How to Use Mordekaiser Counter Data

This page works out who Mordekaiser loses to and who it beats, using live ranked Top lane matchup data. At present the hardest lane opponents are Anivia, Heimerdinger, and Cassiopeia, where Mordekaiser has its weakest win rates in the current dataset. Anivia is the most effective counter: Mordekaiser wins only 39.1% of its 184 logged games against her. In the other direction, Mordekaiser does well against Maokai, Wukong, and Trundle, so those are the safer matchups to take.

Every card displays Mordekaiser’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it is based on. A win rate built on tens of thousands of games carries much more weight than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come straight from the win rate: under 48% is marked Hard, over 52% is marked Easy. They only help with reading the numbers and are not a separate statistic from the source. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, is currently from patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. A counter pick is only part of the decision, so also review the current Mordekaiser build for the best items and runes, or visit the Mordekaiser champion page for ability details and the full breakdown.
