Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Mordekaiser, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Mordekaiser wins 54.7% of 148 games (95% range 46.7–62.5%).
  • Both champions' overall Top win rates predict 53.0% 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: 471 gold ahead of Riven at 15 minutes on average (71 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Mordekaiser players pick Plated Steelcaps far more often against Riven: 58.7% of their other Top games, 80.6% 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 Riven 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.

What Mordekaiser Changes Against Riven

Choices Mordekaiser players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Top games.

Best Mordekaiser Build vs Riven

Usual Mordekaiser build (Top)

62.4% win rate · 335 games

Against Riven

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 14 of 47 Mordekaiser games against Riven 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 11.5 min (median of 46 games).
  • Riven usually completes Axiom Arc first, at 10.4 min (median of 29 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.
