Mordekaiser's inspiration:

Iron is in blood, but blood isn't in iron. Therefore, blood is superior.

Puns are better than Heavy Metal references. This is not an opinion, this is a fact.

Rylai's-Senpai likes me more because I'm not an AD-scaling heathen.

Soulstealer Vladimir > actual soul-stealing Mordekaiser.

Vlad has a legendary skin. Mordekaiser does not.

Vlad is sexier (than every champion).

Thank you for your time. I hope you too can join the Blood Church and praise our lord and savior Vladimeme.

Don't know if it's worth to write up another essay why Mordekaiser is in fact way superior to Vlad.

But I'm way too busy healing more, dealing more damage and getting more tanky than any Vlad mid. So there's that.

Mordekaiser's Inspiration http://img07.deviantart.net/e6ef/i/2013/017/f/3/sauron__the_lord_of_the_rings_by_callthistragedy1-d5ru2gq.png

Blood may not be in Iron but Iron manages to draw blood and spill it. Even the most brittle Iron knife can pierce feeble flesh, now imagine a huge Spiked Mace beating any blood based creature into a bloody, lifeless pulp

Every single Metal song can be seen as an Ode to Mordekaiser, a hymn to his grandeur, not even silly puns can reach the level of epicness that is Dio telling of an unholy being sent to conquer all

Rylais loves Morde more, they're inseparable, and she told me she prefers the larger Mace to small blood spheres :^)

Vlad needs a Skin to steal Souls, something Morde can do on his own, and even to greater effect.

VladXVayne? Please, Morde just enslaves her and make her his B*tch

And those Abs http://orig00.deviantart.net/be7a/f/2014/149/e/2/mordekaiser_pentakill_by_aaa_nymphea-d7k9h7j.jpg

Vlad might have a legendary skin but Morde's got better VO In his original skin as well as having some of the coolest skins, while vlad gets cheap recolors and tomato bloodballs

Mordekaiser is way more sexy than Vlad, he's the kind of guy who steals your girl and makes you watch And you wouldn't even be mad

And Mordekaiser's actually more viable :^) How's that 43% win rate?

I ship VladxJhin and VladxElise. VladxJinx is also picking up steam for me.

Jhin Red IS a primary color!

Over InnsmouthOct 15, 20166 votes

Exactly! They're also sociopaths with a fascination for their art at the cost of human lives (of course they don't care) and they're the "outcasts" of their respective societies. Jhin is arguably even more alien than Zed or Syndra to the Ionians, even Zed hates him in canon, and Vladimir - even if he's in Swain's upper echelon and a higher-up in the Black Rose, still doesnt care about Noxian glory and just wants to further his art, all the while having fun with it.

It's a match made in lurid crimson!

I'm gonna be completely honest. I Love Vlad's character and Mord's awesome but all around GP's the best of the trio. Coolest VO, Nicest playstyle, Oranges, Beards, etc etc. Ryze still tops that with his Shirtlessness and cocky attitude, but GP is still great.

Mordekaiser Oh. A ninja. Time to kill it like the rest. Shen Hm? I wasn't aware the armory could speak. You'll eat those words, worm! (Q) Shen Tickles. I'm just getting started. (Q) Shen Itches. Then try THIS! (Q!!!) Shen (W) ... Shen ... ...you know it's up in 4 sec- Shen (E) Frothing at the helmet and attacking Shen mindlessly

Raid Boss MordeOct 15, 20164 votes

It's funny, because that's usually how their trades go. However, you're missing the part where Shen tries to hurt Morde but doesn't even scratch his shield :^)

MelledoneusOct 15, 20162 votes

%HP damage is great against Morde, though.

Raid Boss MordeOct 15, 20165 votes

It definitely is, but every time I've had this matchup, Shen hasn't been able to deal enough damage to win trades. When he does hit you with that %HP damage, you normally heal it back with W or R. Shen doesn't really have any damage besides his Q.

MelledoneusOct 16, 20162 votes

True. He is supposed to win early, but because Riot wanted to enforce the top lane sniper meta they nerfed him. I would like to see buffs for him, and maybe then he can become a decent pick rather than a situational pick.

(it's actually pretty hard to find mordekaiser memes) and say, with all the blood vlad takes, wouldn't he have at least 50 stds rn?

Over InnsmouthOct 15, 20163 votes

Sure, except that Vladimir is the latest in a line of blood mages who dedicate their lives to the art, and pass on their knowledge and expertise through blood to their successor. Vlad may very well contract various bloodborne ailments, but it's certainly within his power to purge them, if not cure them.
