Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Malphite deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Mordekaiser deals primarily magic damage (83.77%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Mordekaiser, ranking 20th (versus 35th for Malphite) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.8 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Malphite player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Mordekaiser player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
