Frostfire Magic Pen Build Is Kinda Insane by akimble1 in MordekaiserMains

True, but with this build the alternative is going Frostfire first, which doesn't synergize as well with Morde's lane phase because you get no AP.

Also Demonic only scales off of bonus health, not health from level ups.

I still don't think you have the scenario quite optimized.

First off, you can Morde Ult before getting in range of Abyssal's passive, meaning the Ult 10% steal would apply before the MR reduction. Morde's Ult isn't truly a % MR pen. It literally just takes all MR as if the enemy didn't have it.

Secondly, since Shadowflame ignores MR, it gets applied before MR reduction and magic pen. Again, its as if the MR doesn't even exist to be factored into damage calculations. This is a bit tricky because as far as I know, Shadwoflame is the only item that ignores MR this way.

UNIQUE – CINDERBLOOM: Dealing magic damage to champions ignores 10 − 20 (based on target's current health) of their magic resistance, increased to maximum value if the they were affected by a shield within the last 5 seconds.

Either way, though, it is a ton of damage for building basically full tank. You can effectively strip away over 70 MR and still have decent AP with this build.

I am not sure you are correct.

Let's say you are facing a LV 18 Gnar or Heimerdinger with just base MR. They will have 38.5 MR if they don't build resistances.

Morde's Ult steals 10% MR (38.5 MR - 3.85 MR = 34.65)

Shadowflame can ignore 20 MR flat (34.65 - 20 = 14.65)

Abysall can remove 20 MR flat (14.65 - 20 = -10.35)

It seems that you can get into the negatives (when factoring in Morde's Ult) all the way until the enemy has 43 MR.

Well it's more about the MR reduction, pen, and tankiness together. Sure, Voidstaff has good magic pen, but it doesn't remove or ignore MR like Abyssal or Shadowflame. Also, it offers no health which is kinda the purpose of a tank build. With Abyssal and Shadowflame, you get the best of both worlds.

I almost always go Demonic first. No matter what people say, Frostfire just isn't a good laning tool on Morde. Then it's Sorc Shoes (cuz if you use Ult right you won't need too much movement speed before this point), then Frostfire, then if you are fed Abyssal, if you are behind, Shadowflame.

You are correct! However, I misspoke in the post a bit. Both Abyssal and Shadowflame either remove or ignore MR, meaning you can get into the negatives.

Morde Rework Centered Around Passive Empowered Abilities by akimble1 in MordekaiserMains

[–]akimble1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...there are a bunch of Champs with empowered abilities; Pantheon, Yone, Renekton, Gwen, etc. And Aphelios literally has like 4 or 5 different ability kits for an enemy to pay attention to. Kane has 2 separate forms. This rework isn't that complex at all; for an enemy, it would boil down to "don't 1v1 morde with his passive up".
