I literally can't stack Grasp because I can't get melee matchups every game. Every other tree I've tried I may as well be reported for intentionally feeding because I die in one hit. Mordes base stats are so low, I can't afford to build shitty tank items over damage, because then I don't do anything but stand there. However when I don't build a tank item I just die really fast.
Fedoran3 votesjust take dark harvest :^)
Frontline Fury3 votesWell morde is a juggernaut. Sort of intended to run tank items.
I’ll get back out of bed and go build a rume page for you.
Now keep in mind two things - mordekaiser is one of the weakest juggernauts, and largely a flop.
Secondly, runes are very playstyle oriented.
My first suggestion is pretty basic for juggernauts.
Always start ruby crystal or dorans shield.
First of all, your secondary rune should ALWAYS be resolve.
Pick one:
Resolve: Iron skin, Second wind. Resolve: Unflinching, Second wind.
Secondly, the primary runes:
Sorcery: Summon aery, Nullifying orb, Absolute focus, Scorch.
Precision: Fleet footwork, Overheal, Legend:Tenacity, Coup de grace.
Domination: Electrocute, Taste of blood, Eyeball collection, Ravenous hunter.
Inspiration: Glacial augment, perfect timing, magical footwear, approach velocity.
Sorcery: Phase rush, nullifying orb, celerity, waterwalking.
Feel free to ask if you need more help.

You clearly don't know anything about him if you believe that statement

Numerically. You are correct
And largely a flop.
You WOT MATE?

I would actually agree with Frontline furry, I don't think he is intended to build full damage. The juggernauts are supposed to be able to take things like stereks, dead mans plate, and etc...
Mordepool1 votesThose aren't tank items btw
Morde usually has 1 tank item with the rest as damage Because otherwise he does zero damage and brings nothing to the team
GigglesO1 votesThey are tanky items though, there is still a clear difference between his intentions to be a juggernaut and a mage though. He wasn't inteded to die quickly.

Look at Aatrox for comparison. Mordekaiser and Aatrox are both flopped reworks. That does not mean they are unplayable - nor does it mean they can't succeed if played well. But the amount of time investment, skill, focus and general luck required to pull of mordekaiser successfully compared to similar champions such as Darius or Urgot is... Well.
I just played - and won - a mordekaiser top game to test out my own rune page before giving advice on what runes to run. He is by no means unplayable, nor is he unfun - he is simply not good.
I used to main him before his rework, and i mained him during the majority of season 6. Personally i prefer tank builds, but as he is a juggernaut his build options are very flexible - like all potential triforce wielders.
While he is fun to play due to his unique playstyle, it is very poorly executed. If you want to win, you'll want to pick other champions over him as there are others that do nearly everything he does better than him.
Death by Glamour2 votesphase rush?
GigglesO1 votesDie/CC'd before I can do enough damage to kill them. Its hard even getting in range of the enemy I have better luck with predator.
Death by Glamour1 votescheck what malicious metal has been usual, hes the resident morde expert. hes on EUW i think
Sukishoo1 votesHe's using Phase Rush so.
Death by Glamour1 votesthought he might be

Assuming you're standard tanky-ish Morde, I'd say Predator or Dark Harvest. Maybe Glacial Augment, Phase Rush, or Fleet Footwork. I'm leaning toward Dark Harvest, or Fleet Footwork
If Fleet, I suggest Domination secondary with sustain sub-runes. Mobility and sustain are nice on Morde, the issue might be gap closing however. Legend: Tenacity if he goes Fleet is very nice, and Coup de Grace is a nice execute, considering his ult. Sorcery might be cool also as a sub-rune set (MS).
I agree none of the masteries compliment his kit particularly well however. It's problematic.
Tenth Leper1 votesI would go predator. I know you can't use it very often, but you need ravenous hunter anyway and predator does help you get into the thick of the enemy before the can whittle you down.
