Idk- on one hand it feels really different in season 3 that what was back in S2, but on the other, I still buy resists, and they help. The only problem is with the stats Void Staff and Last Whisper give. Let's say we have a Lux with rabadon and Athenes ( mag pen boots). She encounters J4 with an Aegis. 2 bad 4 lux, cuz she's gonna get  somewhat peeled off for J4's team to finish her off. Unless she buys ONE 2.2k gold item, which gives her stats of a Needlesly LR. No, wait, it  gives way more because of the reduction; its multiiplying AP on all  your AP items. yay. AP PARTY!

What if


 * Items giving /defensive-stat/ reduction were ~0.8k gold more expensive ;

-srsly, this one staf (or a blue bow :/) is multiplying all your damage, AND giving a flat amount to it ( in reversed order, duh)... a void staff makes a dumb ancient book more eficient than it should be :/


 * Items giving /defensive-stat/ reduction were giving very low ad/ap stats, or even better - utility rather than damage?
