They either go AP and destroy everything but never seems to die because of their shield which lets them stay alive long enough for his whole team to wipe out ours, or they go tank and begin backdooring us with his whole team. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with him in general? I've tried to stop them from farming early game by harassing and killing them a few times but it's pretty hard when I solo lane as Galio or amumu and he constantly pushes to my turret.
You have to be enough of a threat to keep him away from the minions early game. Typically, ranged champions or ones that move and hit fast will keep me in check during the laning phase, as I can't get close enough to attack the minions and get my shield without them immediately taking it down. If you're not a threat, he'll walk down your lane like you're just another minion. If you've got to solo against him try to get a gank, preferably a champ who can slow and/or keep up with him. Since Mord has no escape abilities he'll likely have Exhaust to slow the attacker or Flash/Ghost to put distance between them. As Amumu, you can stun for a quick beat down to make him run.
