Got a Rylai's and Liandry's, and didn't even cross 2500 HP at around level 14. What a joke, and all because Morde's shields forbid him from having even a decent amount of base HP, otherwise "he's too tanky!"
I know Morde requires another rework, but what can one do to ensure he's not so glassy while also making his damage relevant?
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteshe has lower hp cuz of how he heals... also items like 
or 
are very strong on him
and when i last played vs mord top i was trundle i just wanted him to get more and more hp and def stats...
makes me stronger
and yes i won
darkdill2 votesHere's the problem with going that much HP: you gimp your damage output.
Or is your logic the "you can't deal damage if you die" type?
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesgo 
ton of damage, slow, magic pen, hp, some armor and mr and regen let alone the active from to dash to catch or escape
EndlessSorcerer1 votesStrength of the Ages (with Tenacious) isn't a bad combination on him for durability and mobility.
Malicious Metal1 votesToo bad they're removing it....
Makior721 votescool down reduction + spell vamp. His tankyness comes from his lifesteal/spell vamp and ability to use shields, not actual tankiness, also get a spirit visage to amplify the spell vamp.

A Mordekaiser with a build like this is arguably the tankiest champion in the game, while also putting out enough damage to kill carries solo. Seriously, I've done the math, with just a Sterak's Gage (I didn't factor in Rylai's) his every ability he has casted once nearly 100-0's an ADC who didn't buy MR. If you consider he could cast his Q and E twice, the sunfire burn, and normal auto attacks, he would easily 100-0 them. Rylai's makes it so that he can kill them even more easily.
Mordekaiser has shitty base tank stats because he has arguably the best tank steroid in the game.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesi kind like my build better

Not tanky enough. Sterak's is non-negotiable IMHO.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteshmm ok 400hp+300hp+300hp+ 500hp+ 500hp = 2000hp from items
isnt mords normal runes are magic pen reds, hp seals, ap quints/ or ms quints and cdr blues ?
so if he runs hp seals that is +216 hp at lvl 18 for 2216 hp at lvl 18 plus his 1766 giving him a total of 3982 hp
plus you get 240 ap from items with the passive slows, magic pen, dot hp% damage aoe damage and the active of protobelt
plus the mr and armor from the sunfire and spirit visage and the increased hp regen plus the 20% cd
seems ok to me

The difference is my build has more resistances, more health, and has a big fucking shield that increases Mordekaiser's base AD (the highest in the game) by a percentage. Mordekaiser has so much damage built into his kit that it's better to bulk up and be hard to focus down than to build damage.
Your build's not bad though. It's better than a lot of dumb builds that go full glass cannon.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesit dont matter i just play 
vs 
and win
DarkRitual1 votesMalicious Metal goes Rylai's, Sterak's, and Gunblade. I'd trust his build pretty solidly.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesyea but trundle counters mord ... he heals justas much as mord does, is a great duelist and his Q steal ad from mord... and his ult steals mords resistance basically a counter to mords ult plus the pillar is good to get away from mord or to keep mord from escaping
