Introduction
Mordekaiser is a really weird champion. This latest iteration was Riot’s attempt to recreate the meta by building him into a botlane juggernaut, so he has a bunch of odd features like the ability to control Dragons, gain extra experience when with a support and building Relic Shield first. Unfortunately, he’s not a good bot laner and will lose in the vast majority of cases, which leads to him mainly being played top. This means he doesn’t get to benefit from any of his gimmicks. He’s just relegated to the list of forgotten champions.
Mordekaiser is a juggernaut who has good dueling skills and good pushing power.
Unfortunately, he’s really easy to take control of. In this guide, I’ll teach you how to become the master in any lane he’s in.
