Since I've seen so many AD lately rushing BT again and at mid game end up with BT + PD and either a defensive item or LW and still can't beat the other AD carry who is behind with IE PD / Vamp scepter The thing is you dont need to beat there ad carry as such. I often go BT myself because at lower elos your not going to get enough protection and peels so your first worry is surviving and beating bruisers. | ||

I don't like BT on Ez and Corki because it gives you no damage I feel like. What's a bit of extra AD on already strong poke, when you can just improve your auto attack DPS which is what they are weak at compared to other ADs. Even BT on graves I don't like that much. When I play melees I'm always super happy when enemy AD goes BT because I know he's not a big threat until he gets IE PD and LW and he probably wants GA before all that so if I have a FH or Randuins and he has BT or BT PD he now needs IE for DPS, LW for armour pen, and QSS/GA to avoid being 1 combo'd by burst, and I feel like that's overloading the AD's gold. Some champs are exceptions here like I feel vayne can get away with it because of her absurd damage. | ||

If you do the calculations out it provides very little dps increase when you're in a role that traditionally has long cooldowns so cdr isn't as useful, and you rely on autoattacks. I personally don't feel like melee champs can use attack speed all that well since they're always moving in between autoattacks. So that aura isn't doing as much for them as you think it is either. As far as unconventional AD builds that beat bruisers go, I think your best bet at beating a bruiser is to kite them. That means that unless you are ashe, you should get a phage. | ||

Max W first Berzerkers>Malady>Dcap>DFG ~350 AP total With this build you should chunk down ~33% of their HP with 3 blight stacks with each Q or E. Plus you can proc it again with your ult dealing ~700 damage with all the extra ap. Add in the DFG and that gives you 4 bursts of ~33% of their total HP in fights. Your auto attacks will also gain another ~90 damage from all the AP. Thoughts? I tried a couple of normal games running AP Varus mid recently, and it went quite well. Used a very different build though. Of course, in a real fight, it's very unlikely you'll ever be able to use the ideal rotation of 3 stacks, ability, 3 stacks, ability, 3 stacks, ability. | ||

Since I've seen so many AD lately rushing BT again and at mid game end up with BT + PD and either a defensive item or LW and still can't beat the other AD carry who is behind with IE PD / Vamp scepter Two things. If you have IE + Zerker's + 1 Doran + Scepter, the enemy has BT + Zerker's + 1 Doran + Zeal. Assuming you have a base AD of 75 the IE build will actually do less damage (216.6 DPS vs 225.8 DPS). IE will eventually outdamage BT, but the point is to abuse BT's early completion, better mid-game damage, and significantly better healing to dominate. Also, if you have IE the laning phase should be over. If it isn't, end it and start carrying because it should be. I'm ultimately dissing IE not because you can't carry with it, but because a lot of players build it as if there's going to be a late-game, and then complain bitterly about allies feeding when it was within their power to build a strong mid-game item, stop farming, and bail out their team. | ||

All they had to do was stand between me and the towers while I siege them and we win, but they couldn't even do that. I couldn't stop laughing at how absurd the situation was. | ||
