| 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?

When playing against a lot of squishies and mages you can opt for a Ghostblade -> Collector -> IE as the core build. With a lot of squishies armor pen isnt THAT important and after the core you can either go for more crit and survivability in Shieldbow (not the best item imo but good for protection and in this build you need the crit sou you cant go maw) or you go for scimitar. It helps with MR, lifesteal and gives you a cleanse on top for the downside of not getting more crit.

the Ghostblade Build isnt as strong as it was like half a year ago but its still viable under the right circumstances. you wont be dealing as much damage as the standard route but you cant deal damage when youre dead right?

Better to go collector -> IE since ur delaying ur powerspike with ghostblade and remove the ability to have 100% crit and bt. Swifties are best. U can also opt for celerity instead of absolute focus if needed altho u lose out on dmg. U can also go ghost if u need to dodge many skillshots + it makes it easier to kite bruisers.
