I love how people say we lack proper AP items for Morde to really be a Juggernaut

Mordekaiser is due for a VGU, we all know that, and every time the topic comes up people bring up the "issue" oh him being Magic damage based and thus not being able to spec into the usual bruiser items like item 3071

But he really doesn't need to do that in order to actually feel like a bruiser, a Juggernaut. Mordekaiser has monstrous total AD ratios, which mean he doesn't really have to invest in a lot of AD for him to hurt, and coupled with really good AP ratios you get a Juggernaut capable of building whatever he wants to still be a threat.

And unlike Evelynn, Mordekaiser's Hybridity isn't a problem as it doesn't warp his gameplay into something Riot doesn't want to support.

item 3151 Provides a bruiser like him with pen, ways to deal with tanks and great stats, serving as his "core" similar to Darius' Cleaver item 3053 with the buffs currently on the PBE this item is even stronger on him, providing him with a huge spike in durability and damage come mid game item 3146 Is THE damage item for him, making use of his strong dual scalings, giving him more survivability and just making his damage skyrocket item 3065 Most Juggernauts have healing and SV just makes Mordekaiser draintank even harder, really serving as the cornerstone of his in-combat survivability together with steraks And lastly item 3135 providing Mordekaiser with a way for his damage to not fall off late game as the 35% total MPen's even superior to BC's 25%


item 3146 item 3151 item 3053 item 3065 item 3020 item 3135

Overall I think Mordekaiser already has the itemization to support his Hybrid/magic damage Juggernaut playstyle, rendering concerns regarding the item support for post VGU Juggerkaiser somewhat useless.

mordekaiser should be a juggernaut played bot lane after VGU, while not having a toxic solo lane

Please no, we don't want him to be a duo laner, he's always been a solo laner. Even after his rework to be a bot laner, he shifted back into the solo lane, which is perfect

Didn't Morde's transformation into a melee ADC make him incredibly busted?

That was just because of crazy inflated numbers. Because of this, he got hit with many nerfs

  • Q dealing 9x damage and one shotting people without much AP
  • Being 1 or 2 levels ahead of the enemy bot lane (nerfed the EXP gain from W)
  • Dragon Ghost being really strong (they had to nerf it)
  • Too much damage (nerfed his W pretty hard, used to deal 2x damage if both circles were touching)
  • Too much sustain (nerfed the W sustain and gave it a huge Health cost)
  • Nerfed base stats (hit his base armor pretty hard because he was oppressive against ADCs, I guess)

So yeah, he was only strong in the botlane because they just overtuned everything in his kit

Not on top lane Mordekaiser. It's where I need to be tanky, given the role I take up in the team.

When did Haunting guise become Cordekaiser?

And when find Gunblade become Non-core?
