Mordekaiser vs Anivia Counter Pick

Four hundred and twenty-five units separate these two champions, 600 attack range for Anivia against 175 for Mordekaiser, and that number is what the 39.1% win rate over 184 games on patch 16.13.1 measures. Mordekaiser has no dash and no ranged ability; Death’s Grasp pulls enemies toward him only once they are already close enough to be pulled.

Crystallize worsens it by dropping an impassable wall of ice between them on demand, and Glacial Storm slows the ground he has to cross. Rebirth then removes the payoff for finally landing a kill, reverting Anivia to an egg with full health on lethal damage, so Realm of Death, which drags a victim into a private duel and steals part of their stats, is not the clean answer it usually is.

The stat comparison flatters Mordekaiser without helping him: 645 base health against 550, 37 armour against 19, 2,413 health at level 18 against 2,114, and a Shield resource instead of Mana, so nothing limits how often he casts. What limits him is arriving. Darkness Rise requires three landed attacks or spells before its damage aura and movement speed switch on, and against 600-range poke from a champion rated 10 for difficulty, those three landings are the difficult part. Building magic resist first is the obvious concession, and it changes nothing about the fact that she chooses when the fights happen. Kits: Mordekaiser, Anivia.
