Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Mordekaiser, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Riven wins 44.3% of 122 games (95% range 35.8–53.1%).
  • Both champions' overall Top win rates predict 49.1% for Riven; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 133, within the margin of error (46 games).
  • Riven players pick Maw of Malmortius far more often against Mordekaiser: 17.3% of their other Top games, 34.8% 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 Riven and Mordekaiser 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 Riven'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 Riven Build vs Mordekaiser

Usual Riven build (Top)

62.3% win rate · 191 games

Against Mordekaiser

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 7 of 30 Riven games against Mordekaiser carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Riven's standard build instead.

  • Mordekaiser usually completes Rylai's Crystal Scepter first, at 11.9 min (median of 32 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.
