Morellonomicon too efficient but void staff not efficient enough.

First off Morellonomicon is just straight up way too good right now. Not that it's super overpowered or anything but it's just way too gold efficient (117% without its grievous wounds and 20% mana recovery on kills/assists) and has a super amazing build path. On the other hand void staff is one of the most gold inefficient items in the game with in my opinion the worst build path in the game, tome+blasting wand+1365 gold combine cost (highest combine cost in the game, beats rabadons by 100 gold).

IMO right now Morellos is way too good and void staff sucks but I think theres a cool solution here that could use both items. I think it'd be a good idea to follow the formula laid out by the last whisper item path for AD champs:

  • Make a 1200-1400 gold item built from blasting wand that grants 20% bonus magic penetration.
  • From there split the build path into two directions, a morellonomicon build path for grievous wounds and more magic pen but minus the mana regen and less CDR and a new item. Maybe a deathfire grasp callback?

No, Morello's is just too efficient. That's one of the few problems with AP itemization. Too much of a must-buy.

as someone who plays a decent amount of ap mids I would love this because sometimes, I feel no incentive to get an 80 ap pen item when I can just be like, eh might as well get deathcap
