Q max Morde working for me
So I've been maxing Q first on Morde.
I've been using the Warlords Bloodlust keystone.
Start is 1 Long Sword + 3 pots.
First Item I build is Hextech Gunblade.
I don't recommend this for people who like playing very safe/passively or people who don't understand wave/minion control/management.
I am usually at 50 - 60 CS by the time the enemy laner hits 30 - 35.
As soon as the lane phase starts I start pushing the lane with my Q. And whenever I get a chance to I bonk the enemy laner with any if the 3 hits. 3rd one is the most preferable one. Blood lust not only heals me enough to not feel any penalty from casting spells but also gives me a good boost to either come in towards the enemy to bonk them or a boost to back away fast right after bonking them. In addition to using your Q more effectively make sure you're still using your W and E to harrass the enemy.
Key items to my build are: Hextech Revolver > Luden's Echo > Liandry's torment.
The new GA is super good on Morde because it also boosts your Q and E damage (just something to keep in mind).
For boots I go either Swifties or MPen.
Runes:
RED AD
YELLOW ARMOR/HPLVL
BLUE AP
QUINTS AP
Why am I sharing this? I just want folks to know there is another option, I personally struggled for the longest with the Max W first order. Never personally liked it, seemed too passive for me due to my aggressive playstyle and never really saved me from ganks/tight situations.
With this Q build I can set the pace for the laning phase from Wave one.
Hope this helps some other Morde players.
