Too OP. Everyone would rush it first because of the 20% life steal without sacrificing AD. Sanguine is much more balanced because you don't get near the amount of AD or sustain with it so it isn't worth rushing over an IE.

BT would be fine if you could recall and heal, but obviously you can't do that.

Why would you want BT?

:c because these skill shots are killing me and plus teammates kill all the minions before i can life steal

Practice dodging skillshots, it'll help - not to be rude, but this isn't URF we're talking about (though I do sincerely miss URF) so it's not totally unimaginable to dodge a mass majority of the skillshots, especially as an ADC or APC who should be in the back line anyways.

you cant dodge all of them especially when you playing against xerath nid and lux also if you playing aram you can get an all adc or apcs not much is going to happen if there is no front line

I don't believe I said "all of them" Nidalee and lux both have very dodgeable skillshots, Xerath's Q should be the only one you truly struggle with.

If there's no frontline, that means you have all ADCs or APCs - almost all of which have at least some form of utility or ability to kite. Chances of you having absolutely no frontline and being up against that many skillshots + a Kat (that would be problematic with her diving) are ridiculously slim.

lolno, ARAM is run by ARAM smurfs these days who only have Ziggs/Nid/Lux/Xerath/Sona/Janna/Corki/Ezreal in their account.

Not true at all. I see a very large variety of champs on ARAM all the time. Yes, I have an ARAM only account like most old-timers around here with a champ pool of exactly 16 champs. However, free champ rotation kinda screws me over on that and drops my chances of getting a champ I want to 2/3 provided I own 2 of them already - being the strong APCs they tend to put on rotation - making the odds favorable, but only slightly.

This week I own 4 of them - Nidalee, Janna, Jayce and Ryze. Still, my chances of getting Rengar, Kha'zix, Varus, Elise, Braum or Caitlyn (none of which am I that good with) are more than I'd really like. Though I'm always happy to get to play Kat on ARAM, kinda hard to lose.

yep so jg/top mains like me are fked in ARAM. nice to know.

MrPerson10Feb 26, 20151 votes

Pretty much, yeah.

Play strong engage champs or champs with a lot of poke/disengage

For example, Wu-Kong/Jarvan IV are decent picks (for lack of better terminology) on ARAM - they both have a gap close, J4 has innate tankiness while Wu-Kong has an easy escape.

Cho-Gath hurts quite a bit too.

and when i roll Udyr, WW or Pantheon? LOL.

MrPerson10Feb 26, 20151 votes

Pantheon and Warwick are great picks on ARAM, especially Pantheon given that you start out at 3 and Pantheon has an extremely strong early game. Both him and WW have great engage and CC to go along with it. Udyr, not so much. So reroll Udyr.

BluePolarizerFeb 26, 20151 votes

pantheon's not good on ARAM because all his damage has cast times and is low range meaning you still eat poke. WW gets kited 24/7.

FloweyTheFlowerFeb 26, 20151 votes

when you have an all ad team and you go against a team like this Sion Malphite Amumu Xerath Orianna please show me how you kite this out

Also another reason why i want the bt so i can hit stuff harder and have life steal. I build this thing item 3508 just so i can have the damage. ( i try to kill my enemies with the fewest hits possible)
