Item Tier List

For S-tier, dpeiBIS (anti-heal, shred, and sunder) will always be important items to make regardless of the patch. I also wanted to put other items in this tier like Jeweled Gauntlet, which is a great AP item with good item economy in AP lines which are very dominant right now, Guinsoo's which is just very required item in AD lines right now (aside from Slayers), and Spirit Visage which I think is just the best tank item in the game and a bit overstatted. You will really want these items in your game at some point, and I'd be surprised if you don't have half of these items in your games.

For A-Tier, these items are all incredibly valuable, and either are very strong individually or just pair really well with the S-tier items. Dragon's Claw is better than Bramble in the meta in general because of the rise of AP fast 9 boards, but it will always depend on lobby. It's also good to note that Adaptive Helm is really good in this current meta with AP being strong because it can flex to backline (Mel loves this item) and it gives a ton of Magic Resist as well.

For B-tier, these items either have bad item economy (i.e. Blue Buff and Archangel's Staff for example), but aren't necessarily bad items, but just a bit undertuned or inflexible (i.e. Striker's Flail only good when you have crit, or have as an AD/AS carry, which is not in meta completely in meta).

For C-tier, these items are seldom a good make for your situation. Warmogs is just bad item economy (belts kill your anti-heal), but not necessarily a bad item, but also not exceptional on any particular unit and Crownguard and HoJ are just either not very good or not very flexible. HoJ is really only acceptable for Ambessa specifically or when you have a JG to pair with and you're playing Sett/Sylas (which is really not common).
