I figured it was about time I got down to answer some questions coming from you guys. Be it builds, strategies, which skin's the best or simply random stuff.

I'll be checking this thread in about an hour or so but until then just ask me your most pressing questions.

Cheers! Malicious Metal

I'd have to say it's a toss up between fire and earth

But if we talk Chemistry I'd say Ferrum

Interesting, I would say water for me as though you have solids and liquids with water but I'm pretty sure that you are making a joke because fire+earth=metal :p

I could have made an iced earth joke but it would be too far fetched^^ https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a3/TheDarkSaga.jpg/220px-TheDarkSaga.jpg

How do you like your weapons? Also, how many times do i need to click?

Malicious Metal7 votes

I like my weapons how I like my Music. Smooth Jazz.

You only need to click as many times as it takes to win the game.

What do you like about Mordekaiser? He's one of the champions in the game that never really made sense to me, even less so now after his "rework"

What is it about Mordekaiser (or you as a person) that allows you to stick with Morde despite Riot's treatment of him? I have lost favorite champions when Riot decided to shoe-horn them into a different role (Nidalee and Gragas became junglers, then were repeatedly nerfed), and haven't adjusted to their playstyle since. How have you been able to stick with Mordekaiser through everything?

What would you like to see in a proper Morde rework? (EDIT I just realized you wrote this thread

Thanks

Malicious Metal7 votes

I love Mordekaiser's theme and character. He's League's version of Sauron, the quintessential Dark Lord character. He's the type of guy who doesn't need mobility or CC to beat you, he's coming for you and you better get the hell away from him. He's an unstoppable Juggernaut and him being affiliated to Metal is awesome.

Maybe I'm a masochist? Seriously though, it's more of me having been disappointed in how Riot treated Morde and his Playerbase. For them it would have been like any other rework, former mains moving on and newer ones finding interest in the reworked champion. I just couldn't let that happen, I found it kinda disrespectful of Riot to disregard the hardcore main's opinion on the matter and just couldn't sit by how one of my favorite champions got completely warped. Anyways, it was also due to me seeing the good thing the rework brought about, like solidifying Morde as a "Juggernaut" and hoping for Riot to smoothen all the rough edges. Coal getting turned into diamonds, even though that's more of Taric's shtick.

So you play him for his thematics, not the gameplay?

Malicious Metal1 votes

A mix of both actually but his thematics were what made me pick him up in the first place.

So i have been getting into morde recently and i cant pinpoint a proper build path after i get Rylias. i used to start T-force but that isnt working out so mmuch. Mind helping me out :D

Malicious Metal2 votes

I had the exact same problem, trying to build into my gunblade after Rylais. By Midgame, where you'll be building your second main item, teamfights are way more common and you're going to need a way to keep yourself alive long enough to lay down your damage.

This is where item 3053 comes in! -Anti burst shield against fed enemies -500 health -Base AD increase gives you a huge powerspike on your Siphon and Mace of spades

And it's dirt cheap as well.

Metallica or Iron Maiden?

Malicious Metal2 votes

Ooof, that's a difficult question. I personally think Metallica's got more powerful songs while Maiden's better at telling stories with their songs.

Still, nothing comes close to the awesomeness that's Dio.

Evewynn1 votes

Good man. Now a Morde question.

I have been trying to go pure AP mid for the ult lulz, but it's been very difficult. I'm use to playing early Impact laners, and morde just cannot fight anyone early game. I simply poke and farm the best I can until mid game where the poor base stats don't mean as much.

Do you have any experience with this more Mage-focused morde style as of late, and do you have any advice? My current build is rush sorc boots, then rylai's, liandries, gunblade, ludens, then void staff. 18/12/0 masteries (taking death fire touch) with magic pen reds, flat armor yellows, scaling mr blues, and flat AP quints.

Malicious Metal2 votes

With MageMorde you're going to play a backline mage who counter engages when the enemy team tries to dive your backline. Try taking 18/0/12 instead for the increased regen, shields/heals as well as reduced summoner spell CD

Still, there's the option to maybe replace your void staff with a tanky option if the enemy doesn't stack a lot of MR. Maybe a Steraks will boost your survivability and damage output with your Q/E a tad without making the rest of your kit significantly weaker.

Alphadef1 votes

I remember seeing you get asked for builds and not include boots. I would assume that would be because which pair is situational?

Also, I kinda wonder how you would feel if someone "copied" you for another champion?

Malicious Metal2 votes

Yes, Boots are situational. My favorites are Sorcs though but depending on the matchup I might get Tabi, Mercs or Swifties.

If by copying me you mean trying to serve as a voice for that certain champion and player base. I personally think it's the best way to advocate changes and prompt meaningful discussion, it's less passive-aggressive and overall more professional to try and formulate decent arguments. There should be more people who try to keep things civil instead of making great Brand impersonations.

Ruin Lance1 votes

How should I go about fighting Fizz as Mord? It just seems like an impossible lane. If he even gets 1 kill then he gets the ability to dive me when I'm at near full health, and trading with him doesn't feel like a good idea because he usually just E's when I E. And also, do you mind if I add you on my EUW account?

Malicious Metal2 votes

Ah fizz. I find it actually not that hard of a lane. You just need to poke him down whenever E's off cool down, it's an instant cast Aoe Zone he can't possibly avoid without extremely enough timing of his own E and it's got a way lower cool down than his Trickster.

