You only need 1 ECA in a teamfight. That is why IE/LW is superior. You rarely even volley in a teamfight except for chasing since it removes auto attack animations. | ||

450 hp carry w/ arpen quints, vs 700hp carry w/ hp quints and a dorans. Both go back to base, 450hp guy saves for BF, 700hp gets another dorans, and now its 800hp carry vs 1.2k hp carry, you can be so much more aggressive and punishing if the other guy goes vampire scepter or some stupid shit if you get dorans. | ||

I keep reading about rushing to BF, but don't you just end up losing money on selling your D blades instead of just straight up farming for a BF? Or is the tradeoff worth it from the potential extra farm you can get from 3 Dblades? | ||

Triple D-Blade is the one thing that prevents certain nukers/lane control heroes (Kass, Annie, etc.) from kicking carries out of lane. Triple D-Blade also gives you the survivability and life steal to have staying power. The idea is to get triple D-Blade and then a Fort pot - upon activation you've got like 2000 HP and over those 4 minutes you can go around ganking and such and save up for an IE (obv. when it runs out you'll prolly have at best a BF Sword). Not to mention you're significantly stronger during this "down time" as you save up for a BF Sword than a carry who might get the BF Sword earlier but is worthless during a forced dragon fight. | ||

Stacking Dblades has a similar effect. | ||

Well, when you advocate getting crit and armor pen on a hero that's going to be dealing magic damage with his autoattacks and every skill he has, you kinda reduce the hero into a shitty version of the other long ranged dps carry. Trist going IE/LW makes sense because the majority of her damage is physical and she has a steroid spell that accounts for attack speed. She has the range to sit fairly far from a fight and just chew people up with red. Going IE/LW on kog gives you really terrible crits at a super slow rate, then gives you mediocre crits at a somewhat slow rate, but at least you've got that red + super range thing going on, right? | ||

Enter Ashe. Ok, fine, she doesn't have Rapid Fire. Ok, fine, she doesn't have gold card. But she does have an auto-crit, non-stop AoE AD Scaling poking + slow, reliable stun and perma slowing on her attack. She's just the best of both worlds. You can fill your ranged carry slot without compromising your teams CC suite. having that ECA in 45 seconds instead of 75 or w/e doesn't matter at all. Teamfights don't happen more frequently than every 75 seconds. So it's up anyway. It's roughly 500 times more important for you to be able to deal enough damage to fucking kill something in a timely matter once you initiate. | ||

Like that last ranked I played with you guitar when I was soloing that Urgot top. We were pretty even up until I backed for boots 1 and dshield, then I crushed him. Stacking Dblades has a similar effect. right. in that situation it makes sense. you're behind (or even), you need something situational to give you the edge. but lets say you were zoning the urgot and you even got a kill on him. you're not going to worry about him making some valiant comeback with his -2 level disadvantage and no farm. so why are you building a buffer? just get that *whatever kennen buys* instead and push your advantage. i'm not saying triple d-blade is bad always. i think it's the right move when you're down or even. it's just when you're already ahead that i feel like you are pissing away an advantage by building a subpar build | ||

It's pretty simple. One of them has 250ish more HP and 8% more lifesteal, making them less likely to show up with sub100% hp, the other one will do slightly more damage but explodes to nukers. | ||

The damage is absurd. yea, this more or less makes infinity sense. Easy enough to just diversify your damage, so why the fuck not? lol. Like seriously, have you ever seen what a I.E. + BR Carry does? Well, Kog does that with just I.E. because he has a built in BR. Oh and now we can get that stupid armor pen even quicker. lol, goddamn that's so fucking simple I'm mad I never decided to just do that :p. | ||
