:/ are you serious. thats pretty dumb overall moonbear. Mpen component does nothing for his E, since that doesn't deal ANY damage at all, and instead his W does magic damage, the Hybrid Penetration is useful for mid game fights when you need to be dealing damage with your W as well as everything else as lucian is as much a caster as he is an auto attacker. the 6 less arpen for more Mpen is justified when you are dealing a good third of your damage as magic damage, as you do with a wits end timing.
Lucian isn't really an AD carry. Not in the sense of how his power curve works and his strengths and weaknesses. He's a ranged AD that hits mid game timings and pushes. He definitely doesn't feel meant to "carry" the way something like a vayne or tristana does. I never suggested you rush wits end. Its just an item in the trinity of items that i build that trinity being bruta wits and and last whisper. THinking i suggested a wits end rush is more of a comprehension or explanation error than fact. I never suggested that wits end applies on his ult, in fact i believe i've explained to questioners that it doesn't.
more important than responding to moonbear, Lucians should probably be building multiple dorans blades in situations where they aren't absolutely dominating their lane as he is unlikely to be filling up on slots early.

- Ok yeah W not E. But point still applies. Do you take Hybrid Pen on Corki or Ezreal? Both of them have more than one spell that does magic damage. (Corki Q + R and Ezreal W + E + R) They're also both casters as much as they are AD Carries. Yet no one takes Hybrid Pen on them. There's a good reason for that and it's because the MPen bonus you get is far less important than the raw AD for laning power and then getting big items to kill you opponents with.
- Then what is your Wits End timing? I can't figure out any time at which you would say to yourself "I'd really like to get a Wits End" rather than just getting almost any other item. If it's not the first item, then you've already committed to building something AD. And at this point you're committed into AD damage. Getting a Wits End dilutes that so now both your AD and Magic damage both don't hurt much against that tank charging against you because you're not stacking multipliers like Crit/AS/AD or MPen/CDR/AP to punch through cheap and effective defensive itemisation. Say you have a Bruta going into Wits End. Why did you get Bruta then? It doesn't synergise with the APen you spent money on. Even worse if you have a LW+Bruta. You want to keep stacking synergising stats and smash people's faces in, not dilute your damage output. And it's even worse if you only have Dorans because your autos will barely tickle the Udyr running at your face.
- If you're not meant to carry then what do you do? Take shots at towers? Wits End passive doesn't even apply extra damage to towers according to Wiki. Bonus AS? What does Wits End do that a Shiv or PD doesn't? Heck, why not just pick an actual AD Carry and still do exactly the same thing by building AD items and being useful? What exactly did you pick Lucian for and build him like this for? You're not carrying or taking towers in which case you're a dead-weight AD Carry.

Have fun with that buildup to Wits in a lane that isn't like... Corki/Leona. You're literally throwing away the advantage Lucian seems to have(laning) by building shit that will suck ass in lane, especially when you compound this fact with you having armor/lvl seals.

Brutalizer actually gives you more damage than other AD items. The buildup isn't that bad.
It's still the late game I'd be worried about. Brutalizer falls off fast and many people don't turn it into anything and just sell it :/

I'm sliver one and after reading wits ends on marksmen, it made me give a confused face and want to post something that disagreed with him only for it to lead into a grudge match. Hopefully resulting in me stomping him into the ground and TL LoL raising me up on their shoulders as the hero that came and silenced the evil.

If it gave 8% more AS, and 8 more damage on the passive for the same price, I could see it being an easy 3rd item on Kog vs double AP comps. It DOESN'T have those stats however, so I recommend it on NOBODY.

Armor/lvl runes have been discussed already and thoroughly disproved as being any good when in context to laning. It's annoying for lots of readers to have to re-read the same useless discussion that has been talked about to death already just like Elo hell came up every page or gold for 10 items etc... At some point the mods have to put their foot down, lucky enough the LoL mods are a lot kinder than the Starcraft counter parts when it comes to punishment and banning people for bad posts.

its to bring some freaking order into here, because recently this reads like release SC2 forum.
Its also the same reason why we dont argue wether 0.99... is equal to 1 or not. Because there is one wrong opinion and one that is right.

I'd rather have BOTRK over Wits on any AD that wants some kind of on-hit damage. 5% of health > MR Steal and Magic Damage. Hence, bork on lucian is pretty good.
Plus, BOTRK is the same atksp (IIRC) and lifesteal > MR as a defensive stat on anyone who builds AD.

Many of the mobafire guides list 21-2 games and show videos where they roflstomp nasus/ryze/vayne/amumu's while duoing with Hotshot. Even here, I seem to recall someone posting score screens that were like 15-2 that advocated pd Hecarim or Frozen mallet Sejuani.
Score screens are fairly easy to game. I agree it's best to try things out if you're going to defend them.
