Stacking all the magic pen that you can get your hands on is not always a great idea. If you have Sorc shoes, Archaic Knowledge and flat magic pen Marks, someone needs to have about 70 MR before the Void staff is even taking away as much MR as a Haunting Guise. In other words, it doesn't help a lot against squishy targets unless they are stacked with things like Banshee's and Merc's.

Consider that for the 2300g that you spend on Void, you could have either a Morello's Evil Tome or Will of the Ancients. The AP that all three items give you is about the same, but WotA also gives +30AP and 25% Spell Vamp to the team, and Morello's is a big CDR boost and MP regen for yourself (helps considerably for when you don't have blue buff cooking).

Void's good, but only to counter MR stacking. I'd rather put the gold towards other items, personally, when the other team has people going glass cannon.
