Main reason why I don't think TriForce is any good anymore is the hefty cost of the item + the fact that it no longer gives AP, instead giving a whole lot of Mana and CDR. One which is nice, the other not so much. I still think the item is an all purpose artifact, but it's nowhere near as good on Mordekaiser as it was before, being cheaper and also synergizing way more with his kit.

I usually get some CDR from Runes. I run 15% scaling CDR on him which makes it decent on the laning phase provided you don't actually face any AP that has a way to harass you. Lissandra, Katarina, Kayle. Heimerdinger. Even Nautilus and Maokai can rack up damage on you if you don't bring MR.

I guess one can say that vs an AP Matchup, going for Nashors is obviously the better choice overall but Guinsoo isn't so bad since it stacks way fast with your ultimate.
