Damage is useless when you are chunked to 10% and unable to recover at all.

being alive is useless when you dont do any damage

Yea but he is completely ignoring the fact that you can get ie/pd/lw+pot which is A LOT stronger than bt/pd/lw+pot.

It isn't a random fact that unless you are playing champs like draven or kalista nobody rushes bt.

Yeah. Double crit makes no sense. Plz. Lucian essentially has freee pseudo AS, making crit scale harder on him than most adc.

No, I agree. I was just suggesting how far the IE nerf hit when its nearly worse than component items

Lucians passive is just an auto attack multiplier. His free psuedo AS makes crit and AD and lifesteal and penetration scale harder on him than AS but does not alter the ideal ratio of AD/Lifesteal/penetration/crit. His abilities all have AD/AS scaling not crit scaling and that scaling is fairly high compared to other AD's


That isn't to say that crit isn't good, but it is to say that crit isn't so much better than other attributes that you should buy it if you wouldn't otherwise.

Pls stop with this bs.If it wasn't included in patch notes that ie lost 5% crit nobody would've noticed.The dps with zeal instead of finishing ie on average might be better but it doesn't give you as good of a chance to just randomly destroy someone.

IE is definitely stronger vs a dummy target that does not fight back.

When you are vs a Nunu with Snowball slowly wearing you down, you will appreciate life steal more.

Which is a completely irrelevant scenario. As an ADC you'll never get chased down 1v1 vs a Nunu at that time.

Quick do the stats - does the lifesteal from BT allow you to survive that much longer to compensate for the fact you don't have 250% crit every 5 shots?
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

You will totally appreciate life steal when you have no damage, because you went BT and no AS because Nunu slows you.

Are we really arguing IE vs BT? Both serve completely different functions. One makes you not die, and do some damage, the other makes you do tons of damage (ty Phreak) and if you kill them fast enough you also don't die.
Hey! How you doin'?

So? Which one would you buy first, on Lucian in particular? Do you think it depends on situation whatsoever?

generally IE but I think you can go BT if your comp revolves around snowballing the early to mid game like in SKT vs CJ game 4. bang went BT first there on lucian and I really liked how he just went ham on the sivir and then lifestealed back up to force 5v4's elsewhere on the map.

granted its a pretty niche situation though so I would just advocate IE first on lucian


Yup.

Also with IE you have flexibility between Ghostblade and Shiv/PD 2nd item.

Recognising some players as more skilled than others is toxic.

It was changed for both of those reasons. Knowing someone is "better" than you caused people to be toxic and there was basically no advantage to it because for the vast vast majority of players the MMR difference was negligible.
