I am not a Mordekaiser main but I want to play Mord as a tanky guy rather than a burst mage

Yea I know his burst mage is fun but I wish there was a viable way to play him as a near full tank while still fuctioning well enough to not be completely useless unless he blows people the fuck up.

Like I remember a few years ago when a friend told me to build him full tank and while I did no damage and was so useless in fights(excluding my ult), I actually had fun being some unstoppable menace who would never die(rip old armor mr buff).

I want to feel tanky being made out of METAL, but guess not yet.

Thoughts?

I know I can play him as whatever I want but it just isn't viable or good to play full tank/bruiser Morde, but it is fun as hell once you hit late game.
