Mordekaiser

The mechanic

Mordekaiser's ultimate drags one enemy into a separate realm for seven seconds, where nobody else can see them, reach them or help either of them. His team plays a four versus four while he duels, and steals 10% of the target's stats for the duration.

Why it needs saying

The only ultimate that removes one player from each side at the same time. Without the call, the team waits for Mordekaiser to come back instead of using his target's absence, and wastes spells on a teammate it cannot reach.

    ulting their adc 4v4 go

    in full english

    I'm ulting their ADC, it's a four versus four, go.

    the context

    "4v4" says it all: for seven seconds, the enemy adc no longer exists for anyone. This is the moment to engage on the four who are left, not to wait for Mordekaiser to return. He cannot receive a heal or any help inside his realm.

    dont waste spells on me im in ult

    in full english

    Don't waste spells on me, I'm in my ultimate.

    the context

    A Mordekaiser in his realm is invisible and unreachable: a heal, a shield or a Shen cast on him is wasted. The call keeps a teammate from burning their ultimate on someone who is no longer there.

    mord ult the tank then we fight

    in full english

    Mordekaiser, ult the tank, then we fight.

    the context

    The call of a teammate picking the target to remove from the fight. Taking the enemy tank out for seven seconds opens the way to their carries: the team has to engage the moment he vanishes, not after.

    mord ult on you use qss

    in full english

    Mordekaiser will ult you, use your Quicksilver.

    the context

    Mordekaiser's ultimate isolates you for seven seconds in his realm, where nobody can help you. Quicksilver leaves it at once: it is the purchase that decides the duel, and it is bought before the fight.
