Cata passive is incredible in the laning phase. Id probably still get catalyst even if it didnt build into anything and sell it when I hit level 18. The fact it has 2 awesome options is part of it, but the item by itself is incredible.

Used to be THREE awesome options.

And are you saying that if IE/BT/BC didn't exist, people would stop buying BF Sword? Because I'm not sure I agree with that--you still need a source of straight AD as a ranged carry, and BF Sword would be one of the best ways to get it if the stuff it builds into didn't exist.

Without the stuff it builds into? In that case I think madreds+mallet would be the go to for ranged carries.

Isn't Manamune the most cost-efficient item for raw damage?

Imo it's entirely Riot's fault noone is using AD items. Like they intentionally designed items that are useful for autoattackers and then intentionally flooded the game with champions who mostly rely on abilities with raw AD scaling. Items that are good for autoattacks usually have a lot of their cost in other stats than damage, but those stats are wasted. Why would an Urgot (insert anyone with AD-scaling abilities) want Crit Damage? Or Attack Speed? Or Armor reduction on hit? Or Crit Chance? Or whatever other gimmicky bonuses you see on autoattacker items. All he needs is raw damage, CDR and armor penetration and since all those bonuses are unique except for raw damage he will just build his 3 core items and then walk around without a way to itemize. You cannot stack Last Whispers, you cannot stack Brutalizers and you cannot stack Manamune. You can stack Bloodthirsters technically, but relying on not dying for damage is bad for most AD-scaling champions since they are either melee or very short-ranged.

This is all very contrasting with the initial hero set where Ability Power was, really, ability power, something to increase the effectiveness of your abilities while damage was relevant to your autoattacks. Take Tristana, Yi or Jax. Riot took a risky route by messing it all up and now AP and AD aren't what they are supposed to be.

Someone reached 10k referrals and has unlocked the last reward:

What was the third option? I'm guessing it never made it out of beta.

I plead the third.

Having watched the new art spotlight, it strikes me as interesting that immediately following Lee Sin's release we have a horribly scarred and burning champion. It wouldn't surprise me if Riot hedged their bets in the Ionia vs Noxus match and had Brand ready in case Ionia lost.

Yes, you have an elo for normals as well. It is just hidden.
