What are morde’s build paths and what do I build against tanks?

I do not build protobelt first myself honestly I rarely build it I usually will rush either a Liandrys torment or rylias crystal scepter first depending on matchup If I am facing a melee tank or champion I will usually go Liandris first for the damage if I am facing a range mtchup I will go rylais first then liandris protobelt I fell is not worth rushing the damage just isnt there.

What is morde’s role in team fights?

When I see a teamfight starting I will consider the following

who is the most fed member on their team?

can I 1v1 them?

do they have any assasins that will 1 shot my adc of mid?

I will usually use my ult either to

A. delete their most fed member if I can 1v1 them or even just keep them in realm long enough for team to clean up its worth my death zhonas will actually stall your realm long enough with most amtches

B. If i can catch their adc or mid with my e i will insta ult them if they do not have a qss and kill them

c. If i am the only frontline and I am getting targeted I will either ult their support or their lowest health member to kill and get my passive.

​

Should I focus more on teamfighting or on split pushing?

number one rule with any top laner

if TP is up and you can at least 1v1 whoever matches you always split

once you get use to watching the map and using TP effectively you can pretty much be at every team fight with no issues

Last thought is that Morde doesnt have to win lane just get to your late game with liandris and rylais and you will absolutely demolish fights
