@Malicious Metal Do you think Mordekaiser is currently viable in solo lanes?

If so, which lane and which skills do you max first atm? Only asking since you seem to be the Mordekaiser expert and I stopped playing him in duo lane because he gets pushed out of lane too easily.

He is in a solid spot, a bit rough to get used to but once you get the hang of him you can get a lot of successful games with him. He was and still is reliant on a team comp with at least one engage tank though.

I typically roll top and max E->Q->W but get W at level two to push the enemy laner under tower and make him lose xp and gold.

Anything more you'd want to ask?

Item build? Atm I run Sterak's Gage and Rylai's as core. Do you use that or has his itemization changed recently?

item 3116 item 3053 item 3146 Are my personal core items. From there I tend to adapt to the given situation but I found that item 3065 and item 3157 are excellent last items.

Okay cool thanks. I just looked up your runes and masteries for him so I should be good now.

The words Mordekaiser and Pushed out of Lane should NEVER be said in the same sentence.

"Should never" but is am unfortunate reality. Going against Lucian? Pushed out of lane. Going against Brand support? Pushed out of lane. Caitlynn? Pushed out of lane. After his rework I totally agreed that he was way too strong but now I don't feel I can bring him bot lane anymore not lose us the game with how strong marksmen are now. Even double relic shield flask and maxing w first doesn't seem to help.

As a morde main myself, who's actually played 2 and a half seasons of morde, and enough of CertainlyT's morde to get to just before rank 5, no. He sucked in a solo lane before his nerfs, and the changes we have now only slightly relieve the suffering he goes through in lane. You can definitely win lane with Morde. I'm not saying it's impossible. But the effort you have to put in just to go even is horrendous
