Where does this misconception of QSS come from?

You don't buy a QSS for MR, i'm confused as to why everyone thinks you only get QSS against a AP champ with CC.

You buy QSS to negate a powerful ability, I'm tired of everyone thinking that QSS makes your build less optimal or that getting it against a zed, warwick etc is a terrible and annoying choice because it makes you waste like 1350 gold.

Also you don't need to assume that you should get QSS as your first or second item, you can get it at any point but it's recommended during the mid game because that is where most teamfights happen.

Try reading posts about Zed or warwick or something like that

most of them have someone saying something about QSS that's completely untrue

Well, the problem with QSS is that it builds out of a magic resist item.

What that means is that until you have it completed, it is giving you no benefit if you are not against an enemy who deals magic damage.

For example: QSS is great against Zed, but if you can't afford to buy it fully in one go, having the Null-Magic Mantle that it builds out of won't really do you much good against Zed at all. (It will help against his passive, which deals magic damage, but isn't really an optimal item against him on its own.)

Why exactly are you downvoted?

because the same people on the forums that try their hardest to undermine the power of QSS are downvoting.

Have you seen the posts about people saying "I shouldn't have to get QSS to counter this champion" when in reality you HAVE to build according to champions you are up against.

You don't go MR malphite against an all AD team

The thing is you should be able to at least dodge the suppression/Zed ult for how ridiculous they are. If more counterplay existed to those abilities, I wouldn't mind if QSS went away.

I've never heard of someone getting the sash for MR alone. Where is the misconception that there is a misconception? It is a powerful item against champions like WW, especially on a squishy carry.
