black cleaver has the issue that the majority of your damage isnt affected by black cleaver stacks, and even the full black cleaver stacks only 2 ticks of E get the full damage,
your Q, R and ignite are all totally unaffected most of the time

you buyi tmostly to support your team

That's sort of the point of black cleaver in general. It augments your ADC's dmg by quite a bit if you can get a couple armor shred stacks.

Is black cleaver ever more effective than last whisper if it's just you doing damage though?

Depends on how well you can stack it and how much flat pen to armor they have, I think.

If your target has 60 armour, then once all 5 stacks are applied, black cleaver will take away around 1.5 more armour than LW. But since it'll only be slightly more effective once the stacks are applied, LW is going to be more effective overall. Once you have black cleaver, it's pretty unlikely you'll find a target with less armour than this.

BC is less effective than LW for gold, it's obviously less good on anyone with frontloaded burst and/or relying on few instances of high damage, even more so if you're single target (worse if you tend to switch and lack AoE), and it's most of the time less effective even once stacked.

You buy BC over LW (don't confuse with "on top of") only when you want to help your team, which is why AD casters won't rush it ever, AD carries won't build it, and it's usually a bruiser's one-off damage item when he's built tanky shit first.

On an unrelated topic, trying to cast Nautilus' ult versus Fizz+Zhonya's and Yi (GP and me were tanking Jinx enough, esp. after I got FH on top of Tabi and my shield) is... seg*slsùehksvjqs:;kùqssh* all the cancels.

Outshone by Turtle. Still, him 100-0 the Nasus with triforce and mercs who hoped to kill him was amusing.

I noticed the 235 damage per aa to the towers too, courtesy of his 700+ AP.

I take notice of the dring start Viktor shitting on Lee+Renekton trying to dive him and killing the jungler though. Fuck yeah! He's building Power Augment too, I'm curious now.
Welp Scarra gifted Renek double buff and double kill, nvm that lane.

Like, can Aatroc Q>Flash and get the knockup? For some reason I tried that a few times and it didn't seem to work. But, then again, unstable ping.


Aatrox probably doesn't work with it because he doesn't knockup along the dash, just at the end.

Augment power is like 100% useless. I can't imagine when you'd ever want to buy it.

The cc seems good, the passive seems like it would help with mana sustain a bit, but he's so slow and clunky. You could make him work as a very unorthodox AP jungler pick, but Gragas exists.

if you want to play a squishy ap jungler that's not accepted by the meta lulu is your best choice, having a jungler that brings a bunch of utility to their team is a strategy that i think has been proven to work.

Has anyone played top lane skarner? I find that early game is incredibly difficult but if you get out of laning phase with a decent cs and few items you can definitely make a positive impact with engages and good peel. And if by some miracle you win your lane you can rush TF for tons of damage.

playing a melee champ with no sustain and meaningful mana costs in top lane seems like torture.

"I find that early game is incredibly difficult" basically means it can't go top lane these days.
