put some pressure in a lane to allow your team to breath.
: Why not....if you're ahead and they're squishy
