Mordekaiser isn't like any of those champs I'm not really sure if you are reading things thoroughly. Mordekaiser is all damage and the damage is his strongest utility because he can create a heavy form of damage mitigation based on his shield.

Taric actually gives up armor to damage opponents at the chance to hurt them based on the loss of armor. On every other occasion he either heals or stuns and the stun does no damage.

Cho'gath has only two jobs. Become impossible to avoid and escape from. That's hinged on his size which increases the effectiveness of his CC. When not stacked Cho'gath just doesn't tank and can only offer the knockup in a fight.

Sion is a bad example in general as his kit is all messed up. Being either an unstoppable fighter with endless sustain and health or this mage monster that stuns you and elminates your ability to fight him with a shield that intends to burst you if you don't get rid of it outright.

That guy has been on the rework table for ages and they still won't tell us what they have done with him yet so if anything. It's sort of an example at how dangerous giving CC to a damage melee tank could be when not balanced correctly and a champ that wins matches purely by continuing to deal damage and doesn't have mana limitations or long cooldowns and even doesn't have to worry about health loss to gain more all purposes defenses meaning if he gets like Stuns or knocks. You're dead. At late game he just faces rolls you because you can't escape.

Think about it. Morde hits you with Mace of spades and it now stuns you ontop of the damage. It's cooldown is 4 seconds. Max CDR it's 2.4 seconds. You're dead. You could of course balance that by having a cooldown for the stun but what about late game when he just gets one stun off and he wins that fight hands down? In the duration of the stun Morde can put all his spells on you (and creeping death on himself) he's gotten his shield up, he's blasted you a bit and your counterattack will be mitigated. Maybe you could raise it's Cooldown? By how much? Maybe lower the damage? Again by how much? Do you compensate the shield? Can you compensate the shield?

You know what I'm sayin'? It would be nice to give him SOMETHING in light of how league has changed since he was designed but it's not as safe as it sounds.
