Let me tell you a story of fail Mordekaiser.
Once upon a time there was a Mordekaiser with Pentakill skin. He felt very proud and handsome and strong. He ventured forth from the fountain and proceeded to solo top lane. Little did he know that the evil enemy team, led by a cruel and heartless villain known only as Xin Zhao, was venturing into his forest to claim dominance over the blue golem! One by one did Mordekaiser's teammates fall before the wanton brutality of Xin Zhao's party as they ambushed them in the forest. Mordekaiser decided he would have to sally forth from his top tower to face the rogues!
And so, brave Mordekaiser ventured into the bushes of the forest. He was clad in thick armour. His mighty axe was heavy. His pecs rippled. His items were zero. Yes, grand Mordekaiser did not buy any items. He came across the rogues stealing the blue buff and with a brave roar, he charged at the fools. And then he was annihilated.
The heartless knave, Xin Zhao, now with two kills and an assist in 4 minutes, returned to the solo top tower. Strong with many items and many potions. Mordekaiser saw this, and with all the bravery of his heart, decided to show the malignant tumour how a real warrior fights! Once more Mordekaiser left the fountain... without items! Once more brave Mordekaiser died, the very moment he showed his face.
Eventually Mordekaiser did buy some items, but it was far too late. Xin Zhao was overmighty and his team was feeble. He was crushed, never to be seen again. Let us mourn the no-item-start Mordekaiser.
