He also actually needs to last hit to get the bonus xp, so sitting under the tower denies him the bonus. So it's not literally nothing he has to do. Besides - zilean gains bonus XP, and he's borderlines useless - it's clearly not the issue with mordekaiser.

I also still don't understand why people don't build their team to properly counter mordekaiser. In every pro game I've seen, they still pick a ranged ADC instead of trying to counter morde's momentum. Morde's team doesn't even have an adc, so the teamfight rules are completely different. Peel becomes way more valuable, because there's no real ranged threat, and because you don't have to worry about adc's later, you might as well do something stupid like sending renekton and syndra bot - which I've done for fun, and completely throws morde out of lane. He doesn't recover, either, once it has happened, but people don't even try for the most part, because the ADC has no power to do so, and needs to farm - which morde does too, but gains power way faster, and snowballs almost by default.

And even the pros still pick adc and support bot and just let it happen.
