Why Quicksilver Sash is Really Good Right Now

item 3140 is generally an item thought to be really bad. However, here a few reasons you should buy it, especially with the recent top tier Juggernaut picks and such, mainly because of what QSS removes. Here are reasons you might want to actually rush a QSS in this meta.

item 3140 removes:

  • Darius Hemorrhage stacks so he can't get tons of AD and/or do tons of damage with his ultimate
  • Mordekaiser ultimate so he can't get his ghost
  • Skarner ultimate so he can't drag you into his team
  • Fiora ultimate so she can't give her team a huge heal and probably kill you
  • Vayne to remove Silver Bolts from you and unstun you from Condemn in a crucial fight
  • Ahri so she can't charm and all-in you all the time
  • Kalista so she can't deal 1000 damage with Rend (needs testing on my part)
  • Thresh so he can't hook you during that needed fight

The list goes on. Basically everything you find annoying is usually countered by Quicksilver Sash. Getting a Banshee's Veil with it when you can can also help. Just a reminder that Quicksilver Sash is incredibly good in the current meta of champions who usually rely on debuffing their opponent to win trades. Also, yes, I do believe it also removes TK passive stacks (but dont do that because I want to win with him ok guys?). The main downside of Quicksilver Sash is it is limited to AD users if you want to make full use of it for the entire game. However, if you are AP, getting Zhonya's can be a decent substitute, although this is still overall better. As a Tank, you are out of luck since the only thing you got is Banshee's Veil. Then again, your purpose as a Tank is to absorb crowd control so an item that makes the enemy not want to do that might be bad.

Qss is very meh against thresh, because even if you cleanse the stun, he's still linked to you, so he can still jump-flay your sorry ass mordekaiser tends to keep his ult until the last second before you die to get the ghost anyway so there isn't much reaction time to use it for darius, you need to cleanse before anyone gets 5 stacks otherwise his passive will make him reapply max stacks instantly banshee's veil is probably the best defensive item to have against vayne in a duel, since condemn is her only ability that can punch through it

Gonna build this on Darius if I ever get a mirror lane again, instant removal of stacks would be a win o.o
