Morde has building problems: He wants MPen, AP, Spell Vamp, boots, and some resists, all of which directly benefit him. So you're stuck building a stat and wishing you had more of all of the others. He just can't really play into his tankiness very well because it happens later in the game, whereas during early game your ability to escape tends to dictate your tankiness. In short, Morde is left with only a masochistic pushing kit during early game, with great potential during late game that unfortunately doesn't get to shine often.
