The main thing that makes this build really strong IMO is Runaan's + BOTRK. Being able to life on hit no matter how tanky someone is, 100% consistency due to no crit, and much higher attack speed allows you to gain life really quickly. In a regular game, when someone has boots 2, BOTRK and Hurricane, they have 1.9 attack speed and 30-90 life on hit. With similar gold values, someone has boots, zeal, cloak of agility and BT with 1.3 attack speed. Vayne would simply demolish other people with the first build.

I also think people are overestimating the power of crits. Unless you are Tristana/Caitlyn, you're not getting enough critical multiplier/chance as the IE will be a 5th to 6th item.

BotRK is % hp damage, sure, which is 100% consistent downward scaling AD as you hit them. Wtf is hurricane in there? Hurricane is a trash item because it only gives you one stat that you already get free scaling on and the SUPER KEWL LAZARS part of it requires ezreal to constantly be in auto range of 3 people to even have an effect. You're experiencing cognitive dissonance and projecting your own overestimation of your build's damage onto us.

You're arguing that it does more damage than PD/IE/BT/LW and that's just straight up not true. We're not talking about exact cost effectiveness of a specific amount of gold--your example compares BT/Zeal/Cloak with Hurricane/BotRK which might outdamage BT/Zeal/Cloak for about 1000 gold if your opponent has 3.5k life when you have 2 items, but then you get PD and it's just clearly superior...


Err, you must be misunderstanding something but late game, I clearly said in a few points that this build does not do more single target damage late game. I said that it does around 65% damage of a usual ADC build at the lowest amounts (HP is around 200ish) in one of my previously posts. The post you are referencing is talking about the early game dueling capacity with that specific build WITH VAYNE whose W will be even more powerful due to the high attack speed and superior life gain.

Okay, if we're talking about Vayne, then why are you including "superior life gain" as a stat at all? Vayne's w proc doesn't trigger lifesteal. I'm pretty sure you've just completely lost your argument and unwilling to admit it. I'm also willing to bet that you'd kill someone faster with a BT/zeal/cloak than with BotRK/Hurricane, even if I would upgrade Zeal to Shiv instead of buying cloak.

Seriously your last sentence is just dumb, how does life gain affect w at all?


I mistyped, but what I wanted to say is that W will proc more often due to higher attack speed, and higher attack speed will in turn increase the life on hit that BOTRK gives. I'm not sure if you know this, but on the PBE, the life on hit from BOTRK is based off 30% of your total AD. Not only is it not affected by resists, but the effect procs off each Runaan bolt.

If you want to see what kills faster with BT/Zeal/cloak versus BOTRK/Hurricane, here's some math with Vayne.

With BT/Zeal/Cloak/greaves, you have about 205ish AD with a fully stacked BT, 25% chance to crit, 1.1 attack speed. DPS will be 281.875 without counting silver bolts.

With BOTRK/Runaan/Greaves, you have 135 AD and 1.7 attack speed. 230 DPS without counting silver bolt and the 5% hp passive. With a 1500 hp target, 357 DPS accounting for the passive.

Against a 1500 HP target, silver bolts does 180 true damage. Now, with 1.7 attack speed vs 1.1 attack speed, how much of a difference does that make? 1.7 attack speed gives 102 true damage while 1.1 gives 66.

It does do more damage. Period.

Edit: And this is purely single target.

Again, I'm going to say that I don't care what BT/Zeal/cloak is because I'm not comparing Vayne's dps in a 2 minute window. I'd either have shiv there instead of cloak/zeal or I'd wait 20 creeps, finish PD, and have a comparison of BotRK + Hurricane + longsword vs BT/PD. Also, are you accounting for crits and the DECREASE in dps that BotRK takes as target HP goes lower? Because as far as i can tell a 30% ad ratio on BotRK is exactly the same as having 30% crit chance except, like you said, it's not distributed evenly. There's always going to be a random factor in there.

I'm pretty sure you have to take the tumble damage modifier based on AD as well. Two tumbles in a fight on a single target makes BT stronger.

