Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 through superior range with Q poke and W silence preventing Mordekaiser's full combo execution.
- Post-6 the matchup shifts heavily in Mordekaiser's favor as his R isolates you from minion sustain while his passive healing and shield generation outscale your damage output.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves landing Q from max range, following with W to silence and prevent retaliation, then backing away before Mordekaiser can engage with E pull.
- Never commit to extended trades as his passive healing and shield generation will always favor longer engagements.
Wave Control
- Focus on slow pushing waves to build minion advantages for safer Q angles, then crash and recall to avoid Mordekaiser's all-in windows.
- Avoid freezing as it puts you in extended trade range where his sustain and DPS advantage becomes overwhelming.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight in Mordekaiser's Death Realm without significant item or level advantages, as you lose access to minion healing from your passive while he gains full stats.
- Avoid using E aggressively for poke as it removes your only escape tool when he lands E pull.
