Talk:Banshee's Veil/@comment-94.172.19.195-20111013164150/@comment-3486816-20111016141345

the active would likely be more useful against a decent veigar than the banshee's passive is, but you need to consider that Banshee's gives almost as much magic resist while also providing a good amount of health, which (depending on your current magic resist and health) can actually lead to greater Effective HP. As your only survivability item, QSS is only better if you're either way in the back of a fight (like you would be as a support), if you have a strong escape (like Tristana or Corki or Shaco), or if you're facing a Malzahar or possibly a Vlad.
