League of Legends Mordekaiser Guide

Mordekaiser is one of the toughest DPS champions in the game, but I tend to build him more tanky. His damage output is still very good and with this item build he becomes extremely hard to kill and can 1v2 squishier champs. Mace of Spades helps him lane and also can dish out a lot of damage in team fights, but is also great 1v1 because of the single target damage boost. Creeping Death is a great shield, and at high levels it is like walking around with a free Sunfire Cape. Siphon of Destruction is a fantastic ability that makes Mordekaiser dominate the laning phase and gives him a huge amount of shield. His ultimate, Children of the Grave, can get you double or triple kills if you get one of the enemy team’s fed champions with it.

This is my standard skill build. It allows me to annihilate minions in early game and keep the enemies at their tower and/or away from exp. Feel free to adjust it to your playstyle or to what the current match requires.

For my rune’s, I like to get all Magic Penetration for Red, all Dodge for Yellow, all Magic Resist for Blue and Health Quintessences.

I start out with Siphon of Destruction simply because it is by far the best early game ability Mordeaksier can get. It deals out great damage at level 1 and is a good AoE for minion waves or early game ganks. I don’t invest much in Creeping Death until later because, while it is a strong ability, I just don’t usually find myself in situations where it would turn the tide of a fight until late game. Mace of Spades is fantastic for cleaning up minion waves after Siphon of Destruction, and with those two abilties combined you can usually wipe out an entire wave.

For Summoner abilities, I get Ghost and Ignite. Ghost is great for ganking and escaping, and is easily the most versatile Summoner Spell in the game. I get Ignite, too, because, combined with Children of the Grave, it destroys enemy champions.
