Mordekaiser is ungankable because his early game needs no help. He can buy 1000 wards after he gets his revolver, and he has the farming to do just that. Also, try ganking him in less-than-perfect situations, when he's dominating your top lane (creating the need for the gank in the first place). You either gank him while your minions are there and watch him get a huge shield from them and kill you, or gank him while he's surrounded by his own minions, watch him gain a small shield, and kill you with the help of minion aggro. Half of the times you try to gank Mordekaiser you will die, and the other 4 out of 10 times he'll get away fine. Honestly, I'm venting and exaggerating here, but thank god for this patch, his laning will be less freaking ridiculous and you'll have SOME hope of ganking him in your own minion wave.
