Avarice blade is pretty good. Lets say the crit part is worth 500 gold. Since the item costs 800 gold, that means you need a total of 300 gold from its two passives to make it worth it.

Now you're getting an addition 3gp10, which works out to an extra 18 gold per minute. Let's say you're the AD and you're a competent last hitter and average around 10 CS a minute-- so that's 20 gold a minute. Therefore, it gives an effective 38 gold per minute. The item therefore pays off in about 8 minutes.

+10% crit is also an effective 20% increase in DPS I think-- since a crit does 200% damage,100% crit would be an effective 200% increase, so 10% is 20%.

I can actually see Avarice being good if you can find a good time to back early enough for it in a 2v1 lane. Similar to Midas in DotA, uneven lanes allow you to more or less free-farm irrelevant of your item selection, meaning the item can make up its value well before it actually matters if you buy it early enough. The problem is finding a good time to back in a 2v1 lane to get it without missing more creeps than it's worth. If you back with like 1650 after getting a dive kill + tower, there's no reason to get the Avarice over a BF Sword.

The Bestfriend Sword is probably going to be a larger increase in DPS-- probably something like 50%+. However, it's also much more expensive. I recommend building an Avarice blade and stacking crit items then praying to the RNG gods.

For example, let's say you have 90 atk. The BF sword is going to be a 50% increase in DPS for 1550 gold.

Or you can buy an Avarice Blade for 800 and a cloak of agility for 730. That works out to be an effective 50% increase in DPS for TWENTY GOLD LESS. YOU SIR HAVE BEEN OUTMATHED.

Plus you get the entire WTF HAXX thing from your opponent when you start hitting crits on him. He just won't see it coming.

Well once you build Avarice, Philo, and Kage, you can build a BF Sword really quick, just run Utility and GP5 quints. Don't worry, it won't affect your dueling capability.

I just do it on Ashe and max E. No loss because she had no dueling capability!

Guys I've decided that LoL is a terrible spectator sport and too annoying to cast since you can always predict the outcome of every game based on the blue/purple side imbalanced so Soniv and I have decided to migrate to DotA 2.

We are now the TeamLiquid Casting Centaur Khans.