Taking grasp of the undying and zoning him from the minions is also a solid strategy, him being melee and having to go in to cs. W a minion to get a heal from it whenever he tries to cs is advised.

No, I wouldn't mind at all.

Ruin Lance1 votes

Alright, thanks. And one more question I forgot to ask. What do you think of Trinity Force on him? I've heard a lot of people say it's not good but a lot of people say otherwise.

Malicious Metal2 votes

It USED to be great on him in conjunction with a Steraks gage but ever since the Marksmen patch it's been rather gimpy on him. It simply offers too few of Morde's desired stats, no bulky health, no AP and no chunks of AD.

However, it does help with his kiting issues and the 330 damage sheen procs hurt like a B....

I personally think it's situational but works best in tankier builds where you rely more on the sheen procs than your other abilities.

Tribbles Foxfolk1 votes

@MM, I've got a couple for you.

  1. What made you fall so madly in love with Mordekaiser?
  2. How would put him right now in terms of viability vs. other bruisers?
  3. Do you agree that Mordekaiser's rework into a melee ADC that does magic damage was a total failure? 3a) If yes, then what parts of it failed, preferably with details? 3b) If not, then what parts of it succeeded, once again with details preferable?

Thanks if you read.

Malicious Metal4 votes
  1. It's a combination of his character, aesthetics, overall feel of the champ, his affiliation with Metal and him being the first champion I ever played.

  2. I'd say he's in a decent spot if you invest some time into learning him. He has a very powerful late game and can carry hard when paired with a decent team that can provide engage and cc

  3. It was a failure in a sense that they forced a champion into a role he's never been played in before while taking a dump on his solo lane. It was a great idea to try and promote a melee carry so that teams could take their marksmen jungle or top but they picked the wrong guy for that task. They should have released a champion fitted for that role instead of warping Morde's kit with unfair advantages up the ass.

3a) They failed at expanding on Morde's core themes and make him a true heavy Metal Juggernaut. Also, they should not have done this with an already existing champ.

3b) The idea was nice but the execution was a mess

Ultraboomer1 votes

Why do you max E instead of W, even though each rank of W makes it more and more efficient, with it being very inefficient to use at rank 1?

Also, because he does plenty of damage anyways, do you think this a good (or at least decent) build?Mordekaiser item 3742 item 3025 item 3065 item 3512 item 3083 (item 3047 item 3111 item 3158 ) because this is what I tend to be building in my games, and I feel like I still do plenty of damage. I end up getting a ton of shield from every E because it scales with health, and between the ZZ'Rot and the Iceborn Gauntlet I can do a lot of work splitpushing.

Malicious Metal3 votes

Short answer; E's more reliable. It has a low cool down, provides a burst of shield and doesn't fizzle when the minion on which his W latches on dies.

I think a DPS bruiser build's the way to go but Tank Morde does work decently well. I'd replace your Iceberg gauntlet with a Rylais though since it provides everything Mordekaiser needs. It's definitely a more utility/drain tank build and Morde is very versatile in terms of builds anyways.

How do you stay truly devoted to one champion? Does maining one champion get boring after a while?

Malicious Metal2 votes

To be completely honest, it does get boring from time to time so I just play something else for a game or two. But at the end of the day I'll come back to playing Mordekaiser.

It's mostly due to his design and play style resonating with me and me just loving to prove people wrong about these underrated champs.

D3m37r11 votes

1)Do you ever miss playing Mordekaiser mid , building full ap and just blowing up a squishy in seconds late game?(because i do)

  1. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate his solo lane viability (preferably mid).
  2. Which version of Mordekaiser would you prefer? Juggernaut or pre juggernaut?
  3. Do you miss dfg?
  4. On old Mordekaiser did u build item 3152 or item 3146 . I preferred item 3146 but i always saw everyone build item 3152 6)Mordekaiser Hue?
Malicious Metal2 votes
  1. I do. It may not have been my favorite build since I used to play him as an ap bruiser top but if I ever felt down I rolled full ap heavy metal assassin mid.

  2. Mid lane's highly matchup dependent so I can't give something higher than a solid six.

  3. Both had their perks but I believe a "true" Juggernaut Morde would appeal to me more, seeing that I like playing tanky champs

  4. Hello darkness my old friend..... :'(

  5. I Used to build Gunblade but after the Mage item pass and the changes to WoTA I build the will simply because it was cheaper.

  6. Hue!

What do u think of dis op Morde build? item 3042 item 3040 item 3027 item 3110 item 3025 item 3146

Absolutely broken. You see, Morse's actually Ryze in a suit of armor.

What is the best build for Morde in a solo lane? And for bot lane? Thanks

Malicious Metal1 votes

they're usually very similar but duo lane builds can be more offensive.

AstralEclipse221 votes

Sure, but what is the build? ^^ Sorry if it wasn´t clear, i would like build suggestions

Malicious Metal1 votes

No, it's my fault, I typed that one on my phone and was very minimalistic.

Solo Lane Mordekaiser build's usually something like this; item 3116 item 3053 item 3146 item 3065 item 3157

If you were to play him in a duo lane you might want to swap your SV with a Rabbaddons or something more AP-centric.

AstralEclipse221 votes

Thanks, and what about boots? I suppose every boot can be usefull, bar Berserkers OFC. Am I right?
