It has come to my attention that people playing Mordekaiser have been asking me to teach them how to play Mordekaiser well.
So in this guide i'll be posting my skill path, item build, summoner spells, masteries, runebook and extra thoughts, but I will not be posting his Bio or skill tooltips because I feel that is a big waste of time.

Rate my guide when your done reading it, and if you like it do me a favor, give thumbs down to all the trollers on my thread because its getting out of control.

With that being said here is the skill path I have chosen
1.Creeping Death
2.Mace of Spades
3.Creeping Death
4.Mace of Spades
5.Creeping Death
6.Children of the Grave
7.Creeping Death
8.Mace of Spades
9.Creeping Death
10.Mace of Spades
11.Children of the Grave
12.Mace of Spades
13.Siphon of Destruction
14.Siphon of Destruction
15.Siphon of Destruction
16.Children of the Grave
17.Siphon of Destruction
18.Siphon of Destruction

You also want to make sure that you stay back a bit after getting your shield till your CDs are refreshed. I've seen people take me down after my creeping death and mace of spades were on cooldown. Althought playing aggressively with Creeping death keeps you at tank status while mace of spades doubles your damage. Children of the grave should be used like ignite and with ignite to take out an enemy. Unless your overwhelmed like a 5v5 or its 2v1. Siphon of destruction is better used late game, because you can use it to farm in jungle and get someone from a medium range, or the whole enemys team in a 5v5.

My item build consists of
[Tank]
Spirit visage
Mercurys threads
Sunfire cape
Sunfire cape(replace with Force of nature if much magic damage is involved)
Sunfire cape(replace with thornmail if much attack damage is involved)
Sunfire cape
[Fighter]
Spirit Visage(Sell late game for Force of nature)
beserkers Greaves
BloodThirster
Trinity force
Last Whisper
Infinity edge

But choosing the right items is all depending on your enemys line up, to much AP means you need to stack magic resist, to much AD means you need to stack armor. If there team has a balanced ratio of ap and ad though, its good to just get sunfire capes and 1 FON. As a fighter though i've been able to carry my team really well, anyone thats played with me are witnesses to that. you can out lifesteal the opponent with your BT and ultimate then kill the enemy for your spirit spawn!. Also on a side not, sheen doesn't critical hit, this is how it works people, lets say you have 200damage and crit for 400, then sheen will apply 200damage, making you deal 600damage in total.

Summoner spells
Ignite - people really underestimate this spell, at level 18 it deals nearly 500 damage, wich is a lot considering it can save you the trouble of running after someone early to late game. make sure you take your level and calculate the damage ignite will do before you use it, or make sure they have around 100hp or less exactly so that its in the bag.
(off thoughts, make sure they use their heal first before you waste ignite on accident, if you don't know if they have heal or not, go ahead and use it then, they might just forget they have heal.)
Heal - Really I only suggest this to noobs that need healing fast instead of over a period of time, not calling you a noob persay but i'm saying if your a noob Mordekaiser.
Rally - if your a skilled player and have rally masteries choose this over heal, it can really boost your ad late game and the healing your team needs to match.

Let me tell you, ignite combined with your ultimate keeps them from healing and ensures a kill. rally is there to keep your team up and heal you in a bad situation. Flash is for pussys that need to get away, im not the one running away often, im the one chasing your ass down.

Masteries - 21/6/3
3 deadlyness

1 burning embers
1 archaic knowledge
3 sunder
3 brute force
1 improved rally
3 lethality

3 Resistance

Runebook
Marks 9 "Greater Mark of Desolation" +1.96Armor penetration each = 17.64!
Seals 9 "Greater Seal of Regeneration" +0.11HP regen each = 17.82!(At level 18)
Glyphs 9 "Greater Glyph of Vigor" +0.27Healing regeneration each = 2.43!
Quintessences 9 "Greater Quintessence of Regeneration" +0.28HP regen each = 45.36(at level 18)
Our Total effect = 17.64armor penetration & 65.61healing regeneration per 5!

Early game tips
Make sure to use creeping death in the middle of creep waves to gain max on shield, use mace of spades on the ranged creeps or save it for the enemy when they become aggressive. Try to back up with your CDs are down, or let your shield tank absorb damage.

Mid game tips
get a 5man roaming when it gets close to late game, keep ahead of the team even as a carry, you can stick with the tank because your still much of a tank even with carry items.

Late game tips
Farm in jungle with siphon of destruction for some extra gold to buy your items, and to max Bloodthirster damage/lifesteal bonuses.

Video gameplay
Just got new beta fraps, seeing what I can do with it.

Extra thoughts -
Best laning partners are probably Ryze, because of his ranged abilitys and massive burst damage, but best partner to have come along in your game has to be zilean by far, his ressurection can make you tank and carry all game long. The other team wants you down fast so your an easy target for zileans save.

I just played 3 games w/ toggle's kaiser...were 3-0...He carried almost all of the games as our DPS. Even though he is mean when you do bad, I still think his kaiser build is good.

He carried hard for us in mid elo the couple games i played with him. Imo people should at least post arguments and counterpoints before saying "lolz you fail" and marking it negative.

But what do I know, I'm just a noob.

they do and then he trolls them. look at other threads, people debate, but it doesnt get out of hand, why? because both parties have some small form of respect for each other, which is not the case here.

well, if you post any argument or counterpoint he calls you a troll and says the guide is flawless.

Undefeated playing a few games with his mordekaiser, where he carried, so can't argue with results. This guide's a good place to start with the build. T0ggle's Hyperagressive btw.

This thread DOES offend me, on a personal level.

With that tank build you are not taking advantage of his abilities' amazing synergy with Rylai's. 4 Sunfires is such an uninspired build, and they already changed it so that the damage from them doesn't supply his shield. With that build, you are nothing but a pile of HP with zero utility to your team. Mord lacks any CC whatsoever, which is found on most top-tier tanks. With Mord's movespeed you'll need your teammates to CC the other team to do absolutely anything, and your ability to initiate effectively will be nonexistent.

Waiting until level 13 to get a rank in Siphon is garbage. To say that Creeping Death is your main source of shield baffles me. Siphon gives 24 health per unit hit at max rank. Use that on a wave of minions and you have ~150+ shield (before damage is taken into account.) Chances are you'll be able to use it a second time too, depending on how many minions are there.

So, this guide is still a failure, and deserves to be locked again.
