So i tried the new Mordekaiser today, first, with AP runes and masteries and items. It didnt work so well since I realized I didn't do enough damage. I went with AD runes and masteries with tanky items and I realized how strong it was. What do you guys think of the new Mordekaiser?
Critmaster Garen1 votesive just watched a steam were the morde maxed w. he literally walked into the creewaves, not bothered by the enemy poke and cleared them like he did with his old e. while using the heal it provides.
looks strong. ap or ad.
xXKUR0S4K1Xx1 votesYes Ad is better on him than Ap but Ad costs twice as much. When it comes to runes and masteries they are pretty even though so it's stronger on him and has added benefits.
Meep Man1 votesI love new Mordekaiser personally. Old mains seem to hate it, and I dont see why. He is about the same in a solo lane as before except more sustained damage focused rather than burst, although he kind of needed it since before Mordekaiser was "Burst! Did they die? If yes, I win. If no, I lose, no questions asked."
Malcha1 votesBut he's not the same, he's literally lost an entire skill.
I'm not saying he's not great in bot lane, but solo, he's down a skill. Considering his shield helped him to push/clear waves, did decent AOE, helped to generate shield, and gave him bonus mr/armor, it's a big hole. You can't really blame them feeling as though something is lacking in solo lanes. Something is. An entire skill.
JedenVojak1 votesFirst, all of his existing weaknesses were exacerbated, but his old strengths were also nerfed.
His strengths were good all around AOE damage, and a good amount of innate tankiness. He lost 2 aoe spells and his 3rd spell was heavily nerfed, he gains less shield from the damage across all of his abilities (the ratio of damage->shield generation was reduced); the 2 things together actually massively exacerbate the issue of shield regen, as he is hitting fewer targets and generating less shield on a per-target basis. His damage is almost entirely single target focused now, but the slow rate of his auto attacks, combined with his reduced move speed make applying this damage quite difficult.
Certainly with old Mordekaiser, if I had 
, I felt pretty tanky and did a respectable amount of damage. Perhaps I should try building towards that again at the start, because at least right now, building the recommended items I feel super squishy, especially early game.
Overall, he has a narrower range of impact, feels much squishier, and his damage is just much harder to apply overall.
Also, Teemo blind seems to stop all of his Q damage, which is quite disconcerting.
Zone of Endless1 votesI haven't seen him once today so i have no clue
