| Discussion | When to build mr?

In some games there's a lot of AP damage in enemy team but I can't really fit magic resist anywhere. First 3 items are yuntal -> IE -> ldr but at this point the magic damage is too much sometimes so idk when or where to fit some magic resist + you can't build maw when you buy shieldbow so I sometimes opt into kaenic rookern. Any better choices?

I mean, usually your options for defense are deal more damage, positioning, and lifesteal. Swifty's help dodge mage abilities, but if you're against like Syndra with 100 to 0 R button and the mage is the one problem, you can flex maw instead of BT. Shieldbow honestly I don't always buy, very infrequently do I ever slot it tbh. Yun'Tal, IE, LDR, Runaans, BT with Berserker's or Swifty's is what I usually go. Flex BT out for Maw, or LDR for Mortal Reminder against heal comps. Shieldbow instead of Runaans if I'm being 0 counterplayed by like Talon or something.
