I feel Riot failed spectacularly at making Mordekaiser actually build like a Juggernaut (@Meddler?)

Juggernauts are supposed to be those durable, lethal murder machines that would tear you a new one if you let them get close and played into their strengths. Darius and Illaoi are perfect examples for that. They usually build one or two damage items and the rest TANK.

They have the base durability to invest in early damage and let them scale into late.

And then there is Mordekaiser. He doesn't use the resolve tree like most Juggernauts. He doesn't build tanky.

AT ALL.

It's been a year since the Juggernaut patch and every high elo Mordekaiser just builds him Rylais into full AP.

Riot tried making him more of a juggernaut with delayed damage and such but it's simply NOT working.

Why? I don't know. Maybe it's him just having too high AP ratios Or him not having the base line defense of a juggernaut and their % max hp scalings.

I feel the Alistar-level update should have been for him, seeing that the whole rework just seems to be a colossal failure.
