A lot of changes with AP items in the last few patch cycles. Tier list has been updated to reflect these changes :o
The Structure of the List
Similar to champions - items serve different purposes albeit on a much more varied scale.
So in accordance with this - I've decided to split the list up into five categories.
They will be:
Offensive Magical - This is for dealing increased magical damage or helping your team deal increased magic damage. It is not rated purely on damage and other effects of the item will be considered.
Defensive Magical - This is for negating magical damage or helping your team negate magic damage. It is not rated purely on the durability it gives you and other effects of the item will be considered.
Offensive Physical - This is for dealing increased physical damage or helping your team deal increased physical damage. It is not rated purely on damage and other effects of the item will be considered.
Defensive Physical - This is for negating physical damage or helping your team negate physical damage. It is not rated purely on the durability it gives you and other effects of the item will be considered.
Utility and Support - This is for items that help your team and generally contain items that do not excel in any one category but help you do things that items in the above tiers don't.
You'll understand the categories better once you've seen the list itself.
So on with the list.
