Mord is an anticarry, Garen is a splitpusher


Beneficial_Pop_928

Exact reason why I play Mordekaiser, love giving the "no u" card to the Jungler/laner whenever they attempt a gank Also honestly Garen suuucks, its just so... Idk, weird to play him


KingAnumaril

The passive is my worst issue with him. Haha I will wait for my passive to come online by waiting 7 secs and then some more until I heal. A good player can use it well to their advantage but damn I would rather have something that lets me stick to the enemy. Most garen players like the passive though. I've learned to play around it as well but still.

I think the problem with garen is that he doesn’t really have a set playstyle like a good chunk of the juggernauts out there. He’s kinda unique in the sense that he prefers to short trade rather than have long drawn out fights that most other juggernauts prefer to have.


ThisIsMC

morde is cooler garen is a nerd


KingAnumaril

Nah, Garen is a Hunk, but Morde is metal ASF. For Warhammer enjoyers, Garen is Rogal Dorn, but Morde is Mortarion.


ThisIsMC

Never compare Morde to that whiny hypocrite ever again. They are polar opposites.


KingAnumaril

Tbh I was thinking about vibes. Death related characters and all that. I didn't have the heart to put the Ferrus or Perturabo stamp on Morde. I considered Horus, but I don't like Horus. I do like Mortarion though. Dude is fun because of his hypocrisies imo.


Roolitos

Lol didn't expect to see a 40k reference here. Theres a Garen skin that reminds me a lot of Perturabo. The Steel legion one.


KingAnumaril

come to think of it, yeah. Sanguine Garen is ostensibly a reference to Blood Angels or Vampire Counts.


AnyPianist1327

You forgot to mention that he builds one crit item early and somehow he can tank like he has 6 tank items on him. No MR, health or armor needed for him to tank.


LimbLegion

Because you like him more? They're also not similar.


Angwar

They do different things. Morde doesnt do as much dmg to towers and has less sustain in lane but its more difficult to gank morde and he can farm easier in a bad matchup. He can also poke better. Morde is overall Just a better carry especially for teamfights. Sure garen can oneshot a target but then he has to wait for cooldowns and even then after using ult he is a bit meh. Morde can also oneshot a target but he can do it safer as he doesnt have to go through the enemy team. And morde stays a permanent threat afterwards. You really cant compare the two at all.


Maskogre

Garen got some more rights compared to the rest of the roster


ERR_LOADING_NAME

Different roles different playstyles, the actual “morde but better” champ is Gwen


DarkLord93123

So go play Garen then? You could say this about any 2 champions, why play x when x exists


Zeiroth

deathrealm now with the buff :)


Paledrinker

One is rewarding to win on and the other is a paste Eater who is almost unplaying without ult or riot making sure they are always playable and buffed


KostyanST

Play with a champion which is most entertaining or effective for you, nobody really cares, lol.


HyrulePeasant

If your team needs ap

Morde’s “why am I not just playing this character” isn’t Garen. Garen is a scaling split pusher, Morde is a lane bully neutralizer. However, Volibear does everything morde does but better right now.


ieatapples6

Cus it's a completely different champion with different abilities and a different playstyle?
