So quick question, but hopefully someone can give me a bit of an in depth answer. Lets say that the opposing team has both a 3/0 darius and a 3/0 Ahri. What kind of defense should you build first? I can never quite decide on a item that correctly counters both of these situations, other than GA but that's not really a worthwhile early investment. Any tips?
RevokeFaith1 votesFirst of all, the only you're laning against goes first. Secondly, armor usually goes before MRes if you're jungle. (Jungle deals physical and you'll probably going to take hits from minions and turrets during ganks) However, you'll first want your damage so you clear faster and deal more dmg during ganks.

So Gnarsty1 votesThanks, this is what I was looking for! So in short:
Playing a carry role outside jungle, I should focus on MR generally? Playing Jungle, I should focus more on armor than MR Playing a tank, if I can kite the enemy AD, build MR. If I can't, focus on armor?
Ionian1 votesPlaying a carry role, you build armor if the enemy assassin is ad, mr if ap.
