Mordekaiser Recommended Build

Meep Man··1 votes·753 views

Mordekaiser's recommended build needs to be updated. The items you guys at Riot gave him is overall not the best choice, being a real hosh posh of defensive and offensive stats. Here are items I think should be present instead of the current items.

Starting Items This is one category you guys got right. Going Relic Shield + Health Potions + Warding Totem actually works well on him, giving him more health, decent sustain, better last hitting, and his Support more gold than usual. item 3302 item 2003 item 3340


Essential Items This is where the item builds begin to need to be updated. Upgrade Relic Shield and get Ninja Tabi's sure. However, Phage is not the best option. Instead, upgrading your boots with Furor is much better. Instead, rushing a Randuin's is much better due to the slow now always lasting for 4 seconds and granting Mordekaiser useful stats for surviving Bottom Lane. His base damage is also high enough to survive as well in the early game without building damage items. Getting Furor should massively boost offensive capabilites anyways. item 1315 item 3097 item 3143


Offensive Items Mordekaiser's offensive capabilities are already extremely good right off the bat. His main problem is sticking to his target, so the following items help him do so while also providing offense capabilities. Sterak's Gage to me is ok, but its not the end all for Mordekaiser. Purchase only if you know you will be building lots of health. item 3285 item 3116 item 3146 item 3053


Defensive Items Mordekaiser scales off of health by default since his shield now scales off of Max Health. Armor and Magic Resist also scales well with him due to this. Making Mordekaiser able to soak up more damage without sacrafising health and boosting sustain should be the aim of defensive items. DPM is also a good defensive item with mobility. Also, for the love of god, DO NOT BUILD FACE OF THE MOUNTAIN! Its a wasted late game item slot. Building more selfish stats is what you need late game since YOU ARE THE CARRY! item 3065 item 3102 item 3083 item 3742


Adjusting Mordekaiser's recommended build to something such as this should help show people what is most optimal on this new, Carry Juggernaut.

or they can just revert Morde back his oldself and we can just sweep this nasty kit under the rug - maybe we can even let CertainlyT keep his job.

The thing is, its not really a failure. The launch is a failure, but the kit is ok. It just needs better Solo Lane support. A LOT BETTER!

There has been some talk that Spell Vamp no longer procs on Morde's Q. Riot hasn't really addressed this but the replacement with item 3078 seems to indicate such a change.

Since Morde is a Duo laner ( I do not think its adequate to say Bot Lane) I agree with your offensive items except replacing item 3146 with item 3078. Funny thing is that if you go MS quints you don't need boots.

If you go item 3116 item 3285 item 3053 item 3078 item 3742 item 3102

With full DMP stacks and W active his MS is around 566. Its pricey but how Morde scales now he's destroyed Boots Meta as well. I did not even mention the rage Passive +20 on it + 60 on kill. He can get over 600 MS and stay well above 500 in most situations.
