🟢 Strengths 1️⃣ Powerful 1v1 Dueling & Isolated Fights ✅ Passive – Darkness Rise deals high AoE damage and grants movement speed, making him a great skirmisher. ✅ Ultimate (R) isolates a target, making him one of the strongest duelists in the game. ✅ Strong against immobile melee champions like Darius, Nasus, and Garen. 2️⃣ High Sustain & Tankiness ✅ W (Indestructible) provides a shield & healing, allowing Mordekaiser to survive long fights. ✅ Naturally tanky with items like Riftmaker, Jak’Sho, or Spirit Visage. ✅ Can absorb poke damage with W and out-sustain opponents. 3️⃣ Strong AP Damage with Magic Pen Build ✅ Q (Obliterate) does massive single-target damage when hitting only one enemy. ✅ Mordekaiser’s damage scales well into mid and late game. ✅ Passive deals AoE damage, making him a threat in team fights. 4️⃣ Great at Forcing Objectives & Fighting Around Them ✅ Can solo objectives like Dragon & Baron thanks to his healing and shield. ✅ Can zone key carries with R in fights around Dragon/Baron. ✅ Strong in front-to-back team fights when played properly. 5️⃣ Simple but Effective Kit ✅ No mana, so he can keep fighting without resource management. ✅ Straightforward gameplay – land abilities, use R to isolate a key target. ✅ Beginner-friendly, yet has outplay potential for skilled players. 🔴 Weaknesses 1️⃣ Lack of Mobility & Kiting Issues 📌 Problem: Mordekaiser has no dashes or escapes, making him easy to kite. ❌ Weak Against: Vayne, Kayle, Cassiopeia, Ashe, Lulu (peel & slows). ✅ Solution: • Flash + Ghost for mobility. • Use R on ranged carries before they can kite you. • Engage only when you have Passive active for movement speed. 2️⃣ Struggles Against Hard CC & Disengage 📌 Problem: If Mordekaiser gets CC’d, he loses his momentum and can be bursted down. ❌ Weak Against: Janna, Lulu, Vex, Poppy, Alistar (hard disengage & CC). ✅ Solution: • Build Tenacity items (Merc Treads, Jak’Sho, Spirit Visage). • Use W’s shield to absorb CC burst. • Wait for enemies to use CC before engaging. 3️⃣ Weak Early Game Against Strong Lane Bullies 📌 Problem: Mordekaiser struggles against champions who can poke or trade better early. ❌ Weak Against: Fiora, Aatrox, Renekton, Olaf (strong early duelists). ✅ Solution: • Play safe and farm until Level 6 power spike. • Maximize passive uptime for extended trades. • Rush Plated Steelcaps or early defensive items if behind. 4️⃣ Can Be Useless in Late-Game Team Fights If He Picks the Wrong Target 📌 Problem: If Mordekaiser ults the wrong enemy, he leaves enemy carries untouched. ✅ Solution: • Ult enemy carries or high-value targets (not tanks unless necessary). • If you can’t reach carries, R the enemy frontline to eliminate them first. • Save R for key team fights instead of wasting it in small skirmishes.
