Background
From the Shadow Isles comes a champion like no other. Standing eight feet tall, concealed within a razor-sharp armored shell is a creature known only as Mordekaiser. Some allege that he is a man, though none have actually seen what lies within the plates that encompass him. There are those who posit that he isn't a living being, but rather a particularly dark specimen of the undead rumored to infest his distant homeland - but such rumors are surely merely the ramblings of the paranoid or the whispers of the insane. What is known is this: Mordekaiser arrived unannounced at the Institute one day and, with the rasp of an echoing sepulcher, requested to join the League of Legends.

As if his fearful visage doesn't disturb enough, his touch bears a sinister plague. Those unfortunate enough to be caught within his grasp fall victim to incurable maladies. In fact, Mordekaiser seems mystically connected to sickness, as if it feeds and comprises part of his chilling essence. He has been seen stalking the slums of Noxus, drawn to the plague-ridden and diseased. However, there is something in his clever tactics, something in his noble stance, something in the tone of his unearthly commands that has led many to believe that Mordekaiser is more than just a foot soldier. Some see the distinguishing characteristics of a general. While many have learned to accept this unsettling possibility, a lingering question keeps them uneasily awake at the witching hour - If Mordekaiser is a general, what nightmarish army lurks at his command?

If there is a thing festering at the heart of the League, it is the Lord of the Damned.

Development
Mordekaiser was first released on the Test Realm Client, few hours after making the announcement of his introduction to League of Legends.
 * Whether you're having trouble spotting your champion during those hectic team fights, or you just happen to be a fan of awesome juggernauts in massive armor carrying gigantic weapons, we may have a solution for you. Allow me to introduce: Mordekaiser. If you have ever felt that your champion's aesthetic could be vastly improved by the addition of plate armor covered in metal spikes, this champion should definitely scratch that itch.

Strategy

 * The combination of and  can prove deadly to a wounded enemy.
 * Your prisoner will get all the passive abilities from both you and the champion you enslaved.


 * Your prisoner can use the charge, take advantage of it once you take cover.
 * Buying some s early can help you boost your farm and AoE damage early game in order to get a powerful snowball effect.
 * People often underestimate Mordekaiser's W skill, you could have a level 5 at level 9. The damage output of a level 5  is equal to 2 s.
 * Your ultimate often turns the tide of the entire battle, If you use on their carry and down him quickly, it can decimate enemy champions. Or if you are getting focused a lot you can use it on a tank early to get maximum effect from the lifesteal component..
 * Do not be afraid to stack health items. Armor and Magic resist make your shield more effective but without the addition of health you remain rather fragile.
