for when you can use some damage on tanks but don't wanna spend too much gold, stacks especially well if you already have some kind of boost. For example you're a 5-0 xin jungle and you wanna snowball yourself even further, get a ghostblade and build full tank.

But wouldn't the HP and team utility from the armor reduction on BC be more worthwhile for only 300 more?

i think ghostblade does more damage for fights and speed boost is helpful

Depends on how the game is going and on which champ. I often grab a Brutalizer then don't complete it until later, and if I get it as my first big buy, then I've got the option depending on game flow to build Ghostblade if I've got an early lead over building a Cleaver later on.

Note: I'm a Nocturne Main, Vi/Jarvan minor when it comes to Brutalizer. I haven't tried Ghostblade on Jarvan yet.

Ghostblade feels so much better than BC on xin. The crit and extra flat armour pen and the active all seem way better than the extra ad and the armour reduction.

neither are good just leave brutalizer and get LW the only reason for BC is to help out your team later on which isn't always a bad idea so dont dismiss when your AD gets 2-3 items for damage

I think it's an alright pick-up, but only as an early buy on junglers if you get a quick advantage. It definitely needs changes IMO.

Oh I agree, I would never rush either. We had this discussion before where Bruta -> LW is best for Garens damage and just get BC late game to help shred tanks.

I haven't played much Garen since the big nerfs but I used to go Bruta into full tank with LW and BC last

Eh, there are so many characters I'd rather take Black Cleaver on and a slew of other items that are great to get early. I guess for champs that really benefit from cooldown, but I don't run it hardcore on Noct myself. How is it on Jarvan? Seems like it'd be good, but I'm so used to beefy utility Jarvan that I don't think I'd want to commit to it. He's good enough as is with even just a Brutalizer. Vi I've built it twice, but those were walk-over games anyway.

Cleaver is trash on most champions early.

Only champions its good on early is Riven, and she prefers BT and MF for her ult shred.

I don't get Cleaver early. Sometimes I get Bruta early, but wait for Cleaver, or I just don't build Bruta/Cleaver 'til later.

J4 cant run brutalizer unless ridiculously fed. He isnt very tanky naturally, has only a small shield though it did get buffed. Locket is just so good on him.

And even when fed on J4 I prefer mobos to any AD item

What? Brut is only 1300 gold. I run one almost every J4 game I play and have like a 60% winrate with him. It helps add some damage if you don't trust your team to have a brain. Also the CDR is nice.

Isn't BotRK better as a single damage item for Nocturne? He doesn't particularly like the CDR (like Xin/Jarvan would, Vi likes it too but her W just makes BotRK far better) and the active gives him even more sticking power, while he gets a perma AS bonus for his passive and Q steroid.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

CDR on his ult is HUGE imo. Also seems you he gets enough AS from his W passive. I always like BC on him personally, the armor shred is very nice when you dive an ADC, within a couple attacks you are doing damn near true damage.

Edit: Basically how I see 10+% CDR on Noc is mainly for his ult. 10% for example brings it to 162/126/90 which brings back basically his pre nerf c/d's of 160/130/100. I always feel like the more you can have a Noc ult up, the more plays you can make.
