User blog comment:Alonlah/Who is the best dueler in the game?/@comment-11334121-20140127133835

In an AD battle, I think that Jax pretty much wins. His passive it's just too much when it's fully charged. And then he can become extremly tanky with the ult. However, he is not the best duelist in early game and can sorta fall off if he can't farm/kill.

Now, in an AP duel, I think that Mordekaiser, Malzahar and Mordekaiser have the upper hand. Mordekaiser gets tanky with very few items. And his damage it's quite high as well. And if he is low in life...he will ult you and recover his life so that he can kill you before he dies.

Malzahar...well, it's Malzahar, it's close to impossible to lose a lane with him if played in the right way, with no mistakes. A silence with powerful damage, a hp percent damage skill, the DoT and the ult. All his kit is made to erase someone in a 1 vs 1 or to provide utility by silencing or shreding hp.

Finally, Heimerdinger doesn't even have to fight you directly. He will sit behind his turrets all day, only using some skills to make sure you'll never catch him until you are almost dead. Then, he will launch the greande-missile combo of death and you'll probably die. But this little guy has been smacked by my Mordekaiser numerous times (The turrets can be damaged with Morde's E and W, hue hue hue)
