    Mord's damage has never been something I've needed to worry about when calculating a team fight's odds.

    Get some decent health regen, then:

    He can kill 3 enemies when the other champs have spent all their time killing his allies while his shield has been soaking up the aoe damage. I mean, he's a sturdy champ with good aoe damage, but he's not a world beater like what Zen is intimating.

    I was able to plate-spin all 3 lanes and keep the enemy team on their heels while my team took baron

    And of course his ult is a nice source of bonus regen.

    The best thing is when you also have a guardian angel. So when you die after being hit a million times the enemy is all FINALLY.

    And then you're baaaaack.

    Does the ghost contribute to shield?

    because I survived for at least 5 seconds at <5% hit points while ashe and blitz had me thrown in the air and stunned and beaten to a pulp and survived to kill them both

    Ugh. I really wish Riot were better about balancing. They seem to have a "flavor of the patch" champion every single patch that ruins games. Right now, it's Jax. Oh hey I have 4K hp while having nothing but carry items, try and stop me! And I'm gonna talk shit like I'm a mad e-thug too!

    losing after an hour because my teammates still haven't learned how far is too far when chasing is the worst thing

    yep, 2v5 is good odds for any spartan

    Every minor victory was followed by at least one person throwing themselves into the regrouped enemy and then people trickling in to try to save them

    i might try mordekaiser

    not only because of you guys, but i personally have seen some hilarious tanky mordekaisers fending off 3 champs from a tower with 10% health, and i think he killed two of them while chasing them outside the tower's range

    The big reason as to why you don't see Trynd too much anymore is because he was nerfed awhile ago from overpowered to more or less fairly balanced!

    some heroes scale ridiculously good with gear. They might not own early, but if they have a good early game they will become unstoppable machines by end game that will 'carry' the rest of your team while you guys support him/her

    A dps oriented character that excels in the late game and usually ends up with a disproportionate amount of kills. Characters like Jax, Yi, Tristana, Corki, Twitch, etc are usually built to be carries.

    Carry heroes:

    Early game you "carry" them through the game since they have weak early games

    Late game they "carry" you through the game since they are gods of death late game

    i also did pretty amazing as mordekaiser

    it is really hilarious the amount of times you can get double kills because people see how low health you are and assume they can burst you. or taking on their entire team and how long you can survive while being focused. i did the very thing that i talked about earlier, taking on 3 people and killing one while surviving the other two. also, despite not having any way to catch up or slow down, i have been able to chase for the killing blow siphon or ult or ignite all day. i guess it is the boots of swiftness.

    and i don't remember if i read it in this thread, but getting a hero kill with the chain lightning type effect his Q attack causes is great. it doesn't seem to have a visible graphic but it has a travel time, because i whacked some minion with it near a low life sivir running away ulted behind her tower and i got a kill for her like 2 seconds later.
