- with the change of mana banking, Shojin became a universal item for all casters
- you can also notice that BIS for casters is either Nashors or Redbuff/shiv - this is because all casters want to cast as much as possible, this is more important to them than having a flat AP/effect from the item
- that is why in this set Redbuff is almost always better than Morello. But do not forget about item economy. It is rare when you can do Redbuff + Nashors/shiv playing for casters, so be careful and give priority to the item that you need more now
- 2 cost, 3 cost or 4 cost carries
Blue Buff

Ahri
Veigar
Hwei

- Blue Buff is a BIS for casters who can KILL champions to get damage amp
- also Blue Buff is a BIS item for Hwei and Veigar in combination with Shojin. Why? Both of these champions have 40 mana, Blue Buff reduces 10 mana and it turns out that they can cast every 2 auto attacks
- Veigar, Hwei, Nami or Karma
Melee carries
Bloodthirster
Sterak's Gage
Edge of Night

Poppy
Kassadin
Nilah
Akali
Wukong
Hecarim
Olaf
Fiora
Briar
Camille
- most melee champions are drain tanks that always want to have a heal item. Also Edge is strong on melee again in this set! There are a lot of carries that pick one target and damage them until they kill it, so being able to drop off aggro is great
- often melee carries want to use 2 of 3 (BT, Sterak, Edge) items and have the last item as utility/damage
- 2 cost, Wukong hero aug, Olaf or Fiora
