Well, I had the experience with Morde, that especially burst is stronger agaisnt him, because burst combos like has, might even damage him when he has his shield full, whereas top pokers like  or  (not too common picks, I know) can't really do m uch without taking hard dmaage tehmselves.

I might have to try him more often mid, but I could often avoid ganks top, by overly warding the top half of the map, and by retreating into our jungle everytime I pushed too much. Morde is risky top, but also very rewarding. And to be honest, if the jungler ganks top 24/7 then the other lanes are safe adn i get my farm anyways, it doesn't matter if I die once in a while.
