Matchup plan

Consider taking Shield Bash rune to utilize Mordekaiser's own shield for extra damage, improving trade potential. Aim to complete Hexdrinker before level 6. With it, you can kill Mordekaiser when you pull him. Upgrade to Maw of Malmortius if ahead, specifically for his AP damage. If enemy jungler is also AP, rush Maw directly.
