Lack of Health + MR Items

Falcon Of Death·Aug 3, 2017·1 votes·345 views

(if you have healing) (niche vs matchup) (limited to ap champs) Pretty much if you're an AD champion and you want MR+HP, you either get Visage or another full item that gives hp in addition to an item listed below

MR Items that don't give health:

limited to mages not slot efficient on most champs limited to mage-supports limited to tanks/split pushers limited to supports limited to tanks/supports

Good item ++, extremely expensive Good item++, extremely expensive Good item ++

extremely op and new

Seems like MR itemization overall is kinda weak, while I wanted to specifically mention MR/HP items since there's only 3 that are all niche

Part of the reasoning behind that is that HP is generally stronger against burst damage than sustained damage. If a burst AP mage throws a full combo at you and you're not dead, they need to wait on cooldowns before they can do meaningful damage again (their autos while waiting don't do that much). So too many options to stack lots of HP and MR at the same time would disproportionately hurt burst mages.

Then again, we've also reached a point now where sustained magic damage is more of a thing than it ever was before, so maybe a revisit on this concept would be useful. That's actually what adaptive helm is intended to help with, at least in theory.
