Can we eventually have a buff on Wit's end ?
Seriously the item is about useless now, it's very niche at best.
Only a few characters build it because they have an extreme synergy with it(
)
But what really annoys me is that when you have a character that could build either or 
, he will systematically build the latter.
Why ? Because Maw outscales Wit's end in almost every case.
Just with the build itself, you can buy hexdrinker in lane if needed, then finish maw later, While you cannot build negatron cloak and Wit's end later because it's underwhelming, it gives only one stat, and you will at best be late for building cloak so early, otherwise you will straight up become useless.
Also, once finished, despite the two items being cost efficient, simply can't compete, because it costs 2500g its stats are just not as valuable as a finished Maw.
Consider this, the job of those item is to provide an offensive option against Magic damage dealer,
Maw does have slightly less MR overall if you count with Wit's end passive, but it gives cooldown reduction, AD, which champions scale way more often with, and a shield when you get low, and when the shield is active you get 10% Lifesteal and Spellvamp until you are out of combat.
Now is not a broken item, it's good, it does his job, but it's nothing gamebreaking.
Wit's end on the other hand, does give you some damage, but you don't scale with it since it's on-hit, it gives you attack speed, and more MR if you dealt 2 Auto-attacks, it steals this MR which makes it so over a long fight, you might deal more damage than if you had , but the thing is, with its poor defensive stats, the item simply doesn't allow to survive that long.
Now I don't really have a perfect solution to this problem, but if you could have something like
(
+
) = (nerfed accordingly )
+ ( Some other item that would add some stats ) = An item around the costs of that would actually feel like it does something.
vs double ap comp, plus others who deal some magic damage
end with 
or 
It gives him some nice damage in fights - synergizing with his w attack speed and the aoe magic damage from his ult while giving him some extra mr.
Making witt's end a cheaper item with less stats is not the solution. It is a niche item, but it is hardly worthless. I actually like it on many aa-based bruisers and fighters if the enemy lacks a lot of hard cc.
For instance, if you have to build tankier on noc because you are the primary engage and don't want to insta-die and rely on ga to revive you...
is a fun drain tank build. Adapt items as needed depending on how tanky you need to be - such as replacing cinderhulk with 
; works for other aa junglers too.
?
and even 
paired with guinsoo. It's not the best but it serves a niche purpose like nashors does
fairly often in ARAM, sometimes in SR too. It feels right on him.
all would be better examples.
Wich is why Wit's should not only become a component item for one, but two items, of which one goes the current rute with magic shred(maybe add some ap) For fighters that have naturaly high magic damage Like Shy, and one with just as, mr and flat magic damage(maybe some ad) so it suits fighters that AA alot and want a more hybrid focused damage profile like Irelia.
