The problem is that if you play him into a Solo Lane you will have to rush things that help Mordekaiser get into the fray instead of having a partner that can help him. Rather than making his identity of a pure damage dealer, they decided that is better to keep him as he is but optimize him for BotLane.

You can say it's a travesty for his identity, but he would also lost a niche as being a pure damage character without any CC to condition his damage if he was optimized for sololaning/jungle.
