Shurelya's Battlesong: A good item. Definite must for every team. Usually taken by the support or the initiator (tank, tanky dps, etc). Usually 1 to 2 per team is enough. Anyone can get it but for the statistics it gives, more suited for initiators and support type champions.

^Yep ik that, and also JhoiJhoi, ik that... Thats why i said for people like Lee Sin or Olaf its terrible. Thought you can have 1, or 2 per team, what if you have none :O Supports get them at 20-35 minutes usually. Tanks? I have yet to see any tank really get Shurelya's beside me... Just shows how much people know >.> So I get one for that reason, and all the stats are relevent on Lux. I'll give the Tome a try, to see how it works now.

Edit: Also Morgana and Ori, both have a much better late game, because they are medium range champions. They have the option of things like Scepter, and RoA. Unlike Lux...
Thanks to everyone that has made me a sig!

Other champions can also effectively use Shurelya's Battlesong because they themselves need it

These champions include: Nasus, Hecarim, Udyr (rare occasions), Volibear, etc.

Supports usually get this as there first or second major item. I get this before Aegis of the Legion.

I think Shurelya's is viable on most champions that actually build tank and don't focus on scalings. These include Amumu, Singed, Maokai, jungle Alistar, Skarner, Malphite, Blitzcrank, Sejuani, Rammus and probably more that I haven't thought of. It's really only the "tanky DPS" champs that actually want to build offense that can't really afford to sacrifice the gold and item slot.
Thanks to Jovy for the sig!

Because there's no reason to get a pure-utility item on an AP mid...
Why get it on an AP mid and build away from core caster builds when you are able to get it on a support or jungler who's item build includes Philo already?

It's the same reason as to why AD carries don't build Shurelya's.

Anyways you get it on support for sure (it's core) and utility junglers who's build already include philo (eg: utility skarner focused on initiations and peeling rather than damage, maokai focused on CC and peeling)

AD carries aren't as reliant on mp5, CDR and mobility as Lux is.
