Void staff vs death cap. What does more damage?

I only play veigar and I always build the death cap before void staff to get the extra ap. Shouldn't that do more damage since I get a massive increase in ap besides the pen?

well item 3135 is a sooner power spike while item 3089 is a later, but heavier power spike.

But in current meta you want to always go item 3135 first, even on Veigar .

Buying item 3089 as anything else than your 4th or last item simply doesn't pay off. It's too expensive and has a too bad build path so it basically completely takes you out of the game for a while if you decide to rush it.

Void staff is always better unless they have no to little MR. Like Shadow said, Deathcap is way too expensive and has a crap build path.

i buy void 2nd or 3rd on veig, its cheaper and is usually stronger if not equal

Unless majority of the enemy team is ranged, it's better to buy Void Staff first instead of Death Cap because Void Staff is better unless they have basically no MR. It also costs significantly less and only gets better the more MR they get. Death Cap was nerfed to basically not be worth it unless you already have at least 3 AP items.

For viegar it might be worth getting deathcap due to his unlimited ap scaling. I almost always go void on any ap champ, someone did the math on a yt video and the magic number of mr that the enemy had was in the 40's that's the point where void staff is more efficient. You spike faster which is important as most games don't give you enough time to build death cap.
