I never really see this item built? what was the reason for it being introduced?
The following items are core to a standard ap champ
then the following feel situational and when theyre needed theyre strong
I never see a need to buy this item ever? i get it could act as a DFG but i find its inconsistency not worth it
Thingamajig2 votesit's a great item on eve ryze vlad cass and maybe some others
it's a choice heavy ap with mobility active on it just like rabaddon but slightly weaker

be realistic, there are 2 champs you should build this on and that's it
and they both are the fast
R0ses R Red2 votesSpellbinder is situational, and half of the other items don't belong in that category. Gunblade and Lich Bane are a core part of AP assassins, and immobile mages will build Zhonya's consistently even if not 100% of the time. From what I've seen, Spellbinder is usually built by the stronger, immobile mages that WANT you to come into their range opposed to a Vel or Lux. You'll see a lot of Annies, Syndras, Dianas, Vlads, and Ryze build it. The item, when built early, consistently has a high winrate that is pretty much only ever second to Deathcap and Mejai's, which are both two win-more items. That's because the item is built when these champions are interested in going hyper-aggressive or are doing well, but not performing well enough to buy Dcap or Mejai's.
