Talk:Liandry's Torment/@comment-26351351-20150428042752

In terms of bang for buck, it may not be the best item for /certain/ assassin or mage champions, particularly those with high AP scaling that are focused on instagib KO's. But in other situations, it can be really useful.

Some AP assassin champs with very low AP scaling actually end up seeing larger damage increases, especially at mid or late game, from magic pen. If they're building Haunting Guise anyway, 1415 gold for Liandry's becomes a lot more of an attractive prospect. If they have the mobility or ranged abilities to survive it, this item is useful for adding standoff ability with beefier champs.

Where I think this item really shines, though, is with bully mages who rely on low CD, low mana cost nukes to be pushy.
