Mordekaiser

Mordekaiser is an AP juggernaut in the top, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 51.1% win rate, 4.8% pick rate, 56,353 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.

The most-played core build is Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Riftmaker, Liandry's Torment, which holds a 56.9% win rate across 2,209 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Nilah, where Mordekaiser sits at just 38.5%, the lane swings the other way into Mel (60.1%), and on the team side, Mordekaiser gains the most from a Gwen (+6.8% pair win rate).
