but why would i go liandrys for a very small amount of dot damage, when i can get a bigger ap item. also if i am playing a dot champion, biggest of which i'd say malzahar, deathfire touch mastery does more damage to all enemies at every stage of the game. liandrys ticks for 1% current hp every half second and each tick is counted on its own...the more damage you deal, the less damage liandrys does. most tanks will have about 60% mr. so even something like a 4k mundo would take 12 damage if he had full hp..which of course he wont since you just had to cast a spell to get the affect in the first place. Even on squishies with only about 35-40% mr their low hp will still make liandrys tick for no effect. playing an ad with about 400 hp after a fight, its doing 3-2 damage. my natural regen is higher than that. It is statistiaclly the worst item in game, before its buff with the mage items it had something around a 67% cost efficiency. if you want early magic pen just get a haunting guise and sell it later....it pains me when i see brands rush it with his high burst, katarinas are even worse....worst culprit is teemo in which getting a ludens first is not only the same price, it gives 100ap, 10% move speed which is huge on slow casters, much more than 300hp, and it gives 110 additional damage...and its significantly better late game.
