This is my first post, I don't know if this is the correct section but PRETTY SURE it is. Hello, uh, so, I wanted to ask something. I'm a main Sion , but recently I wanted to try.. Something new. Something DIFFERENT! Something badass. So, I once saw an Olaf building full lifesteal. item 3074 , item 3153 , item 3812 , item 3065 , etc.. So, my question is. What are some good champs, that can afford to build full lifesteal without completely falling (and can't get up) into the trash can that is 0/15/4?

XinZhao with item 3124 proccing item 3153 item 1419 will be hitting for hiroshima %HP levels of damage on top of guaranteed crits and lifesteal with his W passive

Amumu item 3075 item 3047 item 3001 item 3110 item 3146 item 3065 has reverse life steal. Hitting him causes him to gain life.

Warwick XinZhao Aatrox Olaf Udyr Tryndamere MasterYi I mean, usually people with the highest attack speed benefit from lifesteal greatly, so you can add in most marksman champs as well.

Usually focusing on one stat won't work. Depends on a lot of stuff but mainly team comps so i'm gonna focus on that.

No matter how much lifesteal you have, if the enemy team has a lot of hard CC you won't be able to use it to it's potential. Let's not forget grievous wounds.

In other situations it could work but it's up to you if you think it's a smart move.

But if you just wanna know which champ? Any bruiser will work more or less. I've seen some crazy lifesteal builds with Fiora and XinZhao

Most ADC's technically can, but you never go full lifesteal. It just is not worth it. Usually item 1055 item 3153 and item 3072 are the only life-steal items which are commonly built by ADCs. item 3156 and item 3139 are very situational also but usually can be swapped out for another item if they are not needed. but for non ADC champions, I would say MasterYi Nocturne Renekton Tryndamere Aatrox Warwick XinZhao Udyr Riven Kled Fiora are pretty good with lifesteal focused builds. They might not be their ideal build, but they can usually make it work. Basically any AA based melee champ (preferably AD focused too) can work a full life steal build to some extent.

Let's not necro old threads as that violates the rules. I'm gonna lock this thread up now. If we want to discuss lifesteal on champions, let's do so in a new thread.

If anyone has questions about this lock, don't hesitate to reach out to the Boards Moderation Team via:

Lifesteal is bad, because it doesn't help you kill tanks at all and you will die while being kited from the ranged champions when you arent attacking.

There are some champs that don't really build lifesteal, but but have it in their kit. I'm thinking Vladimir and Illaoi can be particularly strong. Illaoi in particular can build almost full tank, get maybe one offensive item to supplement her sustain and just wreck shop. And the more people all-in her, the stronger she is. You might like her.

@thread Any attack speed marksman makes the best use of lifesteal. Theres a reason marksmen are the only supported drain tanks.
