How many should one have and how much is too much?
After someone pointing me to this I started wondering, "Atmogs on a carry?" well, it gives them durability and a decent amount of AD. So, opinions?

It doesn't take much defensive items to make a "carry" a "tanky DPS" imo. Banshee's is almost always core .. Atmogs is nice, but to me it makes the carry a tanky DPS instead.

Just my interpretation of the terms carry/tanky DPS. Banshee's alone, though, doesn't make a carry tanky, but is imo very important, if not even core.

Since mostly AP champs/bursters are the biggest problem for carries it is almost always better to take MR item over Armor as a defensive item for a carry. BV or QS as an example.
Atma's is a nice item for tanky dps champs like Olaf, Mundo, Nasus and so on, as an item for carry... nah... i would still stick with MR.
Did i help you? Click that +Rep

Pretty much what has already been said Banshee's Veil is always good. Of course depending on team comp and how well certain carries are doing you might want to swap it out for Sunfire Aegis something else. Imo you really only want one deffensive item because after that you start to fall behind the other teams carries in damage.

I usually get at least one item.

Negatron cloak to Banshee's Veil is my usual pick.

Otherwise, Guardian Angel is the best bet.

QSS is a stronger choice then Veil and GA imo.

QSS is only a strong pick against teams with one of these guys: Ammumu/Malz/WW/Urgot.

Otherwise, you don't have the same EHP that you get from BV.
Tri lane for life.

Not really, it's more about PICKING what you want to cleanse instead of having some random spell make your item ineffectual.

EDIT: It's also about price aswell which is the biggest selling point.

I only get QSS for scenarios as Temzilla described.

It's a terrible item outside of such.
Why? End Game Gold Value. Temzilla is right about the effective health.

Simple math tells a person that QSS holds back your build.
You're just not as loaded as you could be.
