I just wanted people to know that the only fight clg won in the last game he actually didn't have rageblade, and before that it didn't matter because he was so far ahead by being spoonfed(having same items as doublelift + a rageblade)

Use that information however you want, but let it be known.

Anyone else think rageblade on Tris is a terrible idea?

Or maybe that the Lulu and the early kills and the other items in the build are why Tris did well?

And to go on-hit with rageblade into a third item IE... I just don't see the logic there.

But...then what about the incoming "nerf rageblade" threads?? (btw, imo I think rageblade is a stupid fuck item for melee jgs, but know that Trist building it doesn't mean it's OP in any way, shape, or form)

Rageblade Trist is a better early game tbh though then going with a traditional build on her. It gives her a much earlier power spike and some significant damage increase on her abilities. I feel like you would honestly be better if people started doing this then traditional trist because they will get destroyed early game instead of playing safe until she has a few items.

I didn't notice - what did he sell it for?

Anyways, rageblade is twice as effective on melee as on range - it's no wonder that it's not OP on tristana. It's only still effective on Kog because he can double the AS cap (making it equally effective on him).

The item is still semi-broken. Not to the extent that it can't exist as is... Make it a 3300g item and it's no where near OP. At 2800 it's too much of a bargain, and it's power comes from being insanely cost effective. Regardless, it's not nearly as slot efficient as other items (at least on Tristana, there are champions who abuse it better and it IS effective on them) and it makes sense to sell it for something else. It's power comes from being an easy item to complete quickly and letting you hit power spikes earlier, therefore allowing you to gain further advantages, and using those gold gains to get further ahead.

The only nerf rageblade needs is to increase the cost to 3100-3400g. Add a dagger to the recipe if necessary.

rageblade is good for early and mid game he sold it for a better item.
