Synergies/similarities are a really complicated issue, and that's the reason right now those section are mostly a mess. Some examples to drive discussion: In conclusion, unfortunately I can't see a set of rules to work in this case.
 * gives the same stat as a while not being similar (different roles/prices);
 * Both the Elixir and the PD works well with an, due to the increased crit chance, reaching the 'optimal' 40%;
 * gives crit chance but doesn't sinergize all that well with (one is for tanky guys, the other for AD carries);
 * and have no similar stat, but are the 2 'must' items for an AD carry;
 * One could even argue that is similar to  and  is similar to.
