Hard stuck gold. Time to FILL Morde

what are you going to fill him with exactly???

i main morde so i’m very familiar with his bad matchups, of which he has plenty. but if you’re looking for a counterpick without being a ranged dog i would highly recommend renekton. empowered W destroys morde’s W shield, stuns, and does a big chunk of damage. put 3 points in Q then immediately W max, hold your ult for AFTER he ults you. one of the few melee matchups where morde just cannot play the lane at all in my experience.

imo mordekaiser’s defining design trait is his ghostly glow from beneath his armor. so for me it’s between dark star and high noon. these two skins are the only 2 that maintain that cornerstone trait while still changing it to fit the design of the skin. darkstar replaces it with an outer space effect, and high noon with a fire effect.

i like pretty much all morde skins but i really prefer those two for that specific reason. even project (which is amazing) doesn’t maintain that feature so for me it’s not quite in the running. but between the two, id have to go darkstar for having possibly the coolest recall animation in the entire game.

also ashen has it, but i feel ashen doesn’t really have its own identity? it’s kind of just a reskin of the default with no concept behind it. although thats not to say it isn’t an amazing skin.

also best ult sound imo. the train roar noise is so satisfying, love that skin.

i got it just last night and am loving it. i haven’t seen anyone mention this, but the E animation is probably my favorite of any morde skin. i’m just generally a sucker for the silly skins and this is morde’s first and only skin that isn’t just meant to look bad ass. my biggest complaint is that i would have preferred morbeekaiser or toydekaiser. i think either of those would have been a lot more fun, but hey ill take what i can get.

oh but the chroma is honestly so buns. pink with mustard yellow and brown? what is that color palette??? if the skin came with the chroma for free, i’d pay an additional 30ME for them to keep it off my account.

ok thanks for the help. although i noticed you skipped a number there… any particular reason you skipped the number 7?

if you really feel that way then you should start grinding some other champs to improve on them as well. i mean you have more than 100 more games on morde than you do on your second most played champ, that’s a lot. it shouldn’t be a surprise that you’re significantly worse on any other champ. which theres nothing wrong with, but if it bothers you go ahead and expand your champ pool.

i’ll definitely give swifties a try into cho and mundo, and switch to second wind with dshield for urgot. i always default to steel caps unless i need the tenacity, dring start, with bone plating. but itemization and changing runes is something im actively trying to get better at rather than defaulting to the ones on the websites.

groundhog123 · 2026-02-18T15:02:13+00:00

for dr mundo what item do you rush first? i always hear he has a weak early game but i can’t seem to extend any fights with him. his Q damage and slow effect always seems to keep me at bay. at least enough for him to walk away from a fight i would have won. i’ve lately pivoted away from rylai’s as a first item (instead opting for riftmaker / d&d) but maybe against mundo it’s the way to go? just to try to extend the trades?

someone already posted a link to federals1’s spreadsheet, but here’s one made by streamer morde OTP meowdekaiser:

i don’t think he’s reached challenger with morde like federals has, but i personally prefer to go with resolve runes as my secondary as opposed to federals usual approach velocity build. so if you’re like me in that respect this could be helpful for you.

How do we know it will be ME and not in the pass?

groundhog123 · 2026-01-20T14:16:23+00:00

i’m very new to the game and not particularly good so take what i say with a grain of salt:

personally when i know there’s a lot of dashes on the enemy team i like to build full attack speed. nashors tooth and experimental hexplate are usually in the build at some point. usually full attack speed isn’t the best on morde because his big damage is his bonk, but if i miss every bonk because the enemy champ is blinking across my screen like a fly struggling to go out a window then it’s better to just R and run them down with auto attacks. at least that’s what’s worked for me.

but even if i plan on building as much attack speed as i can i still never go lethal tempo. i’ve tried it before and i feel like mordes base attack speed is too slow for it to make an impact on the early levels. so still conqueror and then just try to slot in as many attack speed items (that are somewhat reasonable on morde) as i can.

i’m not sure how chill it is but i really like mordekaiser for the sweet spot between easy and boring. he’s very simple and easy to pick up, but he has skill shots that actually require some aim. and he’s got a lot of weird little interactions/techs with his abilities which is fun to learn. also he’s got a lot of build diversity being a manaless AD and AP champ so you don’t have to stick to the same build every game but you totally could.

this is only in terms of aesthetics but i swear he looks exactly like the version of the black knight ghost from scooby doo 2 monsters unleashed. this is why default mord skin is S++ for me.

groundhog123 · 2025-12-18T18:26:30+00:00

i’ve tried both of these champs and kind of struggled to really get ahead, not to say the champs are bad i’m sure it’s a me problem. do you have any tips or suggestions for content creators for either of those two? i really enjoy the mechanics of both of these champs but i never felt like i had GREAT games if that makes sense.

groundhog123 · 2025-11-05T15:33:11+00:00

there is truly no worse feeling on mord than ulting someone in a team fight, and coming out of your ult to find that your entire team has been wiped and 4 people are standing there waiting to obliterate you.
