Lich Bane cost is: 3470

For: 80 ap, and after using spell your next auto attack does your normal aa dmg + your ap. (Movement speed and magic resist is a good addition)

If you compare this cost to item like Death cap 140 ap and 30% ap (the first cap is stronger for sure) but when you go for second 140 ap not worth taking it over Lich Bane (60 ap is is like addiotnal 250 dmg in total when lich bane will more than that dmg per few seconds).

But at sometimes you want some defensive items after getting you cap, this why you won't go for more damage boost unless you are playin as glass cannon.
