User blog comment:Mineko Charat Lucky/Stop Telling Me What to Build, Thanks/@comment-5556439-20131014041303

Now while I wouldnt necessarily build a FH on Anivia, I would build Zhonyas and try to get the jungler to get FH, but its not really THAT bad of a choice.

People are just idiots when it comes to items. Builds like BotRK/PD are absolutely retarded and offer nothing to your output, whereas BotRK/IE is 10x more efficient and powerful.

When it comes to builds you want to know this:

1.) When does my champion hit their biggest NATURAL power-spike.(Elise lvl 9, Ezreal lvl 11, Vayne lvl 11 etc.) Build an item that would compliment this power spike in a certain way.

2.) What items are most efficient as a first or second buy in relation to the way my champ plays.( Cait with IE, Vayne with BotRK, Renekton with Sunfire etc.)

3.) Will counterbuilding come of anything? Whats the point of building QSS if they only have one average length stun? Whats the point of building Thornmail if they only have a Ashe?

4.) Is my champion effective in the late game or am I team-reliant? If your the latter, you should definetly look into a defensive item or a peel item like Mallet or GA.

While I dont think this is really the solution to the problem here, I do feel that players need to understand why things are built and why building the same items each game is a bad choice.
