Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Mordekaiser's superior base damage and ability to trade with Q while building passive stacks.
- At level 6, you gain a significant advantage as your R allows you to outplay his R in the death realm and heal through his damage.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves using Q to proc vitals while weaving in and out of his range, then using W to parry his E pull or Q damage.
- You must avoid extended trades early and focus on short burst trades around vital procs until you have items.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower early to avoid his all-in potential and jungle ganks.
- Once you have items and levels, you can look to build larger waves and use your mobility to create side lane pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W preemptively or waste it on his Q poke - save it specifically for his E pull which sets up his full combo.
- Avoid fighting in his passive AOE damage zone during extended trades, especially early game when you lack sustain.
