I've been playing this game for 3 years now and I can't figure out how does anyone play this champ. Now matter what I build, I just get locked down with CC and die.
Is this what it means to be a juggernaut?
Malicious Metal3 votesMordekaiser is in a rather fragile spot seeing that you need to have a solid grasp of when he spikes, what the extend of your power is and when to actually try to go for kills. He works best if you max W first and wave clear relentlessly while sustaining anything they throw your way. He relies heavily on items to do his Job but once he gets them he's unstoppable, once he gets ahead it's practically GG for the enemy.
I personally like rocking a build like this:

just like in real life, a lot of us could be in a higher station in life if we just stopped doing what we love, but why do that? Do what you are passionate about.

he is the only one that gives me fun in that game, you don't decide if he is boring or not.
JedenVojak2 votesHe was more of a juggernaut before his rework.
Right now he's just a gimp. He kinda exists, out there in the ether, but he doesn't actually DO anything.
Zefirez2 votesPicked him up recenlty and yeah it's bad. Because of rylai's you can't build real tank early in the game and that shows. You can 1v1 as morde, given your opponent is stupid enough to think he'll win (with your shield, heal and ult drain you can fool them into believing that). But most of the times you will get brutally ganked or kited.
To get kills with morde you need to be smart. Unless it's endgame and you tank up, don't think yourself the frontliner. Drop into teamfight when it's already on, and bonk some kills with your mace. Under no circumstance try to be frontliner. If you need a frontliner without relying on team, get the dragon, and you can use him as your badass tank. or ult their tank and let others get you a new tank you need.
Lastly until you get rylai's you won't get kills unless your opponent is a die hard 1v1 duelist. Most of the games i find jungler loves to camp my top, so rarely you'll get that chance.
Morde is all about fishing for opportunities, not making them, least according to my experience.

Poske1 votesBassicly yeah
Darius And Illaoi outclass every single juggernaut in the game
KnightOfEloHell1 votesPersonally, I love Mord's kit. I LOVE it, and that's why I main him.
I also understand that Morde has terrible base resistances, movespeed, hp, and attack speed. He is also item reliant.
As a result, I focus mobility by using ghost/flash, or more recently ghost/ignite. I like to throw in Ludens for obvious reasons. I mean really, noone expects a mobile Mord. I also take gold income masteries as like I said, Mord is item reliant and needs gold.
Since my summoner spells give me potential to stick and have kill potential, I favor Ionian boots unless I must build diffrent ones. Use spells faster, and have more CDR on abilities to keep shields up.
Hyper focus cs
Poke them down and only all in when they are low or you can safely get fed adc ghost for a killing spree
WARD, MORDE TAUGHT ME THE IMPORTANCE OF WARDING
Time your heals as w can be deactivated
Build defensive offensive items like Zhonyas, Abysmal, Mercurial, and Maw(situationally).. Ya gotta look to see who the biggest threat is, counter build them so you can deal damage and sustain theu thier damage, so you can get a super fed ghost, get kills, and more importantly SEIZE TOWERS
If you have a ghost, take objectives and turn fights around. Objectives OP tho, and the cs from pushing lane to get to the towers outweighs a few kills
High AP=more heals and a powerful ult melt High AD=sustained damage and bursty Q, and ghosts that HURT. You need some hp to stay alive tho if you want high AD, as your w and ult will be weak
I tend to lean towards a hybrid build, typically heavy on AP
Dragon ghost=you best take as many objectives as possible, you are DRAGON SEIGE MORDEKAISER
Boots start is a good way to sustain lane and make up for low mobility. Start against skillshots
Amp tome start against squishies
Long sword for medium pot sustain and help last hitting early
Mejias is OP on him if you know how to play him well, DON'T DIE
It's okay to up a mid game, for poke and bigger shields early, just have hp to mitigate the high hp costs of spamming it(maxed e first against vaybe as adc Mord, and she couldn't play against me)
If the poke is too much, max w first for sustain.
Learn to poke with w deactivate as they cs. Cast on a minion and deactivate when they are in the circle, even if the 2 circles don't touch.
Ignite helps
Strawberrycocoa1 votesPicked Singed because I enjoy playing him and had to go against a Morde. I don't usually do too bad as Singed during lane phase, but fuck me if Morde didn't eat me alive right from the start. Shield absorbed all my god damn poison, and I couldn't deal any meaningful damage to him while he's exploding me as soon as I step toward the minions.
I have no point to this except to give you rare Mordekaiser Mains some delicious pain to consume. Please enjoy my tears.
