Needing More Or Better MR Items For The Sustain Group

Before I start, ask yourselves, "How many AP melee champions currently exist in League? How popular are they?" Well, that's where Wit's End comes into play. You see, the item is intended for melee but can be used for ranged champs as well- although may it be much weaker. As the intention of wit's end, it seems to not be as popular as an offensive item that offers sustain. Currently, it has a 1.3% global chance of being bought or built and that is only because those who actually build it can't really utilize it well. But why is that? Well, the first reason is because most champions who build wit's end have some sort of cc built within to force a winning trade and the majority of times that trade is lost against an AP pick. Don't worry, Wit's End can easily be utilized elsewhere or changed for the better.

The reason why I bring this up s is because AP is a very popular team comp and has been for a very long while. The reason why AP comp is popular is because of burst and that league currently offers limited counter building strategies that would otherwise balance the AP composition. To make my point here, champions who first spike with 2 items will often be the sustain group. The sustain group will often have the worst time with their lead because the offensive MR items won't help them out and having the choice of only 3 items (excluding boots) are not high enough in resistances. They can only hope to scale and by that time they lost the only momentum they'll ever have due to the choice of 3 items that won't be able to help them at all. … And what's worse is that these kind of picks are meant to become better later in the game but are heavily countered by void staff- which just about every AP champ ends up builds.

On a side tangent here, penetration items really need to be looked at. They cause a serious problem because it is specifically aimed at only a particular role that causes their late game to be really bad. These items were meant to make damage relative not make 3 entire items obsolete.
