"You're kinda underrating that 100 dmg. For starters: You don't need magpen on a character that everybody is going to try and counter with armor, not magic resistance."

No what it means is that it'll do crap damage due to base MR and Bulwark.

"And secondly, it rarely becomes just 100 dmg. With masteries, a crit already deals 205 (210 if you're melee) magic damage instead, up to 255 (260) with IE. And it becomes more and more with crit dmg runes, not to mention how fast it actually charges with just movement."

I'm not entirely sure that it's improved by IE and masteries, obviously higher crit chance will improve it's likelihood, but I'm not sure it's critical damage magnitude can be improved. It does charge quickly, I'll agree with that.

"About poking, some carries like Ez, MF, GP can use it as if it was a cheaper Trinity with their Qs. "

GP doesn't count since he's not really a carry but yes, Ezreal and to a lesser extent MF can abuse it. That's really just two edge cases though. You're also still ignoring that you cannot control the additional targets of the proc.

I would strongly, strongly recommend a defensive item as a sixth item over Stattik.
