can someone explain to me how nid ever wins a lane? my few exploratory games with here have been horrible.

playing AP mid against fizz -> he jumps on me and does damage I just can't return/heal fast enough to be useful
playing AD/tanky top against vlad -> he way outsustains me
playing AD/tanky top against lee sin -> he builds bt first item and can kill me with one combo

and then I proceed to do nothing but push down ~2 towers in midgame before being completely useless lategame.

idk about fizz, but Nid should beat Vlad/Lee Sin pretty hard top lane

Vlad dies to nid really easily if you just jump on him when you're level 6, your weq / wqe combo should easily take half his life lol.
For lee sin, if he just rushes bloodthirster, then you can do the same thing since he won't have any hp... If he builds real items, then you'll have to just farm and outpush/sustain him eventually.
I think you're just underestimating how retardedly op she is. (well, at least OP as in you become a god that one shots everyone and moves really fast temporarily at level 6,11, and 16)

I still don't like BC..

I think the problem was the fact that it gave 250 hp as well as it's ridiculous armor pen. If people want to build straight damage like that, they shouldn't get bonus HP too. If an AD caster wants to build massive damage and arpen thats fine, but they should melt just as fine as they melt you, and that wasn't the case because of the hp. Why don't we just throw 250 hp onto voidstaffs now too? Or IE. Or every item?

I think it's a "role" they have in their mindset. They want it to be used on melee AD casters like Panth, Riven, and Talon. In their mind (and I'm not saying I 100% agree), these melee characters can't afford to build a straight damage item, and they want some sort of defense in place because they're going into melee range. Hence, health. They could have done it with lifesteal, i suppose, but BotRK/Cutlass and BT already cover the Lifesteal/AD items.

That said, there are already "big damage" items with defenses on them, even before new BC. Zhonya, Abyssal, Maw were all high AP or AD and had decent defense on them. Now we have Mercurial Scimitar as well. Whether BC's health is too much or not is debatable, but don't presume high damage/good defense items don't exist elsewhere.


I wouldn't consider Zhonya/Abyssal "high" damage items though. I'd put the high damage AP items at deathcap/void/dfg. Maw only gives you flat damage. BC just RIPS through everyone. Being able to do near true damage on everything is just fucking ridiculous. You no longer need a high AD stat to do dmg. And it's just so low risk because of the hp on it.

I'' also curious though - is that flat armor the only unique part? Or is the entire item unique?

Yes, the nerf to it was reducing the % on each stack, reducing the flat ArPen and making it unique.

2 BCs will still stack 2 debuffs at a time, since the passive is not unique.

Tbh it's still an amazing item for it's cost, it's just not utterly broken when you stack 2-3 of them.

And it's still bad if you rely on burst and can't stack it beforehand compared to LW. People don't learn, and I still want some flat ArPen true AD caster item. :<

so is it fair to say Bloodthirster outclasses blade of the ruined king for almost the same price point? except that blade has a mediocre active slow with pretty weak dmg...

dude its not near true dmg, with lw+ mastery and all 4 stacks of bc u have 55% armor shred, in s2 u could hit 46% armor shred just with lw and mastery, how often are u able to put all 4 stacks of bc in tf before using ur main source of dmg, lets not forget that riot changed arm pen formula but they also decided almost remove/nerf all the flat armor reduction from the game (compare it to ap which can easily hit -70 mr LOL), in s2 all ad casters were basically unavailable because armor was so cheap and easy to stack, now that riot decided to change it u whine like little bitch on bc which has very little to do with it

You realize that Zhonyas gives more AP than void/DFG right? And that if you play a champ that makes use of Abyssal range it's the best AP damage item minus Deathcap? I mean the whole logic behind nerfing Abyssal range was that it's nearly as much damage as dcap yet also makes you tanky.

Both Zhonyas and DFG give 100AP.
