Tri-force Sona is better than AP Sona, that's how terrible it is.

This encourages individual playstyles and decision making. Do you go for the immidiate benefits of shiv? or do you aim to be a better late game precense with PD? There is no right answer to that question on quite a few champions, although some still have a clear preference (I can't imagine a good Trist player would sacrifice a needed buffer to her bad midgame for a bit better late game) | ||

Is that solution really to make 2v1 not viable? or is the solution to just run with it and create top laners that can fend for themselves mid? Or hell, why not send a Caitlyn top to 1v2? No one has tried. I think she'd do well, no one can really push with her, and she could certainly get farm safely. If you gave a Sivir a blue buff I'm sure she'd do damn well too. Then you could have a roamer like Alistar as well as a jungler. Cait 1v2? Kidding? Easy to dive, easy to zone (duo stands in your minion line), little gank assist, putting her 2v1 means she is significantly behind for early tower pushes (Cait's main strength). The problem with the solution of new laners who can live 2v1 is #1. Need to remake like half the cast, and #2. That strength doesn't translate to soloqueue so it splits the meta even more than it already is.

Isn't jax one of the worst 1v2 laners yet has seen a lot more play recently? Jax is pretty hard to dive 2v1 or 3v2, so you need to do a 3v1 dive, but everyone dies to that. He also is decent at farming under tower, and is able to catch up better than most other toplanes. Okay, but how are you going to push a tower against a caitlyn? Sure you be wicked behind in farm, but who they will never get your tower. You'll grab theirs npnp, and then suddenly their 2v1 failed epically. Sure you can zone caitlyn, stop her from getting gold, but get her tower? Never. Add flash, barrier, and a bunch of traps at Caits tower, I dont think she that easy to dive either. Are you seriously suggesting to play a 2v2 lane without a support? It's pretty easy to see why that is a horrible idea. The idea against this strategy would not be to push towers down but to freefarm and deny Caitlyn levels until the 2v1's adc could 1v1 Cait and then suddenly you have a roaming support + freefarm for your adc + a completely useless enemy champ. Never said that. Just wopuld have like Bruiser/Support lane instead. Maybe mage/support You're suggesting to put Caitlyn in a 1v2 top lane and you fail to see how this is exactly the same thing as playing a 2v2 without a support. Sure, you still have a duo lane somewhere else but you're putting an ADC in a 1v2 vs a support/ADC and that's what I'm talking about. If it's too hard for you to understand perhaps I can explain it with pictures, let me know if it's hard to grasp. Im just saying it has never been tried... I think it could be a good counter to like fast push comps, split push comps you know. Thats all I am saying. you ever have those games where youre adc and u go bot lane and then suddenly your supp disconnects then the enemy duo lane goes ham on you and you die a lot now picture that in top lane instead Everytime I see a Cait with no support they manage to farm just fine unless they're getting dove by their jungler because you cannot zone Cait from farm. Caitlyn is NOT good at trading and in a 1v2 situation any support with a heal can make it so that your adc can get up in Cait's face and force a trade with no consequences. Caitlyn with no sustain vs any adc with sustain is a loss for Cait. Alternatively you can have any ranged support buy 5 pots in the beginning and harass her off of last hits with auto attacks. The third horrendous scenario is that if your support is melee that means it's either Thresh, Blitz, Taric, or Leona and it means that you have CC + any adc vs Cait by herself. I really think you guys overestimate how strong Caitlyn is at early levels. If she were this good she would just win every lane always in a 2v2. Think about it.

It diversifies your damage against tanks and a shiv proc that hits multiple people is pretty valuable. The movespeed is higher as well, and I value movespeed very highly on all ADCs that I play. I think PD is good on Tristana and Caitlyn because they both build IE as core but the Shiv proc is better in the types of games I like to play because I generally prefer precise objective-based play to straight fights unless we're so far ahead that it doesn't matter anyway. What I'm looking for in an item isn't always strictly gold efficiency for damage--which honestly I don't know the exact numbers on--but I like Shiv's timing and effect in poke wars/sieges a lot more than I like PD's increase in damage to a single champion (I assume it does more from what people say). | ||

And then other players have playstyles that lean more to building PD. Its a style thing more than having one be always superior. The only reason some champions really prefers one over the other is due to the style these champions fit into the best. Shiv is better poke, movespeed and burst. PD is better scaling and single target damage. | ||

Just something to think about ;] (Been going early shiv on one of my ad's lately and has not disappointed) A BFS gives 45 AD all game long, and it will fuck shit up when gotten early too. Why is Shiv special? because Shiv doesn't scale with pen, and it scales poorly with auto attack speed (since running stacks it up faster) do you mean because it doesn't stack quickly while attacking? how fast it stacks while running isn't really relevant to how well it scales with autos, it could just not have the movement thing at all and it would scale about as well with right clicks Spin movement charges it faster than any other source he has. | ||

You can disengage as vayne any time you wish she can't so not really. Lane can be hard if she has a stronger support and they just keep you under tower entire game.You can still go even easily though. | ||
