Mordekaiser vs Nocturne Matchup Summary

The Mordekaiser vs Nocturne matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 27 recent matches analyzed, Mordekaiser wins with a 59.3% win rate compared to Nocturne's 40.7%, giving Mordekaiser a 18.5 percentage point advantage. Mordekaiser dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nocturne players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility
0.6Mordekaiser
5.6Nocturne
Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Mordekaiser, with 5.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nocturne far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
2,004Mordekaiser
1,297Nocturne
Mordekaiser vastly out-sustains Nocturne, healing and mitigating 707 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Mordekaiser can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nocturne is forced to recall.
