This item doesnt fit with the rest of the shop very well.

1. Attackspeed is capped at 2.5:

Most champions already have abilities which hit the cap if they buy ANY attackspeed item at all. Means that if you buy Devourer or BotRK, the other two strong on-hit-items, then the major part of Wits End is useless already.

2. Magic Resistance overload:

Everyone who wants to buy magic resistance, wants to buy HP aswell. Since there are no good pure-HP or hybrid-HP-AD items beside Frozen Mallet, you HAVE to buy Banshees, Spirit Visage or Locket to get this HP. But 90% of the games have only one enemy who deals significant magic damage, means that buying more than one item with magic resistance would be too much.

So if I play bruisers like Warwick, Trundle, Nocturne, Shyvana or Xin and I only want to buy one item with magic resistance, then I rather buy Banshees, Spirit Visage or Locket than Wits End.

3. On-Hit-competition

Devourer and Blade of the Ruined King are already very strong on-hit items. Building Wits End aswell would not only cause wasted attackspeed and wasted magic resistance, but also leave your champion very squishy. This makes you play like an ad carry, but real ad carries will deal lot more damage with their crit-builds at this point. So if you plan on buying 3 or more offensive items, you are better with Infinity+Phantom+Last Whisper after all.

Considering those points, I have to wonder why anyone would ever buy Wits End at all.
