a win-win for both of us and if you're interested in getting coached by me please check the description down below alright let's dive into it hey guys uh back with another matchup guide today is the mordekaiser matchup guide um motor geyser I hear a lot of people struggling with the Mordecai's Champion uh people don't know how to trade against him or how to play against him in an early game and they feel like they just they just get outskilled which can happen if you go even but Mordecai's actually has a very very weak early game and he has clear weaknesses and I'll show you properly how to exploit them and then also get ahead and um and also what not to do I also make a very big bundle so you guys can also learn on what not to do against Mordecai's so again you guys know what I'd like to do is get a late word so I know where enemy jungle starting uh so I leave my word here and don't hop back over and right now I know okay Mordecai is leashing Diana's is passing both and same food right both terms are passing from Top into both this game oh there's the same therefore there won't be any interaction of junglers in the Top Lane in the first four ways of the game which is perfect I'm playing in isolation and I want to look to progress I was checking if it was perhaps gonna path like this right here let's say he path like this then I could obviously cheat him right but he took the safe routines go around here which is smart by him uh it's completely fine I'll tubbed here so um I'll tap here sorry for that um I'm taking this game for my for my stream I'm streaming daily and so I've run into all these matchups as well I don't have them recorded on my outlet anymore I just recorded through this so okay level one I couldn't punish him too much because he was leashing but it's all good um he started with a doran's ring if you didn't see the laptop right here starting with a doran's ring and as you guys can see I'm looking to trade but when the next minion wave comes I first have to let all six means egg roll on this minimize again I cannot trade before this means I've collapsed okay he hit me with a fat Q there it's okay he goes for a last hit that's a mistake I stopped my Q running I get a good traitor so it's perfect and I love this trade uh it's aggressive right like I said Mordecai's is very weak in the early game so yeah it goes for a lesson there it was a bit too aggressive by him q auto Kyoto back out here I see that this mean is about to die and I still have 10 conquerors decks I wanted him to walk up a little bit more I get my level two here and I wanted to go on to him but it was just out of range right I think if I reacted to it faster it would have been good but yeah if I made use of the level 2 then it was probably dead by you coming back up but it's okay Mr winner but still I lost the fortune he lost the potion I get the priority but it's already it's very good and illness to see us so yeah what I want to do is keep this pressure up right and probably look for four phase crash so right now um this is the third that's coming into Lane I'm going to keep slow pushing this so that I get a chance that this four five right here that is just spawned an enemy base I'm Gonna Keep slow pushing and look to crash on Wave number four and then I can either recall I can look for Scotto and all those options right as I said both Jones are patting into Bots are probably Chris cartoons so yeah keep slow pushing in the meantime he's also losing means he just lost two more there which is perfect keep stop pushing right and again a slow push in the center of this Lane to allow this wave to walk up more into the light so that I can hard push it instantly when it comes so now I can start pushing because I already know that this wave has enough time to walk up here as you can see the main wave walks up I'm not forced to like play under his turret therefore I can push this wave as fast as I want to and I'm going to do that start pushing here and now after this I guess I have three options and we'll go over them once I've done finishing with this wave so I'd say we have three options right now since uh I know that enemy Jong was path to bot I can look to go behind proxy wave and then Rico right that would be fine I would have around let's say 700 gold I think it's not the perfect Rico 700 will probably go with double long sport my other option would be to recall right now get a deep blade walk back and look to play the Buns I don't like that option too much because I think I should be getting more out of the situation here um so instead I looked for sculptor here because I know again both jungles are both right so that leaves this cuttle for free here for me and it's very nice always nice if you can get this and just from that I'm already gonna be quite far ahead of the mordekaiser I'm going to kite it back at the top by standing behind it and some fighting going on W Auto and perfect so right now the motor cars it has we'll probably press that right he's unfortunately yes I'm already on 25 right so just because we pushed in early and mordekaiser struggles with farming sales under the third right which is the clean 4th wave crash we're already 10 CS up so already we're quite far up in this matchup right uh and now I want to look to try and play onto his bounce but I remember here I made a mistake the mistake was using my e to get close here and also the last hit and if I don't have my e against my or I use my e to get out if you don't have your e against Mordecai say guys do not walk up okay how you want to trade against Mordecai so it's very linear you want to cue into him you want to Auto W and then probably EQ out something like that or use your e reactively to his Q or to his e right you always want to have your e so you can get that you can dash out of his uh out of his e and here I don't have my e but I'm still looking to trade this is the blunder he is very nice he punishes me very well and I lose half my HP so that's the thing right if you do not have e do not trade against Mordecai said it's that simple right now I cannot confess the bounce anymore I lost too much HP so now I'm using this is a perfect example of how I can trade however you see here I'm gonna start my queue he misses his Q lovely and then q auto W and now I can e out in case he is right he's looking to ear and I have my this is how you want to trade you want to kill on top of him Auto W and then e reactively to his abilities that is how you want to try it not like this this is terrible again I have no Ian I'm walking up I'm trolling here what are you doing Eloise get up I guess you want to get him unlucky so I have to like crash it here I lost too much into speed I took two bad trades right walking up without my biggest blunder you can do against morde Kaiser so right here I'm thinking he's probably going to base and recall or sorry recall ntp rather um so here I want to match my recall because if I do not recall here I'm obviously going to be stuck right evtp so I'm checking the turret he hasn't DP'd I check again I still see he hasn't repeat so all right triple checking it now I'm gonna look too hard push right because I think he should have tped here and locked me into Lane but he hasn't that gives me the time to do this uh I think I just did a mistake by queuing to get close it cost me a little bit more time and now we get it in before the next way Verizon we can perfectly here we go perfect