Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Mordekaiser, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Mordekaiser wins 53.1% of 64 games (95% range 41.1–64.8%).
  • Both champions' overall Top win rates predict 51.1% for Mordekaiser; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Mordekaiser usually wins the lane: 925 gold ahead of Kayle at 15 minutes on average (62 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Mordekaiser players pick Revitalize much less often against Kayle: 66.2% of their other Top games, 46.9% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Mordekaiser and Kayle played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Mordekaiser's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Mordekaiser Build vs Kayle

Usual Mordekaiser build (Top)

68.1% win rate · 69 games

Against Kayle

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 12 of 49 Mordekaiser games against Kayle carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Mordekaiser's standard build instead.

  • Mordekaiser usually completes Rylai's Crystal Scepter first, at 11.1 min (median of 47 games).
  • Kayle usually completes Nashor's Tooth first, at 14.0 min (median of 48 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > E > W — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
