shiv is also more preferable if your opponents have more armor than MR, and less preferable if the opposite.

another thing to keep in mind is that shiv works with displacement abilities like vayne tumble.

Strictly from a stats perspective, PD is probably better. The passive on Shiv is nice, but not amazing.

However, something to think about is not the total cost of the two items, but rather what you get from upgrading the Zeal which you need for both items. I'm of the opinion that the stats you get from upgrading to PD from Zeal isn't really worth the cost when compared to Shiv.

There is also the fact that BT is a much stronger alternative to IE now, combined with the way penetration works, that BT + LW seems to be the new core, over IE + PD for a lot of the popular carries right now. No longer is the holy trinity of AD/Crit/AS completely dominant, and fitting in an IE is much more awkward now. Without the early IE, I'm hesitant to value the crit and as from the PD as favorably when compared to the Shiv passive. Also, 1% more MS. MS op!

This is Kayle's DPS with BT PD

This is Kayle's DPS with BT Shiv
315
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/kayle/?items=73,261&level=18&fspells=true

After two seconds of autoattacking PD will start doing more dps to the primary target.
At which point shiv's proc becomes trivial.

Here's Kayle with IE PD BT
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/kayle/?items=73,89,60&level=18&fspells=true
Here it is with IE BT Shiv
http://leaguecraft.com/builder/kayle/?items=73,261,60&level=18&fspells=true

You now make the proc damage back in a bit over 1 second with PD.

Leaguecraft assumes BT is fully stacked
It also has the wrong base stats for Kayle
No masteries or runes were added
Kayle is level 18
Often times leaguecraft has a buggy calculator. I prefer to do mine by hand but w/e.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

PD does more damage but also it's more expensive, need to remember that =P

Also constant AA is not always practical, as is pointed out time and time again. Also pushing power on ADs without easily accesible waveclear isn't factored into the calculation of pure DPS.

Shiv isn't about DPS, it's about poke.

Those crit chain lightning pokes are pretty great if you have a champ that can abuse the range like Caitlyn or Ezreal or Ashe.

Ashe? If you "poke" at 600 range on Ashe chances are you're gonna die ._.

Yeah probably true.

Ashe's passive means it's a guaranteed crit though. Something's gotta work with Ashe's passive. It cries at night because nobody loves it.

Personally, I only really like grabbing Shiv on carries who can make use of the movement portion of the charging. Its perfect for Ez because of his ability to bounce around like a pinball, and his ability to have long range poke.

Similarly, I dont think it would be that bad an option for Trist. Possibly Kog if I knew I needed a lot of wave clear, but even then I would lean towards PD. Both have long enough range to make the poke really come out to play.

Edit: whoa damn, when did I hit 7k posts?

a lot of people pick up shiv over PD just for the build path. the extra gold on avarice in games that nothing is happening mid game cant be overlooked, as well as it only being 2 items as opposed to PD's 3.

Just tested whether Lay Waste can be seen through Fog of War. The wiki was wrong, but someone has already fixed it. Jungle Karthas survives.

I was skeptical because I would have imagined it would have come up in a pro game as it would have made things like sneaky barons and dragons obvious.

You CAN see the explosion if you are outside a bush, and he Q's inside the bush (the animation is 'too big' to fit in the bush, i guess?)


Right, the actual AoE of Lay Waste is larger than the "skittle", so if you cast it in a bush that an enemy has vision of they'll see it. However if you just fire them in the depths of the Fog of War they can't be seen.
