Day 24 of Morde being the best top laner in the game

PopcornBunni··4 votes·1,215 views

Hotfix barely scratched his issues and he still has no nerfs on PBE

Still outranges every other melee with 0-cost instant wave clear. Still deals a billion damage a second with passive. Still has a faster, longer range, wider Swain Q. Still has a 0 cooldown free shield and heal. Still 52% WR from people with first timing him, only going up with games played

he's not tho....yorick, tahm and riven are the best rn, morde has plenty of counters, in fact a lot of champs can beat him, but ppl overextend their trades and don't respect his sustained damage,

I once played Morde top against an Olaf. He managed to land an axe on me & thinks he's the big boii and decided to all-in on me.

One of my easiest 1st Blood ever.

yep, lack of respect, morde is a juggernaut, meaning most champs WON'T win an extended 1v1, same goes for darius, garen, etc., olaf can defintely win 1v1, but he needs an item first, and essentially morde has 2 abilities at level 1, so trying to duel him level 1 is even stupider, the only champ i could see getting away with a level 1 1v1 vs morde is darius, and that's because darius gets a truckload of AD if he gets 5 stacks, but morde definitely isn't as op as ppl say....esp since his build path is kinda predetermined due to his lack of options for ap

Morde has plenty of counters?

Which ones, if I may ask? The only I can find are Quinn and Vayne, which he has 49% winrate against (so not that low, actually), since these pretty much counter juggernauts by default. But even then, he does better against them than any other juggernaut.

In top lane, it's either a skill match up or Mordekaiser counters you. So what are these "plenty of counters" you speak of?

Swain Garen Akali Kled are all strong counter picks, but there are other options aswell such as Gangplank Fiora Gnar Nasus Sylas Yasuo all do exceptionally well vs morde when played right, there are pleny more i can go into aswell

..... what?

The information I have in front of me: Garen Mordekaiser wins 58,5% Akali Mordekaiser wins 57,5% Kled Mordekaiser wins 50,3% Swain Mordekaiser wins 53,5%

It seems to me that he actually stomps these "counters", with the exception of Kled who is a skill matchup.

Garen is more less a test of patience, garen autowins post 6 so long as you didn't feed early Akali is skill based, if your stupid enough to let him get his passive at all, you deserve to lose Kled is a skill match up, but once he even gets the slightest lead he autowins Swain wins so long as your smart enough to save your ult for after he ults you (played this match up the the other, day, i won lane at 6 and beyond, lost game because our jungler had mcdonalds internet and kept dcing) Not entirely sure where your getting your info from, but clearly something is wrong, morde is a fairly easy lane so long as you play it right, perhaps people are just still shit playing against him, since i've noticed a lot of people just outright dive into you in top expecting to get a kill, now i may be in gold, but i've played against plats doing this exact thing, as they expect to be stronger at all times...which is where morde is most likely stomping these match ups as his passive seems to catch people off guard, like they don't realize it exists, and then they end up eating 400+ dmg from it....im honestly starting to wonder if the majority of plat is boosted monkeys Still, Fiora Gnar Gangplank are easily hard counters regardless of what a website says also forgot to mention a couple more possibilities (haven't actually seen these match ups yet though) Kennen Galio Vladimir Neeko Diana but tbh here, i feel your just trying to find excuses for why you lost a lane to morde, noticed a lot of people post bullshit about him when they lose

I don't try to find excuses, I actually never even laned against Mordekaiser a single time myself since his rework. But I was looking through his stats and found these numbers, like I said, there is no champion he actually really loses hard against. Just slightly losing against Vayne and Quinn.

In top lane, that is. In the jungle position, he loses more often.
