I'm on a 22 game win streak on Mordekaiser right now, I don't get why people still think he's weak

that awkward moment when youre talking about win streaks NOT in ranked

Sahn UzalJan 13, 20189 votes

I mean, it's preseason rn. There's no real point in playing Ranked atm.

True but a winstreak in norms is saying "Hey I'm on a win streak where a portion of the enemy is trolling, trying an off meta build, playing the free champ of the week, or is drunk/high"

AnidanJan 14, 20183 votes

You say that like people don't do all that in Ranked, too.

Can confirm, many of my normal games have been trying new champs for the weekly box

look at the dates of his games...

AhristocatsJan 13, 20189 votes

if you try to play rankeds in high elo you're not going to get your main role 3/5 of the time in preseason

especially when it's ADC

just like the guy in the post above yours... look at the dates of his games... shits not preseason games AT ALL

TahmJan 14, 20189 votes

I think ive seen you stream before(?) may be a different person. Youre good at morde. We have all seen your post. I have done pretty well on morde my last few games trying to learn him

But please.. Dont try to validate morde over norms when you duo Every Single Game. I have a +80% avg winrate on my two junglers last season when i duod.

MordepoolJan 14, 20187 votes

I don't see any buff Morde threads!?Haven't for a longtime. VGU demands yeah sure.

That said since I've changed to bot Morde I've been flamed more but I have been having fun again. Which is important for long time players

RexxieeJan 14, 20186 votes

Who says hes weak?

His winrate spiked to over 55% this patch, hes probably broken right now.

Mysticman89Jan 14, 20186 votes

I'm inclined to think a 22 win streak regardless of champ is more an indication you started at the wrong mmr for your skill level, than a reflection of a particular champs strength.

Nanuk PihoqahiakJan 16, 20181 votes

How does someone start at the wrong MMR when they have like 50,000 games of Mordekaiser? lol Obvious exaggeration, but you get the point.

Mysticman89Jan 16, 20181 votes

It'd be because MMR is queue specific, so normals and ranked mmr are different. If they have 50k morde games but they're all ranked for example, it's quite probable that their ranked mmr is quite a bit higher than their normals mmr.

TengenToppaGnarJan 16, 20181 votes

Or more like he's troll, who plays in premades/duos/triples, so he never plays with randoms, meaning he has an ally who knows how to enable him.

Mysticman89Jan 16, 20181 votes

While this is true to a degree, he'd also be playing against premades as a result, and when at a suitable mmr they'd be able to handle him+premade (roughly 50% of the time anyway).

Of course if premade members have significantly different mmrs from him, then that'd also result in him playing at the wrong mmr for his skill level even if his mmr when playing solo might be accurate.

xelakerJan 14, 20185 votes

I was digging it until I saw the supp items :/

ReformedfindlayJan 14, 20185 votes

This is norms.

Also, arent you the guy that literally only duos?

Also, morde probably is shit tier in master/chall/competitive.

Morde pr is literally less than one percent.

RewtJan 13, 20183 votes

How have the steraks changes been treating morde. I saw a Huge bump in my Hecarim builds power after the changes.

Malicious MetalJan 13, 20184 votes

Mord gets a whopping 73 AD from it come late game. It's a great item on him and gives him the tools to survive the initial impact of a fight and then heal/shield through all of it.

The cost increase is a bit annoying though since it delays his damage items but it's still a staple item on him.

AhristocatsJan 13, 20183 votes

i think bryan was right tho

GA is better until very late game the AD morde gets from sterak depends on lvl

if it didn't cost 3200 gold i would have agreed that it would be the best on morde

also apparently you can't die if i have guardian+locket+vow

Handy Sandy Jan 14, 20183 votes

It's because you're a onetrick. Just because someone, especially a main, can get a high win streak doesn't mean they're overpowered or anything. Plus you're duo/triple and it's normals. A lot of them are even 5 mans so you have a whole team supporting you.

TengenToppaGnarJan 16, 20182 votes

Its funny how this thread isn't in the negatives :P

YumaS2AstralJan 14, 20183 votes

You don't use Rylai?

JohnnyNeverSinsJan 13, 20181 votes

I actually bought morde recently,i find him really fun to play,any tips? what lane do you prefer playing? and is liandry's better that rylai's ?

theminiomJan 14, 20181 votes

I mean At least your not full ap? Why would you get Steraks on an ap mordekaiser, It's Triggering me enough already.

Doctor FillgoodJan 14, 20181 votes

...support mord? We just need to get early dragon...

EVERY FUCKING TINE THE JUNGLE DECIDES DRAGONS NOT IMPORTANT!

TengenToppaGnarJan 16, 20181 votes

He's playing in a Duo. Morde does better when he has an ally to enable him, otherwise, Morde can be really shit if he was playing with a random in that lane.

Forhonor321Jan 14, 20181 votes

interesting. Quick question, have you still been using him bot or solo lane? Also why no use for Rylai, isn't that a core item on him or do you have build that doesn't need it?

TengenToppaGnarJan 16, 20181 votes

Those items suggest bot-lane, meaning he's probably not mentioning he's in a duo EVERYTIME with an ally who can hard CC while Morde does assloads of damage which he does when enabled.

CyberBaltJan 14, 20181 votes

I don't really understand the frostfang stuff, but other than that, yeah. I have also been having a good time with Morde bot lane.

Athenes LuluJan 14, 20181 votes

because he's melee and adcs are fucking overpowered and every single one of them needs to be gutted obviously

and that they are always the ones ruining items :)))))))

kappa

TengenToppaGnarJan 16, 20181 votes

Because most people don't want to be Bot Morde, and Morde doesn't have a single CC in his kit, so his sololane(aka his primary players) aren't doing so hot in higher-elo :P

You also fucking duo the bot lane, so you're not getting a troll who doesn't take a champ with hard CCs. Silly Troll.
