Whenever I play ADC or AD assassins, or tanks, or skirmishers I feel like I have so many options to choose from. From items like adaptive helm, to abyssal mask, to Mercurial Scimitirar, to Hexdrinker there are actually so many viable items.
While on almost every AP champion I'm restricted to the same items on virtually every champion besides maybe 1 playstyle specific item like a Rod of Ages, Protobelt, or Seraph's Embrace.
Eedat14 votesAD assassin core options:
+ Electrocute
..............
Penns14 votesCore is not "options" tho
Their options are 
AP options are 
... 
? lel
HaIlMonitor7 votesYou didnt even put all the ap items??? lol wtf
Penns3 votesBcuz they are core items for the champs that build them, except Void Staff maybe
RocketRelm13 votesWell, Void Staff is core on any AP champion that isn't a support and intends to do magic damage. I kind of hope that whatever "ap item rework" they've got coming makes AP items great again, but given that the Mid Year Mage Update is what put AP itemization in the dumpster, and that their response to not compensating AP champions for rune changes was "put even more of the AP power budget into Void+Sorc Boots, I'm not sure how much faith I have in it.
Divewing1 votesActually, the MYMU just put AP Itemisation further in the dumpster.
DFG's removal and subsequent replacement was Riot taking a shot from the 3-pointer line (granted it kinda had to happen)
Eedat11 votesSure if you ignore
But hey, why give the whole list when you can just list a third of them to make your argument sounds better. Or are you going to tell me as a Fizz main you conveniently "forgot" about Lich and Protobelt?
But hey, is an assassin item now I guess lol
Fizz Akabane1 votesMost of these AD items are are sometimes "good" on AD assassins like IE as last item on Talon or Bork on Zed or something. Protobelt/GLP/Tear arent an option ever unless they are already a core item ( 
)
Got banned for 3 days for spreading the word of the godly revert so I gotta respond on this account lel
Tails90162 votesBut hey,
Anything to get Press the attack/Electrocute off sooner
Eedat4 votesAnything to get Press the attack/Electrocute off sooner
Anything
LordGeovanni1 votes because immediate 95 ap isnt powerful when it scales to 140 because we didnt get the 140 right away
AirKingNeo1 votesAssassins can't buy IE, BT, BoRK, LDR, Mortal, or either Hydra (well no one does Rav Hydra anymore).
Shadòw4 votes
Infinite Saught3 votesAll of those besides Void Staff are situational though. Deathcap isn't built anymore because of the gold sink for no real utility unless you're very fed. And even by then, the game is probably already over.
Poske1 votesalso If you are fed its better of to get utility since you probably already do damage
LordGeovanni1 votescomplains about magic resist items when they still 80% chunk people with magic resist but wont but the best ap item in the game because its a gold sink like thats not what last items are for. look at all the utility
Poske1 votes 
This are most common items
Anything else has mana scallings like ryze,kassadin, or desperately needs mana lika anivia/Karthus Tear Rod build
Hybrid scallings like katarina/akali
wierd 
with le blanc
Desperation build to make ekko viable
Sol builds glp
and there you are covered
LordGeovanni1 votesI like how you mash up 3 diffrent classes as options for non mages versus mages having much more options for any of those 1 classes. isnt even an options same way 
isnt an option for mages or .
you dropped these
Rexxiee3 votesIs this a troll thread? 
+ = 2600 gold to do true damage to every non tank champ in the game that doesnt have 1 full MR item.
Mpen is ridiculously broken atm, you HAVE to build 1 full MR item as a bruiser to not get 100-0d by any ap atm since they all do true damage and you cant start with 12 flat mr anymore.
leakinb2 votes2600 gold for 25 extra AP
When you pay 300 more (2900) you can get which is the most broken ad items
My Waifu Vanilla1 votesDoing true damage also causes your bases to not get dropped by like 25% which means your all-in combo depending on the mage will do probably close to 100+ extra damage each time. There is a reason champions like Brand/Malz have ALWAYS opted for Pen over AP early game because their bases are astronomical and benefit from doing near true damage to people early on.
Dorans Pants2 votesI just accepted that riot is not capable of balancing mages or their itemization and one small update won´t solve these fundamental issues it has. can´t wait for them to pull a "mage update 2.0", where they break 2 champs (or items in this case), make 3 useless or obsolete and fuck around with the rest without accomplishing anything.
i guarantee you. they could do 3 updates dedicated to ap itemisation and it would still be as restricted, BORING and underwhelming as it is right now.
Evil Yasuo2 votesAssassins have 2 (technically 3 but edge of night is literally never built) items. Lethality items are assassin items. The other items you named are bruiser or adc items.
Warlord Scrap1 votesRiots stated there doing an ap item update sometime in season 8
ÈvilMorty1 votesWhen i play 
its the same build every game. Core: 
or
And because these items are so I can survive this who can one shot who faster meta (also synergize's really well) that leaves one slot left but will most likely go to
Poske1 votesyou build void as 5th item xd?
