Mordekaiser has ridiculously low HP for a Mid-frontliner

For a champion that is required to position relatively forward where he needs to be able to soak a lot of damage, Morde is inexcusably squishy. Morde is one of the lowest HP champions in the game.

So darius/garen/mordekaiser are the three 1 cost knights. Lets compare HP

Morde has 500/900/1800 [35 armor] Garen has 600/1080/2160 ** [35 armor]** Darius has 600/1080/2160 [25 armor]

Even champions with lower armor stats have more HP Warwick (30 armor) 600/1080/2160

Might I add, he is also quite essential for any phantom composition.

His power is shoved into the phantom synergy.

For a sec I didn't realize this was about TFT and I was very confused haha...

But yeah, looking at the stats he probably should have a bit more health. Given the armor values, he's probably about as tanky as Darius, but Darius is effectively more tanky because of his healing from his spin, so a bit more hp is probably reasonable.

I've won several games investing items into him.

However, if I have a choice, I do NOT put him right in the front line. I put him in the middle line so he eventually takes damage but has a chance to get his swings in and get rolling. If you put him front and center he certainly gets focused down too fast.

If you hadnt noticed, all of the phantom units are aggressively mediocre. Phantom is extraordinarily strong for a 2 unit bonus. Simply the price you pay.

aye and the phantom buff is probably the most broken thing in the game.

darius needs 6 other imperials to get his guaranteed double damage buff but all you need for morde is a kindred which isn't hard and you basically delete an enemy unit at the start.