In the shiv situation you'd have to add the shiv proc and I'm pretty damn sure shiv proc would out-dps the BotRK dps

Also you're not accounting for MS which is one of Vayne's biggest stats

I mean, in a vacuum and given very specific conditions (the point where you have enough for exactly BotRK/Hurricane/Zerks but not BT/fully upgraded PD/Zerks you might be right, but if you're getting hurricane over PD on vayne you're doing it wrong.


Why am I doing it wrong? You can't say something is bad without testing and calculating the actual math. Have you yourself tested this on PBE like I have? Runaan's and BotRK at that point of the game does very similar damage to traditional builds at that point of the game and BotRK + Runaan has far more utility. You can calculate it for yourself if you like. Late game, depending on the health of the target, it does from 100% to 70% damage of a regular build (4000 health to 300ish health) without counting that you have the BC to further shred armor. When I'm talking about 30%, I'm talking about the life on hit. If you have 300 AD, you will gain 90 health each basic attack no matter who you attack. With Runaan's, its 270 with 3 targets.

I think our levels of analysis are completely different. You never, ever want BC on Vayne. Like, I've been maining ADC for a while now and I play with a bunch of plats/diamonds so like (AND I CAN BE COMPLETELY WRONG ON THIS) I have a strong sense of what is important on certain ADCs. Vayne is one ADC I think I have a very strong handle on and even if the itemization provides stronger numbers on paper it's all still very arbitrary based on how you value things that you can't put a dps or gold value on like MS. Situationally, your build might be better, but I think the situations in which your build will do those things better are very rare and it decreases your overall input to the game compared to PD even if it lets you stand in place and dps in a short window better.

What it boils down to is that I think you're sacrificing Vayne's biggest strength for a marginal, debatable dps-on-paper possibility and I just think that's wrong.

Uhhhhh, Guys, I was just playtesting the the BoRK premitigated lifesteal changes and found out it doesnt interact with onhit ad modifiers (and maybe crit I havent got a chance to test it). Stuff like tumble/headshot/spinning axes.


@.@
Means it has no synergy with kits/(possibly crit) @ all. Shits rediculous.

If the skill doesn't add to your total AD of course it doesn't interact... none of those skills add to your AD. Unless you're saying you don't get *any* life at all if you use a spinning axe which would be a bug.

Dusty: It's not exactly clear because if you read Xyph's explanation it's supposed to be competing with PD and static shiv on ADCs.. Emphasis on supposed.

Except it provides no MS, AS, or crit. How in the world was it supposed to be competing with PD and Shiv? 2 completely different item goals. That doesn't make much sense.

But you're picking Vayne for late game and come late game a standard IE build is going to outdamage a BotRK build.

If we're gonna examine BotRK/Runaan's builds the best champions to do it with would be midgame ADCs like Graves or Corki not late game ADCs who are looking to get a full six items that synergizes well.

Doing a BotRK+Runaans build on Vayne would be like building Bruta+Hexdrinker+Phage on Nasus. Sure you might have a window during midgame where you do more dps but that doesn't mean the build is good because you're playing a late game champion and doing a midgame build.


I don't doubt that standard IE will damage BotRK build, but lets see how much.

Assuming 330 AD, 55% crit, 1.46 attack speed 385 AD with Ult. Standard Build
330*0.55*2.5 + 330*0.45 = 602.25 damage per hit. 879.285 DPS.
With ult, 385*0.55*2.5 + 385*0.45 = 702.625 damage per hit. 1025.8325 DPS

Assuming 300 AD, 1.86 attack speed. 355 AD with Ult. BotRK build

300 damage per hit without BotRK passive. Against 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 and 500 hp targets..
300 + 4000*0.05 = 930 DPS 4000 health
837 DPS 3000 health
744 DPS 2000 health
651 DPS 1000 health
604.5 DPS 500 health

With ult: 1032 DPS, 939.3 DPS, 846.3, 753.3, 706.8 DPS for 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 500 health targets respectively.

