Look Ma, no items!

So I sat down to play a short game of ARAM mode. I got Janna, which is cool, because I like playing support characters. Her +3% movement speed to everyone on the team is pretty cool, too.

So, as usual, I'm in another window while it's loading. I hear the sound of the game start, so I flip back. I'm trying to buy the recommended items, and it's not working. So I flip away and back, because sometimes the keyboard gets disconnected from the app. But I'm thinking, "but I'm not using the keyboard..." I come back, and my team is saying WTF and I'm getting shot at.

I had miss-clicked somehow, and wandered into the middle of the map, and the turret was shooting me. I backed away and survived. For the whole game.

This means that I never got to buy any items, since in ARAM mode you can't return to shop for stuff unless you die. My team won, and I went 3/0/32! At one point in the middle of the game, I thought I should die just to buy some stuff. But it became "a thing" to try to survive the whole game without items, but not by avoiding playing. Here's a screenshot of the end:
