To the below comment:

The only situation where Void Staff would not be a mandatory purchase is if the enemy is not stacking MR. Which will never happen unless they are low elo. Even against squishies, Void Staff works well, as there is a lot of MR itemization for squishies, which will almost always buy them against you.

Also, if you are playing Vel'Koz, Void Staff is still a mandatory purchase despite his true damage (because most of his damage is still magic). However, you can leave Void Staff to later in the game, unlike other mages, and rely on his true damage early to mid, until you cannot anymore.
