Go item 3152 item 3158 item 3116 item 3065 item 3742 and either item 3001 or item 3157 depending on enemy teamcomp, taking 10% cdr in runes and 5% from the 45% mastery with Windspeakers. The point of Vladimir is to continue doing damage while being unkillable, rather than dealing loads of damage and dying a little slower than a typical APC.

Is Morde actually a lategame champion? To me it seems like he spikes in midgame (but I have no idea..).

I love dargen, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dargen, however, I'm not familiar with dargen pets affecting the leagues of legends 8)

Mordekaiser's late game is one of the strongest amongst the Juggernauts if built Hybrid. He gets unbelievably tanky and his damage output's obscene.

He can one v one anyone when full build but he does "fall off" late game if his team comp doesn't benefit him. With a team of decent cc and engage Mordekaiser might just be one of the greatest late game threats.

Kindred (wolf): -cough cough us cough-

Mordekaiser : "Nope just that Lamb."

Marksmen are strong lategame, therefore Morde is strong lategame.

AnidanFeb 19, 20161 votes

Ezreal His main strengths can't even be used by Morde. At least Kalista still has strong pushing power with as fast as she hits, whereas an Ez ghost is bordering on probably the worst ghost of the ADCs, especially if the Ez builds Blue.

yes, he gets a good spike in the midgame but if you can accentuate on that spike then you can easily become a late game monster

To make Pentakill a legitimate team comp

Jhin - It's time for the final act; oh, how bitter sweet it is.

charcharmunroFeb 19, 20161 votes

He's probably a pretty good counter to Karthus. He can take him out from extreme range and thus at no risk to himself.

ZenithirFeb 20, 20162 votes

Jhin would struggle against a late morde though. Most build rylai's and unless he can get a W snare off morde will just walk up and flatten him with a Q.

Hey Mettle i just played Mordekaiser and....well wtf. Rek'Sai came to my lane with say 3/4th of her health and my 3rd Q turned her into an example of modern art...at lvl 5.

I take back my words of Morde being nearly useless but he does have health/cc issues.

That said, i did build Rylai which was useful for 1v1 and chasing.

Malicious MetalFeb 18, 20161 votes

Yeah, Mordekaiser is in a far better spot than people make you believe. Him lacking in base stats makes him kinda bad when behind though seeing that his shield's based on damage dealt and he can't afford to build damage when behind.

RendarkanFeb 19, 20161 votes

I tend to use item 3115 when I get him on ARAM. It helps him crack his Q's faster plus... I believe he also benefits from its passive I'm not sure.

I do now realize though... GP can get heals off shooting his own barrels.

Over InnsmouthFeb 19, 20161 votes

I hate her, but I respect you.

RendarkanFeb 19, 20161 votes

If it's any consolation I don't build that tank abomination. Usually when I play her my build goes something like... item 3153 item 3031 item 3074 item 3071 item 3065 item 3742

Sahn UzalFeb 19, 20161 votes

I hate you slightly less now. :'3 summoner 31

Over InnsmouthFeb 19, 20162 votes

That looks far healthier (both meta-wise and because of the lifesteal stack).

I understand that not all of Fiora's issues come from her hilariously overloaded (personal opinion) kit, and that at least half can be chalked up to berserk itemization (looking at you item 3748 item 3053 ), but you understand our woes in that she's hardly killable especially with Sterak's and Titanic - while still dealing %hp true damage that you can't itemize against, I hope. In turn, I understand that playing mADC's without building at least a little defensive is a silly idea, unless you're Tryndamere who can simply become unkillable for five fartknocking seconds.

I'd call it more a problem with items than a problem with Fiora, personally, but she still has Champion-specific issues. (Then again I main Vlad, and he's a dirty, cancerous wart that just grows and grows as the game goes on).

RendarkanFeb 19, 20161 votes

My build stems from when you ulted and could outright kill them and get the 5 second heal. Basically I made her so that if they turned to run at low health I ult and dash into the closest vital and go from there. I played her pre rework and my build really didn't change much minus the Deadman's.

I feel personally if you can kill them without hitting all four vitals then her ult is useless unless they are running at low HP. build her straight tank and you handicap her kill ability. Granted this is a place where you can build how you want but it's far more engaging to build to your kit and build to counter your opponent. I play alot of ARAM so its a different world but I usually look at the opposing team and pick an item to set up to counter them like item 3211 against an AP heavy or if I need to be aggressive item 3751 .

When it comes down to it its good to build to how you want but abusing certain items on certain champions (looking at you Graves with Steraks.) causes the class it was designed for to suffer. Another prime example is Cinderhulk and Sejuani.
