Btw, I'd like to discuss two different ranged AD builds that I wish to compare. There's been a high prevalence of bloodthister core builds for a lot of AD carries where previously i.edge was rarely disputed, so I wish to compare them - the currently popular BT + PD combo, and the I.edge with a zeal and a vamp scepter to compliment the stats.
Option 1: PD + BT (takes up 2 item slots)
5845g 100AD 25% lifesteal 25% crit 55% attack speed 15% movespeed
Option 2: I.edge + Zeal + Vamp Scepter (takes up 3 item slots - not good at all if you buy more than 1 dblade)
5475g 80AD 12% lifesteal 35% critical strike 20% attack speed 8% movespeed + I.edge passive
Since LW and QSS has to be tossed in there generally, let's just assume those two options are your damage core items and that you won't be getting to i.edge if you build BT and vice versa...
Which one looks to be the better core? Option 1 seems to be very fotm right now but is it really any better than option 2? What if green elixir was factored in? What if you have dedicated peelers? What if you have a nunu/nidalee on your team?
I'm only saying this because I've been seeing a lot of people auto-building bloodthisters, and I was wondering if that might be a common mistake or if it's really that cookie cutter.

Shake getting serious champ ADD like Loci now. Diff champ every week.
It's ok though tomorrow I start the path to #1 Xerath status, here's hoping he's not just blatantly OP and banned/picked all the time so I don't get to play =[

I fear they will nerf gunblade and then not give morde any buffs making him a sack of shit. He's still strong now though due to gunblade l0l

Well Season 2 is shaping up to be fantastic. Been on tilt so bad that I've dropped 170 elo and my duoqueue partner has given up on playing ranked forever.

I'd say BT really is cookie cutter. While IE has a potential for higher bursty damage, it suffers from RNG. While it's not as bad since you're attacking pretty fast, you're also missing out on sustain from BT (nice revitalize between fights), and the MS boost (which is really noticable, even if it's only 7%).
In my mind, IE is the roflstomp choice, where you're way ahead and have no current threat to yourself, you don't need the defensiveness and can get pew pew from IE. Otherwise, in even games and ones that you're behind in, BT is the clear choice.
However, yes, I can see using IE. It's enough of a difference where I consider BT the winner, but not enough of one that IE is just "trash". You can build either and probably do fine.

I choose option 3: Black Cleaver + PD

Hm. I'm not a great AD Player but I'll throw my $0.02 in.
For the most part, I stick to IE on Trist+Ashe, and go BT on Vayne. (Don't really play other ADs). Me reasoning is that with Trist, you have a AS Steriod on Q so going a heavy crit item synergises well. Thanks to her scaling range and jump, getting lots of lifesteal isn't a heavy priority. With, Ashe, when you're doing the whole roaming around with team phase, you'll be building up that crit chance so you can open the engagement with a guaranteed massive damage crit, and thanks to kiting you can keep critting them. If you do get focused, you're going to explode almost instantly even with lifesteal (Ashe is your stereotypical squishy), so a BT won't help so much mid-game. With these champs, BT feels more like a nice end-game item once you have everything else like Banshee/QSS that lets you not get CC-ed down and explode so you can fight longer.
With Vayne, I want raw AD from BT because it it's really tasty with 0.6 AD ratio on Q with 2 sec CD. Also, if you're tying to stick to someone for the 3rd hit proc, I feel really open so lifesteal lets me stick to people longer. Vayne has a really short autoattack range so it just feels safer having more lifesteal to back you up. In lanes or in random ganks, having more raw AD to run off your E feels nice too. Getting your PD faster is also great since more MS+AS feels awesome.

What about on a champion like Ashe that gets extra benefit from the Infinity Edge (because of her passive, the first hit in a fight is always a crit)?

I've been favoring the wit's end / bloodrazor combo on ranged ad nowadays since every team I play has atleast 1-2 people going atmogs to ruin my day

With Ranged+AD/Support being the meta game, I've been starting cloth armour 5 pots as a Ranged AD against any team with a Janna. You build wriggle's for superior sustainability/dragonability then get IE PD and LW
|
Cleaver really does taper off as the game goes on. After some testing, I found that it doesn't help much on top of arpen runes against low armor targets, and it's not great against high armor targets (you need LW for that). I asked about it before, and then ran a few games with it. Not as strong as IE, not as useful as BT.
I mean, if all your lane opponent starts with cloth armor, I guess it can be nice, but against tougher stuff later on it's just hard to consistently have those stacks up. I'd rather have IE/BT and LW than BC.

Nice on Kog, not great on Cait/Vayne/MF/Ez/Trist/etc. Better to get ArPen and straight damage.

BT definitely can keep up with IE for a while.
I still dislike the BT PD build. It just doesn't scale very well. IE builds just scale better as the game progresses, and the available item selection plays a role in that: LW adds another bunch of AD (bad for the already AD heavy BT), and crit items are relatively convenient to build as the game goes on.
If you started Wriggles, you REALLY should get an IE next.
All of that aside: BT PD is WAY too red. Not nearly yellow enough.

I run APen on Kog all the time and still get Wit's End. APen has a much bigger impact usually.
I'm currently only really playing Cait and Kog (I want to win, sue me). On Cait I go Wriggle's > IE > PD / LW / Wit's most of the time. On Kog it's usually (Wriggle's > ) Wit's > Triforce > whatever.

i don't think you should ever pick your items based on ashe's passive... Aside from how small it's impact on the game is gonna be, it doesn't even have especially good synergy with iedge since all the gold you spent on crit chance is irrelevant for that one shot.

If you're planning on this build I can see dropping crit damage for magic pen working wonders.

According to chaox, wriggle worth it as long as the armor is valuable in teamfights (for instance vs nocturne/LS... maybe gp if he can get to you somehow).
|
he also said wriggles is bad if you're ahead in lane and good if you're behind.
