Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Mordekaiser's sustain and consistent damage output overwhelming your burst windows.
- Post-6 becomes even more difficult as his R removes your ability to use minions for mobility and escape routes.
How to Trade
- You need to use your full Q combo with animation cancels to burst him quickly, then immediately disengage with E before he can proc passive or land his abilities.
- Short trades with W stun to interrupt his Q are your only viable pattern.
Wave Control
- You should freeze waves near your tower to force him to overextend for farm, making him vulnerable to jungle ganks since he lacks mobility.
- Avoid pushing into him as he controls longer trades and can zone you from CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to take extended trades or let him proc his passive, as his sustain and DPS will overwhelm your burst damage.
- Don't use your E aggressively without having Q charges available to escape his E pull range.
