To say he's always been a burst champion is a horrid lie. He used to be one of the strongest "tanks" on the game. A typical build on old Mordekaiser was Will of the Ancients (or Gunblade, actually), Abyssal Scepter and Rylai's Crystal Scepter - and he'd just walk into a team fight and come out with a pentakill. In fact, he was more likely to win the more people you sent against him (because his shield generation used to be absurd, and shields stack stupidly well with resistances). He only became three-clicks-boom when they nerfed his durability.

Like with Ahri, they've decided to take a few steps backwards and reconsider. Ahri lost a lot of her assassination ability and REGAINED her mobile-mage status. Riot is trying to BRING BACK resurgence Mordekaiser.
