Hmm, is it just me, or is this the worst of the three snowball items?

I mean, Leviathan is viable since it adds to your survivability, and if you're a tank, you won't be dying much anyways, so you won't be losing your stacks very often.

Mejai's is useful especially for supports since they get assists extremely easily. It's also useful for casters, since, if played smartly, they will not be dying often. Casters should stay near the back of the teamfight and try not to be focused so that they don't die.

But then Sword of the Occult... the only characters that really benefit from this are squishy AD carries. These are almost always the first champions to be focused in a teamfight, and they die the most often of all of the characters. If you get this item on an AD carry, then it has limited usefulness since you'll be focused down so easily... of course, there are exceptions, such as Tryndamere (who never dies), Garen (who is tanky), and Yorick (who is also tanky) among a few others whom I can't remember at the moment.
