Laning Phase Tips:

  • Disengage immediately when Mordekaiser activates his W shield
  • Keep minion wave close to your tower to force him to overextend
  • Be extra cautious after level 6 due to his ultimate's kill pressure
  • Exploit his low mobility in early game
  • Harass heavily before level 3 when he's most vulnerable

Strategic Counters:

  • Ward side bushes to prevent flank attacks
  • Capitalize when his E (pull ability) is on cooldown
  • Avoid major objectives (Baron/Dragon) when he has ultimate available
  • Maintain safe positioning to avoid his ultimate isolation
  • Carry champions should build Quicksilver Sash (QSS) for ultimate counter

Key Power Spikes to Watch:

  • Level 3: Gains strong all-in potential
  • Level 6: Ultimate ability drastically increases kill threat
  • Teamfight phase: Becomes particularly dangerous for carries

Team Fight Approach:

  • Focus him when his E is on cooldown
  • Keep track of his ultimate cooldown
  • Position away from his engagement range
  • Coordinate with team to combat his isolation ultimate
  • Prioritize peeling for carries when he engages