Silver bolts will add around 50 true damage DPS to the side of BotRK build due to increased attack speed for targets above 4000 health, 30 true damage DPS at 2000 health and 20 true damage DPS at 1000 health.

BotRK+ Runaan build goes from around the same DPS as IE build, at 4000 health targets to around 70ish% DPS when you're about to kill someone. Which is pretty good IMO just accounting for single target.


BotRK is still at 4% current health. That 5% has to be approved by PBE and still isn't.

Secondly you used max health calculations and I have no idea what your final builds are.

And you didn't show your work. How does Vayne have 330 AD? Did you assume Base + runes + IE + max stack BT + LW?
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.

PBE BotRK is an extremely strong single damage item for champions with some sort of built in AS scaling like Jax or Udyr (probably WW but didn't test on him).

Even with the AS on it it still feels awful on the ranged carries I've tried it on (Vayne, Graves, Quinn, Ezreal, MF)

The main thing that makes this build really strong IMO is Runaan's + BOTRK. Being able to life on hit no matter how tanky someone is, 100% consistency due to no crit, and much higher attack speed allows you to gain life really quickly. In a regular game, when someone has boots 2, BOTRK and Hurricane, they have 1.9 attack speed and 30-90 life on hit. With similar gold values, someone has boots, zeal, cloak of agility and BT with 1.3 attack speed. Vayne would simply demolish other people with the first build.

I also think people are overestimating the power of crits. Unless you are Tristana/Caitlyn, you're not getting enough critical multiplier/chance as the IE will be a 5th to 6th item.

BotRK is % hp damage, sure, which is 100% consistent downward scaling AD as you hit them. Wtf is hurricane in there? Hurricane is a trash item because it only gives you one stat that you already get free scaling on and the SUPER KEWL LAZARS part of it requires ezreal to constantly be in auto range of 3 people to even have an effect. You're experiencing cognitive dissonance and projecting your own overestimation of your build's damage onto us.

You're arguing that it does more damage than PD/IE/BT/LW and that's just straight up not true. We're not talking about exact cost effectiveness of a specific amount of gold--your example compares BT/Zeal/Cloak with Hurricane/BotRK which might outdamage BT/Zeal/Cloak for about 1000 gold if your opponent has 3.5k life when you have 2 items, but then you get PD and it's just clearly superior...


Err, you must be misunderstanding something but late game, I clearly said in a few points that this build does not do more single target damage late game. I said that it does around 65% damage of a usual ADC build at the lowest amounts (HP is around 200ish) in one of my previously posts. The post you are referencing is talking about the early game dueling capacity with that specific build WITH VAYNE whose W will be even more powerful due to the high attack speed and superior life gain.

Okay, if we're talking about Vayne, then why are you including "superior life gain" as a stat at all? Vayne's w proc doesn't trigger lifesteal. I'm pretty sure you've just completely lost your argument and unwilling to admit it. I'm also willing to bet that you'd kill someone faster with a BT/zeal/cloak than with BotRK/Hurricane, even if I would upgrade Zeal to Shiv instead of buying cloak.

Seriously your last sentence is just dumb, how does life gain affect w at all?


I mistyped, but what I wanted to say is that W will proc more often due to higher attack speed, and higher attack speed will in turn increase the life on hit that BOTRK gives. I'm not sure if you know this, but on the PBE, the life on hit from BOTRK is based off 30% of your total AD. Not only is it not affected by resists, but the effect procs off each Runaan bolt.

If you want to see what kills faster with BT/Zeal/cloak versus BOTRK/Hurricane, here's some math with Vayne.

With BT/Zeal/Cloak/greaves, you have about 205ish AD with a fully stacked BT, 25% chance to crit, 1.1 attack speed. DPS will be 281.875 without counting silver bolts.

With BOTRK/Runaan/Greaves, you have 135 AD and 1.7 attack speed. 230 DPS without counting silver bolt and the 5% hp passive. With a 1500 hp target, 357 DPS accounting for the passive.

