Mordekaiser Mid, patch 16.11. Below you'll find Mordekaiser's build, runes, toughest counters, strongest duos, and win conditions, every number measured from current-patch Emerald+ ranked games.
Mordekaiser is an AP juggernaut in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a situational pick — a 51.6% win rate, 0.2% pick rate, 1,888 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Mordekaiser is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.
How Mordekaiser wins: splitpushing a side lane and forcing the enemy to answer it, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 8/10 split-push, 7/10 waveclear. Mordekaiser's soft spots are siege and mobility (3/10, 2/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.
