Thus, the problem is two-fold: Make enough MR items such that every class feels good about needing to buy some off-items for MR.

Two: Make sure that the MR is wide-spread enough such that one rushed item doesn't hard-counter mages.

There's a bunch of sub-goals involved in figuring out which core items can go on what characters in order to fill their MR needs and retuning some of our current MR itemization to simultaneously be less abusive when stacking pure resists but actually a decent MR choice. (BV, for example, suffers from the spell shield cooldown being super long.)
