Playing as a mage when a team-mate says...
"They're all AD, stack armor everyone!"
glances at the single armor + AP item
Okay.

is the only ad/armor item. They may be asking you to forgo a damage item to build an effective defensive item against their whole team.

Playing as a mage with relatively high cooldowns early in the game (like 
) when a team-mate says "report Zyra not doing anything after using spells"
Watching the mage haters downvote this is making me laugh, haha

+ but you need a brain to build tabi it seem
im sure some mages are ok with tank items too
I found taking tabis against full ad team as swain to be super helpful. They just can’t out do your healing so even though in the beginning you can’t burst them down you can at least out sustain their damage.
I mean, depending on who you are you can grab tabis, aa and fh.
Usually you won’t want much armor anyway, since they’ll just stack shred and outscale you. Armor stacking versus full AD only works if you can commit three whole item slots to purely defensive items. Otherwise, just build your typical damage plus a little HP to survive burst and some early armor to facilitate a strong mid game. Decide if Tabis would be better than your standard boots (Sorcs for mages, based on enemy likeliness to stack MR). Consider rushing Seeker’s. Only upgrade to Zhonya’s if you need the active, and only after finishing at least one other item. Remember, armor will be most effective mid game before percent pen becomes more common, so you don’t want to overcommit to it.
Honestly if I'm really struggling against an all AD comp Ill forgo the last damage item and grab a Randuins or Frozen Heart lol.
Zhonya,s wont protect you from all, but even just that item often stops some of the cheese enough to let you survive (Zed's poke/ult). And I am not talking about the stasis. The small bit of armor does take off the edge.
However, I still only really get it if the player is getting leverage on me and I need it. Usually if I am avoiding most their damage and they aren't bullying me out of lane I don't get it.
this counts with transcendence right?
