I've ran something very similar to this and stomped face, so I don't know. It just doesn't seem like he needs much to face roll. This tanky version can really be pretty unstoppable. I think it's a good build. It doesn't do as much dmg as a d-cap/void staff/hextech etc build, but it's much more survivable. I think this would make a pretty good beginner's build for people that are new to morde.

After the nerf to Mordkaiser going tank early game isn't viable if you are not farmed or fed. This build will have you running around being ignored with about 200+ ap and very little dps output. -1
