How to play it

Dodge his Q
Obliterate is his main damage and crits when you're the only thing it hits: its hitbox is narrower at the start, so dodge in toward him during an all-in.
All-in early
Level 1-2 is your kill window: dodge his grab and you run him down (Conqueror kills him at 2); keep punishing whenever his shield is down, since he's very vulnerable then.
Block with W
Save your W to block his grab (E) or his empowered third hit: that burst is what wins him the trade.
Never walk up to Mordekaiser after 6 unless you're clearly ahead: he wins the even fight and his ult will kill you.
