You are right, since there are no bruisers or assassins nobody will ever get that close to an ad carry.
Well, except for very few very specific situations it is not very polite to jump onto a lady. So if your opponents are gentlemen, they won't jump onto Ashe.

The proposed changes don't change anything about that fact that it doesn't scale with crit. The percentage based ad lifesteal makes arm pen less attractive. So while BT scales with both crit and arm pen, BotRK will not, which means a poor synergy with all the standard adc items (IE, PD, Shiv, LW).
Basically it will be good on people that need to stick to a target for continuous damage, but otherwise do not build a large number of additional damage items. Since it provides overall less damage than BT, you preferably can use it to kill low health targets and it provides good sustain in prolonged duels with high armor targets if you can't afford to build armor pen. Sounds like a bruiser item to me...

Here's a thought... Since BotRK doesn't scale with crit, and MF likes building BC because of her ult... I'm thinking BC + BotRK MF adc,
Thoughts?
I don't play ADC so I really have no clue what I'm talking about btw xD

After I get my sighstone, I buy a pink every time I back. I kind of expect jungler to ask about warding or that he plans to gank bot, and then I'll drop my pink and clear so we can make da playz. Is that little bit of coordination too hard? T_T Speaking of Thresh, are there any, uh, equivalents of Shake's Lee videos for him? I guess people who main support aren't as likely to showboat make compilations of big plays, but it seems like he has a fairly high skill ceiling, albeit one that requires similar levels of play/decision-making for teammates. Alternatively, are there any streamers who, uh, main support Thresh?
No compilation that I know of (he´s a bit of a new champ too) but Krepo plays a lot of Thresh on his stream.

heya, does anyone know if it's possible to save seperate settings for spectator mode and playing games? I like to use my right mouse to pan around in spectator, but I have to switch the keybinds every time I go into a game, which is getting annoying. Can you fiddle it in the .Ini files somehow?

MF's ult only scales from ad and arpen, so BT is stronger than botrk if you want to relie on your ult to do a lot of damage. At this point it's overkill in my opinion to get botrk on top of BT since they both fill the spot for ad/lifesteal.

Does anyone play dominion here?
I know it means nothing but we won in 6:29 and was wondering if anyone has seen a quicker game. There were no AFKs.

PBE change:
* Passive now heals you for 30% of your total attack damage, rather than 50% of the damage dealt. This is essentially premitigation lifesteal.
So basically the armor of the target is meaningless which should also mean that the amount of armor pen is meaningless. It just depends on your total attack damage.

But the DAMAGE it does is still based heavily on ArPen.
Also holy shit 30% of total AD is a lot of healing.

My quickest game was 8:40. I was Diana and had a Kata who'd follow all my ult + E with her Shunpo and ult.

The PBE version is very different that because the primary item stat is now AS and the passive has completely changed. I'll just requote the changes:
Recipe: Cutlass + Dagger + Dagger + 500 Gold = 2700 Gold total from 2850 Gold on live.
* 45 AD --> 30 AD * 0% AS --> 40% AS * 10% LS --> 0% LS * Passive now heals you for 30% of your total attack damage, rather than 50% of the damage dealt. This is essentially premitigation lifesteal. * Active slow/speed duration is now 4 seconds from 2 seconds. * Active now deals 100 + 10% of the targets maximum life - serving as an execute or a wind-up peel * Range increased to 550 from 400.
The numbers are subject to change. This is the bastard child of a PD and a BT. My comments where more general based on the scaling of the passive. Although maybe the AS will make up for it, one has to see.

I'm still baffled at the "30% of total AD healing" - that's a CRAZY HUGE amount of healing. 100 health per hit at 330 AD. No matter what you're hitting. 60 health per hit with only 200 AD? 60 health per hit is already getting into the realm of "i went and killed 1 camp in the jungle and went from 10% to 100% life"
I don't understand why they're doing all this stuff with BOTRK, to be honest.

Hey, if you hit a target with about 8000 hp, nothing has changed.
And why they are changing it is quite obvious. Nearly noone built it.

Oh well. Irelia buff.
I don't see why they want ADC's to build it so badly, though. It always seemed to me like a bruiser item anyway?

My impression is that they are not satisfied with the late-game damage potential of the adc's. So basically they want to allow fed ad carries to chew through tanks in the late game without directly nerfing the league of giant belt collectors. Ask Yango... he will know ^^

Guess for whatever reason they though BotRK was more of a pressing issues (maybe since stacking health is still so popular).

*Edit* Removed old discussion.
So it looks like the new BotRK will be awesome on AD casters? I play Kha'Zix a lot, and this seems incredible on him after BT/(youmuu/black cleaver). Seems like the already hard-hitting combos from Talon, Panth, Khaz will be even stronger when you're back up to full health after blowing up the enemy ADC.
Really neat-looking new item.
