Mordekaiser, meanwhile, is the godking of wraith farming, and is much stronger mid than top.
Pretty much, yeah, Karthus is much safer to farm on top at the distance and much harder to gank while the length of the lane really cramps Morde's style. And Morde can farm the jungle (Wolves and Wraiths) much more easily from mid than from top (the Golems are kinda hard to take unless you're Singed or someone with good escapes; need to go deep for those).
