i really wish riot made some kind of video to help explain how it works can anyone give me some examples of what to do. i also have a friend i can duo with so any good duo bot comps.
is he a support now or can we just break the meta entirely and just go mord and a supp or something
heres how it works its simple. ban or dodge or lose or get him and win. thats exactly how to play him
Morde is primarily intended to be an "ADC replacement" played along with, not as, a support.
His W gives him several things that push this plan.
The first is the more important part of making him the "ADC" instead of the support. If he is supporting, the passive will end up largely wasted. The second part is the biggest single reason (but not necessarily the only) he is now weaker in a solo lane.
When I have played Morde since the rework (not much yet), I prefer a heavy CC, initiating support, such as Blitzcrank, Leona, Nautilus, Thresh, Alistar. As usual, the support will drive the flow of the lane, and you need to be ready to follow up on any catches you get. The biggest weakness I have seen is a vulnerability to poke and less ability to whittle down turrets in a siege with a few AAs here and there that a traditional ADC has. This can, of course, be worked around with other picks on your team.
Morde's E is actually longer range than ranged AAs, so you can use that to your advantage in trades to start off with some shield. Speaking of shield, it is the key to trading in lane. If you can get good shield generation, you can negate the start of the trade damage.
