What it's like to create item sets for Mordekaiser

First, try to make a tanky bot lane build: You discover that titanic hydra cannot reset his AA while Q is active.

Then, try to make a sustainy/spell vamp build: You discover that he doesn't reduce the cooldown of hextech's active since Q is coded as an AOE.

Then, you decide to take him into the jungle since his clears are so good: You discover that sated devourer turns off completely when Q is active, preventing you from gaining any double attacks whatsoever.

Rito, please fix.

I didn't think titanic hydra was an autoattack reset. If you want that you have to use Ravenous, but then it doesn't proc on his 3rd Q attack. Strangely inconsistent. Anyway, I play morde as a jungler with: item 3930 item 3053 item 3124 item 3742 item 3748 item 1310

It's super effective, bugged item interaction or not. His jungle clear speed is silly.

Ravenous hydra is not an attack reset, the effect just plays an attack animation. Titanic is an attack reset because it adds stacks to effects such as Tahm's acquired taste.

I haven't tested the rageblade with him. I'll be curious to see if it actually adds stacks during Q.

Imo, you are much better off using warrior than sated on Mordekaiser since you lose a huge portion of the budget due to the poor interaction with Q.
