Who Wins

  • You lose most pre-6 trades due to Mordekaiser's range advantage and sustain from W, while you lack gap closers and healing.
  • Post-6 becomes even worse as his R traps you in a 1v1 where he steals your stats and you can't use your mobility or resets to escape.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to dodge his E pulls and trade with short auto-Q-auto combos when his abilities are on cooldown, then immediately back off.
  • Never commit to extended trades since his passive proc and W healing will out-sustain your damage output.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and giving up CS when necessary, as you scale better into teamfights than he does.
  • Look for opportunities to roam mid or jungle once you have items, since you can't realistically kill him in lane without significant jungle help.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't get caught by his E pull as it guarantees he lands his full combo and passive proc, leading to massive damage and healing from W.
  • Avoid fighting him post-6 unless you're significantly ahead, as his R completely negates your mobility advantage and stat-checks you.
