I'd like to think that a semi-tank version of Morde is possible, despite your complete lack of CC. Something like Abyssal/Hourglass into Deathcap, especially because of how your shield functions. The issue is, of course, getting kited. If you can't 0-100 someone as morde you should go home and rethink your life.

But then again, I kinda really enjoy saying "your build depends" and have a notorious habit of randomly building different items depending on my mood on several heroes (namely, bruisers).
