its good on SOME dps casters. but on ap burst champs like akali, i like building haunting guise early if i know im gonna snowball, and then sell it later when i get a void staff. liandry's just isnt worth it at all

I think Liandry's is best suited for Tanky AP champions.

The debuff it applies does not scale with AP and the spell pen on it is perfect for tank AP which don't build much AP and instead user their skill's base damage.

Plus the item adds some health to make them more tanky.

Its core on my top Alistar, Rumble and Cho'Gath.

Top Alistar is by far the best character I've found with this because Iceborn gauntlets are amazing on Ali...and this item is amazing with iceborn gauntlets.

Liandry's is a laner's choice - anybody who likes drawn-out fights, and is especially prefered by champions who have one or more ways to de-mobilize their target: Swain comes to mind, but so does Mundo. The real power of Liandry's, like Morello's, is that it helps mitigate regeneration, which directly opposes harassment.

liandrys is an item which allows you tu burn a part of your enemies hp whenever u deal SPELL DAMAGE and this item is good with ap dot abilities like morde's children of the grave as every time it deals damage it burns that 5% of their hp but this is not good with aoe area things like morganas tourmented soil or malzahars null zone. it also gives you a reasonable amount of ap and health so if u need survivability and ap together theres ur item

scales amazing with elise's Q attacks, since she already deals hp % with these.

I like it on tanky AP champs, as it tends to give them some umph. Makes Cho scary in lane, since it procs passive E. Nice to whittle them down until you can eat them.

Also build on Rumble, since he is an AP without mana, his choices are rather limited without wasting gold.

A must have for offensive Amumu's for sure, and maybe even Singed.