Against a 1500 HP target, silver bolts does 180 true damage. Now, with 1.7 attack speed vs 1.1 attack speed, how much of a difference does that make? 1.7 attack speed gives 102 true damage while 1.1 gives 66.

It does do more damage. Period.

Edit: And this is purely single target.

Again, I'm going to say that I don't care what BT/Zeal/cloak is because I'm not comparing Vayne's dps in a 2 minute window. I'd either have shiv there instead of cloak/zeal or I'd wait 20 creeps, finish PD, and have a comparison of BotRK + Hurricane + longsword vs BT/PD. Also, are you accounting for crits and the DECREASE in dps that BotRK takes as target HP goes lower? Because as far as i can tell a 30% ad ratio on BotRK is exactly the same as having 30% crit chance except, like you said, it's not distributed evenly. There's always going to be a random factor in there.

I'm pretty sure you have to take the tumble damage modifier based on AD as well. Two tumbles in a fight on a single target makes BT stronger.

In the shiv situation you'd have to add the shiv proc and I'm pretty damn sure shiv proc would out-dps the BotRK dps

Also you're not accounting for MS which is one of Vayne's biggest stats

I mean, in a vacuum and given very specific conditions (the point where you have enough for exactly BotRK/Hurricane/Zerks but not BT/fully upgraded PD/Zerks you might be right, but if you're getting hurricane over PD on vayne you're doing it wrong.


Why am I doing it wrong? You can't say something is bad without testing and calculating the actual math. Have you yourself tested this on PBE like I have? Runaan's and BotRK at that point of the game does very similar damage to traditional builds at that point of the game and BotRK + Runaan has far more utility. You can calculate it for yourself if you like. Late game, depending on the health of the target, it does from 100% to 70% damage of a regular build (4000 health to 300ish health) without counting that you have the BC to further shred armor. When I'm talking about 30%, I'm talking about the life on hit. If you have 300 AD, you will gain 90 health each basic attack no matter who you attack. With Runaan's, its 270 with 3 targets.


Only having ~80% damage against most targets is a very significant DPS decrease. It's not one that you can just pass off as acceptable. I feel you're treating this as ok because you're overstating how often you get the secondary bolt procs which is actually not all that likely without egregious positioning errors made on one side or the other.

As Teut said, it should almost never be the case that you're within AA range of 3 separate champions at all unless you're being dived, let alone in such a way that they'd actually be close enough to one another that you can splash them all with Hurricane.

PBE BotRK is an extremely strong single damage item for champions with some sort of built in AS scaling like Jax or Udyr (probably WW but didn't test on him).

Even with the AS on it it still feels awful on the ranged carries I've tried it on (Vayne, Graves, Quinn, Ezreal, MF)


Ill try it tommorow on PBE with replaced BT midgame (IE/PD/BoRK). Should be interesting, but Im kinda sad because of that lack of interaction Q.Q

Except it provides no MS, AS, or crit. How in the world was it supposed to be competing with PD and Shiv? 2 completely different item goals. That doesn't make much sense.


It doesnt. In my opinion it competes with BT, by exchanging lifesteal and 55 ad for all the utility it gives.

With the BOTRK build, it has a total of 130% attack speed which gives an AD carry 1.9 attack speed. With the lowest possible health values, it will do 600 damage per second. With targets at 3500 health, it should do as much as a crit build. At worst, the single target DPS is around 65% and at best, it's as good.

That's 3500 CURRENT health.

Nobody is ever above 3500 current health in a real fight. The only champs that have 3500+ max health are tankier top laners, and burst damage at the start of the fight will generally bring them below that 3500 HP cutoff almost immediately.

So basically the BotRK build is less DPS 100% of the time.


I'm not arguing that BOTRK build is realistically more DPS than the typical ADC build, but that it's not too significant to say that the standard build will be superior especially in terms of survivability and utility.

ADC's main job is damage, and lots of it. Leave the tanky utility stuff to your other 4 teammates.


