And you would be right! I admit that this is the biggest downfall of the build, so I keep the build marked as "off-meta." The items are just performing so exceptionally better than the other options that I wanted to make this guide.

However, I do want to note that I used my own judgement as a Riven OTP to not list Guardian Angel as the fifth item; even though by my selection criteria it would be the item of choice, often you get bursted after your revive so the item is rendered useless. I'm considering changing Sterak's as well.

TL;DR this is something I've heavily considered throughout the making and publishing of this guide! I've used a combination of the raw data and my own judgement to make this build as viable as possible.
