Mordekaiser Counters

The best champs not in lane to counter Mordekaiser include Zeri, Kai'Sa, and Tristana. These champs are all great at countering Mordekaiser with decent win rates over 52%. Even if these Mordekaiser counter picks are not used in your lane, it's not smart to take him into these matchups. They will very likely crush Mordekaiser.

Conversely, if the enemy team brings either Lillia or Teemo, Mordekaiser mains should seriously consider selecting him, as he easily wins against these selections with win rates over 55% against each ofthem.

Mordekaiser is quite immobile, making him a potential target for early game pressure. He struggles when set back, especially in the early game, where he won't be able to dish out significant damage. Take advantage of this by coordinating with your jungler for early ganks.

Playing against Mordekaiser, you should aim to capitalize on his weak early game by playing safe for the first few levels. Over-aggression can turn the tide in his favor, so wait until you're certain of your early advantage before initiating fights.

If Mordekaiser misses his E ability, it presents an excellent opportunity to engage on him. Without his E, he can't displace the enemy team, making it safer for you to all-in him. Keep a sharp eye on his ability usage and seize the moment when he makes a mistake.

Purchasing early Grievous Wounds can help you counter Mordekaiser's high sustain given by his W ability. This strategy will help even out duels during the early game and limit his healing capability, mitigating his advantage in extended trades.

Mordekaiser's Ultimate R is a crucial component of his kit, giving him a significant power spike at level 6. However, without it, he lacks kill pressure. Try to engage on him when his ultimate is on cooldown to maximize your advantage.

After level 9, Mordekaiser becomes a considerable threat due to the increased damage and survivability from his first ability. Watch out for his increased fighting efficiency, especially if he's collected multiple items during the mid-game phase.

Mordekaiser is a significant tank and damage dealer in the late game. Focus him down quickly in team fights to mitigate his impact. If he starts to get ahead, avoid fighting him in a 1 v 1. Instead, focus on objective control and team play to catch him out of position.
