Mordekaiser, armored undead warlord
Laning Phase Tips:
- Disengage immediately when Mordekaiser activates his W shield
- Keep minion waves closer to your turret to force him to overextend
- Exercise caution after level 6 due to his increased kill pressure with Ultimate (R)
- Exploit his weak pre-level 3 phase with heavy poke
Strategic Counter Play:
- Ward flanks to prevent surprise engages
- Capitalize when his E (pull) is on cooldown
- Avoid major objectives (Baron/Dragon) when he has Ultimate available
- Purchase Quicksilver Sash (QSS) if you're a carry champion
Key Power Spikes to Watch:
- Level 3: Gains strong all-in potential
- Level 6: Ultimate ability significantly increases threat level
- Teamfight phase: Becomes particularly dangerous for carries
Teamfight Approach:
- Position carefully to avoid his E pull
- Track his Ultimate cooldown
- Focus him down when his key abilities are on cooldown
- Maintain proper spacing to avoid his isolation damage