I don't really think that's true anymore. There are multiple damage sources now and there is a need for utility/survivablity on the ADC


If both teams can peel the team with the carry that does the most relative DPS wins the fight. The carries portion of that is to maximize their single target DPS.

Think of what builds would look like if peel did not exist, and teams met each other in a line and attacked one target until it was dead. If this were the case then the optimal order to target your opponents would be the one which minimized incoming damage over the fight duration. And this optimal target ordering would generate a response for each member of the enemy team to build in such a way as to maximize the product of the dps*EHP. This is because anyone who did not do this and had too much tank would be targeted last and while those with more dps would be targeted first.

But league does not work that way, rather league works where sometimes a team can dictate to the other team who they shoot first. In this case its makes sense for one person to have no tank and all DPS, since the rest of their team will ensure they're attacked last. The next person in the attack order will have less DPS but still mainly DPS and some tank. The first three people in the attack order will have mainly tank.

If you decide to not max DPS on your carry then it has to be the case that you're getting dived... But this comes with a caveat, because if you build tanky on your carry the enemy team no longer needs to dive you. This is because AD carries tend to have the lower base damages in the game which means they scale poorly with tank. I.E. if you build tank as a bruiser you have base ability damage to fall back on. If you build tank as an ADC you do not have base ability damage to fall back on. (in addition as fights increase in time the range advantage is reduced since melee enemies can close)

-----------

That being said, i do think there will be a place for 40% AS BotRK in the meta. The answer though is that it will be used on carries that don't tend to build crit, or only get a small amount.

E.G. lets look at a particular itemization path for Graves, the quintessential BT first ADC.

Graves can build BT,PD,LW and be effective. But he gets a lot more out of AD than crit since he has high ability scaling. If he builds BT,BotRK,LW instead he only loses 10% attack speed and 30% crit. 30% crit is about 72 AD equivalent on auto attacks(240 AD x .3) and in return he gets 30 AD and the active. If we ignore the extra 10% AS that PD has as inconsequential or offsetting with the 30 AD's ability damage then the passive damage needs to be worth the difference between the average crit damage and the extra AD that BotRK provides. It is worth this amount (42 AD) so long as the enemy has 840 HP or more.

Which is to say that BotRK doesn't have to replace BT, or have a build specifically tuned to it with hurricane. It can replace phantom dancer/shiv on builds that start with BT since the three item timing won't have an IE in it to magnify the value of the crit on PD/Shiv.

Fake Edit: If you were to 4th Item Hurricane you would have about 270 AD and gain 240 HP per attack(so long as there were three enemies there to hit) before BT regen. At 6 item timing BT/RotRK/LW/Hurricane/GA would make you a pretty tough nut to crack.

Fake Edit 2: BotRK with 30 AD/40 AS on a traditional IE,PD,LW build would need a target to have more than 2400 HP in order to do more damage per hit than a BT. Total auto attack DPS would likely be higher in all cases due to the additional attack speed.

Running the numbers with Ashe(post AS buff) we find:

BotRK:
Initial Crit: 624
DPS raw: 824.879328 not including passive

BT: Fully Stacked
Initial Crit: 798
DPS Raw: 907.3

BT: Zero stacks
Initial Crit: 722
DPS Raw: 821


In order to have more DPS the BotRK must make up about 80 DPS, since Ashe with BotRK would have 1.8 attacks/second this means she would need do to about 50 more damage per attack which means that the enemy would have to have about 900 HP.

If we don't ignore the active bonus damage on someone attacking ashe, then BotRK likely has strictly higher damage if we do then it will take a bit of attacking when enemies have higher HP than 900 in order to make up the difference.

On someone like Trist? BotRK should pretty handily dominate BT at any purchase point

Edit: Basically, doing some cursory calculations i feel like the new 30 AD, 40 AS BotRK competes favorably with PD when playing BT first itemization and favorably with BT on IE first itemization.

People need to stop arguing about BotRK at 6th item because that's simply not the niche its suited for.
