gives you more damage than any other ap item can give you for a 3rd~6th item.

Don't brainlessly stack AP.

The only ones I could think of was cassio, azir and maybe karthus.

Basically those with high sustained damage.

Don't brainlessly stack AP.

Unless the enemy team stacks MR like crazy, you can easily get away with sorcerors shoes and liandri's torments for the flat +30 magic penetration from it. Not counting the 7% magic pen you can get from the red side of masteries too(Or the small flat plus scaling MR shred bonus on the blue side instead). Void staff should only be a later add on grab on if multiple enemy champions are mixing in MR items, since for the ones that aren't stacking it or even including MR in their own rune kits will likely only have around 30 to maybe around 55 MR late game.

Meaning even by middle'ish game your likely going to shred 30 of what is likely 30 to 45 MR off a target. meaning they might as well be taking true damage at that point for the ones who focused on HP stacking, the Void staff unless it is applied first as % MR shredding is not going to show off as much.

Because if it does then 55 MR - (55*.45)=30.25 MR left or so, which combined with sorceror shoes and liandri's will make that once again, to true damage even at end game (almost in a sense).

If your team is usually a mix then tanks will pretty much always have that annoying mix kit which really needs to be part of the problem that needs to be slashed down, such as making some tank items have less hp while some others have less armor or others have less MR, meaning they become more centered around one of those 3 'defensive' stats and it would not be extremely viable if they simply stacked the items, they either become a tank to shut down AD, or a tank to shut down AP, No perfect middleman. Plus HP stacking would just make them insanely squishie sponges when they have the default Armor/MR shreded off to where they might as well be taking an extra 20% to 40% extra damage as a result.
