First of all, when it comes to "ridiculous" builds, you do have to realize, this isn't something we look to build cuz we're sick of her core build. In the past 3 weeks, I've gone the Rylai's>Liandry's path once, and that was specifically due to the HP-friendly build path and utility to counter the fed Udyr that was greatly influencing my game. You always build according to the situation.

Another thing you have to realize is that yeah, you can always have a "optimal DPS build" for full build, but a good chunk of the time, especially as an Ahri player, you don't want to be forced to actually wait until then. I run scaling CDR myself, ever since the DFG removal, but even then, if you intentionally drag out the game to let your runes scale out, you may be biting more off than you can chew.

Also for that video, the threshold is 55MR. But after the AP rework (correct me if I'm wrong), I'm actually pretty sure that Void Staff straight up beats Rabadon's at all times when it comes to damage output. I mean, at the end of the day, you still prob need it to increase your utility on heals and shields, and to make the rest of your purchases more cost effective. But if you think the return damage on Q is good enough to not need MPen, I think you need to experience the strength of Abyssal Scepter.
