Well when needed ill go merc treads and turn qss into silvermere dawn but my itema offer plenty of shield, healing and revive to last forever but you should try it once on like blind or draft and you will notice a difference especially with the runes dark harvest stacks with every E and evrytime you lower someone to under 50% health and first strike is so broke right now you get like a 1000 gold for killing someone with your ult and goes up per enemy.dont judge a book by its cover! Give them a try and then compare to what you use and then comment and let ke know how well it worked. If your actually good with illaoi then these are perfect and fun.give it a shot it wont hurt Lol
