Well, I can see Soraka taking Mejai's, and I can sorta see tanks taking leviathans, just because they can easily rack up assists. However, the OP is right; the cost needs to go down so that the items can be viable to begin early, and the final bonus needs to be spread out. Also, and this is only an idea, it would be a cool alternative to have some item that allows you to make your current stacks stay. Imagine that you can see yourself getting into a teamfight and dying, so you freeze your stacks at a certain level. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but I think something weird like that belongs as a diverse item pick. Items can be even more interesting with mechanics like that.
