That's why I called you a fighter. Tanks wouldn't build penetration. If you built Sivir full durability, would she suddenly be a tank? Morde has zero CC, one of the most important tools for providing peel or initiation, leaving him EXTREMELY low on the utility front, where almost every tank out there excels. If I were to play Morde while building full durability (note: NOT what you're doing), what's to stop me from simply picking someone like Shyvana with comparable damage, better CC, better early laning, and an ability to take Smite/Tele for Cinderhulk?
But that's this is a completely acceptable way to build Morde. I'm not saying it's not. It's a little more durability heavy than I prefer and you're missing out on grabbing Hextech Revolver, which is an excellent item for him in laning phase, but to each his own. My personal build either starts with boots+4 pots or Doran's Shield+Pot depending on matchup, rushes hextech, and then goes for Sorc Shoes into Echo, Zhonya's, or Abyssal, with Zhonya's and Abyssal being core items. If I'm ahead, Rabaddon's next. If they're building MR, Void Staff. If I'm behind, more durability (Thornmail, Rylai's, BV, GA). Tons of damage, deceptive tankiness. My personal preference.
But you still haven't answered my question: Why post this? What's the point?
I believe building any AP on Morde aside from Abyssal Scepter, Void Staff, and POSSIBLY the situational Zhonya's is a massive mistake. His AP ratios are total shit, he benefits enormously from building tank items. Compare his AP ratios to ANY other AP champion in the game. Building Mordekaiser AP is as ridiculous as building Shen AP. Infact, I would go as far as to say AP Shen would be BETTER than the AP Mordekaiser people run, because building a Melee Champion with 0 CC or Mobility damn-near glass cannon is beyond RIDICULOUS. I have 1k+ games as Mordekaiser, the best Mordekaiser has ever been in the League of Legends was when people built him full on tank back in 2010-early 2011 back in the League of Sunfires and when FoN was still in the game. Granted, Mordekaiser has been changed since then, but I strongly believe he regains the strength of old if built magic pen + tanky as hell.The build I ran in this game is the least tanky build I would ever run as Mordekaiser.
Anyways, why post this? I left a response for that in another comment, but here "Anyways, its less about Morde vs Kat and more about how awesome it was rallying a group of new players together and convincing them that we could win despite the fact they have a 40+ kill Katarina" .... "nothing is more scary than a fed Katarina to a new player, and being able to conquer that fear at the craziest of levels was awesome."
's lines?