he comes back he has um boots cloth armor refillable I get uh whip refillable you see I've already 20 sets up right so even though I didn't do much I just formed well I traded okay-ish on the bounce I didn't trade well but I played my early learning phase well and I'm already quite far ahead of the Mordecai's right so this is how you get like this is already pretty good for the matchup so now coming back into it right now it's gonna be quite hard to progress on to him uh I do have the item lead but he has um uh cloth armor right which is going to make him a bit tanky six now as well I do have the ignite Edge so here this is a perfect trade pattern right this is exactly what I was talking about uh you want to cue into his face not e always keep your ee up and then you qw Auto e Out qw Auto and I like or I did whip here I didn't do auto because Whip or Auto would lock me in them I mean Whip or Auto and I eat out here perfect and now I cannot really get punished but I think he did a very good uh cue there afterwards so I guess the thread wasn't too good but still that is how you generally want to trade against the Mordecai so the qw also and then e out and then poke them down until you can all in same thing I was looking for it kid laying and I'm probably gonna look to try and do it again okay I don't get it here okay just eat that fine all right uh okay so let's see how do I get this straight We're Cute laying I get on top of him I touch his cue my queue is about to come back up W Auto and out you see I just keep my e up all the time so I can use it reactively to hissy and then all these threads are completely fine here I probably look to kill him if I can but he's a smart thing by pulling the wave and I cannot kill him okay also my gender is both I have no idea where enemy jungle is at so we're just forced to receive but even then right I'm gonna freeze it here and let's see if we press tab probably should 48 to 60. so we're still pretty far ahead here and I'm very happy in that all right there again right look perfect straight pattern again you just kill this face you cancel stuff and then you e out and he has no counter plugins it also because I'm closer to my turn he also eat beforehand so I guess he has no ability here and then yeah we just use my ear up like that probably shouldn't be there not sure why not doing it um lovely uh he gave it a chance here so I'm gonna hard push and look to recall again I think he's looking for a plant so that gives me the time to harvest away from Rico perfect we're coming get back and there's a skirmish going on so we come here some weird Skirmish going on uh okay and if it gets pulled into the sex chamber no biggie I think we still went near Diana's top lovely so this was very nice for me right so ultimately this is going to help me a lot in the matchup more the guys that dies uh he is old as well so now I'm very happy I'm also getting close to gourdwinker the wife is pushing into me here I'd say the matchup is looking pretty much over right I'm already quite far ahead in CS I'm 52 to 68. he just died the way he was pushing into me he has an old right now as well I have both Summoners on my next World I'll probably kill him it's looking pretty good for me here and here's where you're also gonna see my biggest blunder so he comes back I'm very close to quartering like I said right I only need 300 gold right now manager drinker so what I was also saying here in my stream is I need to you know just don't play aggressive right now wait for Gore Drinker and then I can Recon I'm very strong also my Udyr right if you check the mini map he has no camps in top side all scams are both sides so he just he should just be going both side too he's doing the correct thing his top is now as well I should just play Passive here and not look to trade I have no old I'm very close to gore drinking that's what I should be playing for and I do this so I queue up in his face right with all three of my cues I cannot eat out and here I also commit to the threat I should just flash out let's stop being greedy I'm looking to kill him and he he's getting completely Smart in front of me a flash he predicts it and I die very I mean I wouldn't say unlucky I was I played and also stupid and now you see my gold I'm also just short of my gold ranger so everything just went wrong here for me I really misplayed it so I'm live with CDR boots here um yeah that was my mistake terrible mistake and here I'm gonna get salvaged so I uh here I just have the luxury that my anivia I think Smurfs it I am 96 to 65 so it's not the end of the world right I'm still it's still somewhat playable but here I I am in a bit of trouble so here my anivia's is going to completely Smurf it he knew that Mordecai's had no flash he's sitting in my Lane here I was also very surprised but also very happy this was of course extremely good for me more Kaiser walks up and yeah he just gets one shot he cannot do anything here um so I'm lucky with this right this pulls me back into the game I'm able to get my gold drink I have a big smile right now uh thank you King anivia absolutely that Olivia is a king so yeah now I get my gold Drinker I get my CDR boots but this is also the spike you want to have against uh the Mordecai's all right so let's see one more time how I am able to use this Spike against the mordekaiser and once I get these items I feel like the Mordecai is a metric also becomes extremely easy so I don't have all right now so I'm gonna wait for that on this way if you see I I took a little bit of a trade here okay we tried a little bit here that's all good okay so now 70 for my old I'm not going to hard push this wave because I if I keep slow pushing maybe he'll walk up I'll get my alternate knife and I can kill him right and right now I'm at 50 ability haste which means that I can permicutely and if he ever walks up with some cute Lane I can look to kill him right so my Q is coming okay there I go cute I'm sorry my cute leg second cue and if he walks up right now look to kill him he walks up there we go cut back he walks up and then he's just one shot nothing he can do match up over so I would summarize this matchup guys two things try to always keep your e up for after the trade right Q into his face W Auto and then e out never e for it because if you do that he's gonna let all his abilities and you're probably dead too right if you keep your e you should also very often be safe to never get pulled back in and get altered so yeah keep your e up that's the most important thing Farm consistently and I think very often also you will outskill this Champion if you just go even that you get ordering here probably go Cleaver second because he goes Jack show and everybody's going to be completely fine I think more the characters also extremely gankable right so if he ever Burns flash communicate with your jungler and with your mid lane you should be able to kill him like that and yeah punish him in the early game guys more guys is a very weak early game Champion as you see I was very I was able to make quite use of that uh trick and then yeah he lost a lot of farm and I already got ahead just through the early game like that so keep that in mind try to abuse him in the early game and uh you should be completely fine in this matchup um yeah I hope I've taught you guys some new stuff and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the next matchup but peace guys [Music]
