You seem to basically think "similar items" needs to be best buddies of items as far as similiarities are concerned.

The section is meant to be useful and not take up a huge amount of space (so 6 or less similar items is good, uesful, clean). If I am looking for related items to consider want items with similiar stats and/or abilities. You make it harder for people to make those comparisons. You

don't seem to be thinking from the perspective of providing useful information to players. GLP-800 does not have a spell effect yet it does have a spell still. Rod of Ages has a useful passive, so if you wanted them to have an extra effect, it does, ust not something that directly applies to the enemy. 2 out of 3 key similarities and more that is useful is close enough, so long as there aren't 15 such final stage (legendary/mythical) items you would put on the page because of it.

The Eternity passive on Rod of Ages & Hextech-GLP also helps with both survival and mana sustain and Laindry's Torment dealing additional damage is a way of 1) dealing damage that is independent of your AP, allowing you to grab it for damage that is relatiely strong for your champ if you are not putting so much into AP (i.e. potentially helps you to deal damage while being more of an AP tank) and 2) deal more damage with every ability, getting more damage out of all of your mana. The spell effect on Rylai's Crystal Scepter on the other hand slows the enemy, achieving neither of those two aspects shared between all three of those items you declare are not very similar.

Weirder still, despite this mentality, you apparently expect to keep Blade of the Ruined King on there purely because of its scaling on-hit effect and active, even though it has provides no Health and no AP. It seems you think 1 out of 3 is better than 2 out of 3 in this case.

What's more, not a lot of  champions are going to cause people to think  in game "Hmm, shall I get  Liandry's Torment right now...or Blade of the Ruined King?" Let alone     "Hmm, shall I get  Liandry's Torment right now...or Blade of the Ruined King?"

For me, the similar scaling effect is enough, but certainly LESS of a reason than there is for keeping Rod of Ages and Hextech GLP-800.

You say neither have strong similarities based on them having greater similarity to Liandry's Torment than 50% of the only two items you actually left there.
