just a reminder that elixers are a thing

Is your game really intense and everyone is at full build? got 2k gold just being useless? want something to boost your chance of victory? let me give the low down on elixers then

First of all there are 4 types elixers each costing 400 gold. they last 3 minutes (+30 sec on kill/assist for some elixers) and they give bonus stats

item 2137 first one: gives 250 hp and both you and minions deal bonus dmg to turrets (good one for tanks) item 2138 you have increased resistance on slows and you create a trail which buffs movement speed of allies (good one for engagers) item 2139 +40 ap +15/5 mp regen and deals 25 true dmg to turrets and champ per attack (whether spell or auto attacks) ( cannot deal deal true dmg on same champion for 5 seconds. can trigger on turrets constantly though) good for mages. item 2140 +25 ad AND 10% lifesteal. good for adcs and fighters

Finally if you have an enemy shaco or rengar it might be wise to use a item 2047 which makes you a walking pink ward (as supposed to the default walking green ward).

I only found about this the other day when my friend told me so I thought i might share it with you guys to help you further in the late games with these buffs. these buffs are really useful and what's also great about it is that it doesnt take up an inventory space. just buy and get buffed for 3 minutes. (makes that gold stash once you have full build not that useless atleast)

Elixirs aren't only for when you're at full build.

If at any point in the game, you know you either a) will win if you win the next teamfight b) will lose if you lose the next teamfight

Then you should probably buy an elixir unless you have enough gold to finish a full item.

The stats are temporary so they're incredibly gold efficient. If you know the enemy team is winning, and there's about to be a Baron fight that if they get Baron they'll end easily since your inhibitors are already open - time to grab an elixir. Winning that fight comes before any other long term plans.

Also - upgrade your trinket for 250g. PLEASE. Earlier than full build too. Like top laners and supports at level 9. Junglers close to that. ADCs and mids the first time you have 250g after backing leftover - and preferably by level 12-14.
