Who Wins
- You can win short trades pre-6 by poking with Q variants and using W for mobility when Mordekaiser tries to engage, but avoid extended fights where his passive activates.
- Post-6 becomes extremely difficult as his R removes your kiting advantage and you lack the DPS to match his stat-stealing.
How to Trade
- Poke with max range Q abilities while staying behind minions to avoid E-pulls, then immediately use W movement ability to create distance.
- Never commit to extended trades - hit your abilities and disengage before he can proc passive.
Wave Control
- Maintain distance and farm with abilities while keeping the wave in the center or slightly pushed to avoid ganks.
- Avoid freezing as it puts you in E-pull range, and don't hard push without vision since you're vulnerable to jungle pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in melee range without W available for escape, as Mordekaiser will run you down with passive procs.
- Avoid using your mobility abilities aggressively for poke when his E is available, as getting pulled means certain death.
