How to win lane as Kled against Mordekaiser · 55.02% win rate (418 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Build MR — Q-pull him and out-aggro before his R.
Track: Mordekaiser's R — Realm of Death (140–100s cooldown). His 1v1 realm. Be mounted for it.
Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Mordekaiser.
This is Kled's own plan; across 418 pooled games the lane is Kled-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both whiff level 1 — he has no isolation bonus yet and you keep Skaarl topped, so deny his Q farm and set up your level 2 spike. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | Beartrap reaches 800 to his 675 Obliterate, and W's four fast attacks land before Indestructible has stored enough damage to matter. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | E in, W's four attacks, re-E back out beats him: Death's Grasp is a 16s cooldown at rank 1, so once his pull is spent he cannot hold you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You out-trade a pre-6 Morde with remount sustain, but his W shield keeps it even — neither of you secures the kill without a mistake. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | His R drags you into Realm of Death, steals your stats, and removes Skaarl entirely — solo, you lose that 1v1 outright. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | One-item Morde stacks his W shield and wins the extended fight; your proc burst can't kill through it before his R resets the duel. |
| Two+ items | Kled | 2+ items your percent-HP Q and remount DPS shred his bulk faster than his W heals — close the lane and only fight when his R is down. |
Levels 1-3 are mine if I'm patient at first — at 1 we both poke for nothing, so just deny his Q last-hits and keep Skaarl healthy. The second I have W and E, I E in, fire the W shotgun shots, and re-E back to detonate the mark; that burst beats him before his W shield value ramps. Don't sit still next to him or his Q-slam lands the isolated-target bonus and his E pull sets up a free trade — dance in and out so his pull whiffs.
