Mordekaiser ... A Support?

Hey there, Master Fledgling here.

I need to run back to class in a few minutes, but lemme pitch you Morde Support real quick.

Mordekaiser Support:

The good:

+Free Poke +Can go tanky, damage, AP or AD (Can go AD via Gunblade, not optimal past that point) +Turns bot lane fights 2 v 2's into 3 v 1's +Pushes towers HARD +Can buff carry's defense often and helps move speed for kiting +Passive is twice as good with two targets to hit +Not hampered by getting a sight stone like some other support mages (Needs HP for spells after all.) +Auto attack reset and extender, to help clear wards faster and relic shield farm minions from afar +Can become a late game monster if he gets enough farm or ults an enemy AP or AD carry, both benefiting him.

The bad:

-No peel or formal CC -No heal for the carry (But a shield after Face of the Mountain's completion) -Needs a few items before truly helpful (But can work on a budget) -Very immobile unless skilled with creeping death, and even then immobile -Pizza feet

Due to supports getting less than usual gold (But much more nowadays than earlier seasons) A build for him might be:

item 3401 item 2045 item 3023 item 3146 item 3020 item 3135

All of these are very cheap items, Sans the Gunblade (Which you only need the cutlass part at first to get the active CC out of. No need to complete it until later, but the hextech revolver can be built for the extra sustain early.)

If you have gold laying around somehow, grab a item 3116 and item 3089 to up your damage and CC game.

Lemme know what you think.

Sincerely, HUE,

-MF

the issue is you have no CC of any kind, you might as well go kat or yi and have some mobility instead of morde. the enemy team can just lock down your ADC and you have nothing for peel

Please don't... I'm not saying you'll never win games with it but....

If I were jungling I would never gank for you, because you have a lane with almost no utility. Granted you may be lucky enough to have a Jinx.

For you to keep your shield up you would need to take more CS than fotm can cover. So you'll either take CS or have no shield, either way it's bad.

Mainly the issue isn't that he can't, the issue is he is so much worse at it than any other support that you will be setting yourself at a totally unnecessary disadvantage.

I've been able to win around 70% of my "support" games going as a Mordekaiser in Platinum. It probably wouldn't be effective at a higher level at play, but going as a support with him is fun and is simple enough to win the lane. YOU just need to have an AD that understands how to position themselves. Start with a Relic Shield and three HP pots. Use the Relic Shield procs as a weak heal for your AD. At level 6 you should be able to go all in.

Just no. It's a Really bad idea. Mordekaiser shares farm with no one.
