Or in case you're unable to not immediately or everything in sight that's out of your familiarity range, or actually do some research and theorycrafting...

Mordekaiser has a shield system. That much should be obvious to you. Mordekaiser charges his shield based on how much magic damage he deals, which in turn allows Mordekaiser to absorb damage from his foes. In order to deal more magic damage to charge his shield more, he has a few options: hit more stuff with his abilities, hit more often, and/or hit harder. AP allows Mordekaiser to hit harder, letting him charge his shield at ridiculous rates even if there's only two or three people around. Obviously he'll be destroyed in seconds if he doesn't have any survivability outside of his shield, since the shield has a pretty low maximum capacity. That's where the Armor and MR come in.

Malphite has a somewhat different story in that Armor benefits one of his skills, and his Q allows Malphite to harass pretty well in addition to aiding temporary kiting or running. His ultimate is on a 1:1 AP ratio as well.

Wait, why does that Amumu have Rabadon's? Hmm???

I've never had trouble with survivability to the point that I regret building ap/ hybrid morde instead of tank morde.

Gunblade+ rylais dominates my mid game and late game I have a banshees for defense, 3k hp with items and sometimes thornmail. My 2 hextech gunblades keep my shield up all the time and the lifesteal/spellvamp help even more.

I laugh at most of the fights I'm in because of how ridiculously hard I am to kill.

As for 1v1 situations, this isn't EU and I rarely even have trouble 1v1 because I don't fight 1v1 without creeps to keep my shield up. I usually just kite them with E if they chase me and laugh when they finally decide to run away because they know they will die if they continue to chase.

First real game ever with morde I went 16-3-x on SR, and my brother does the same. He was actually the reason I started playing morde a while back.

Tank morde serves almost no purpose other than being unkillable. His damage is mediocre when built tank and he can't perform the functions of normal tanks.

Tank morde= tank mundo= not better than damage based build.
