Why does sterak’s give so much?

This item, by itself supplies on average at level 6, 46 ad. Which admittedly isn’t that excessive except it keeps scaling up And 450 health + 75% more of that health when it gets popped. That’s an average of almost 800 health by itself. Which again, scales up with more items.

So 46 ad. Ad valued at 35 gold each point. 46 * 35 = 1610 Health is valued at roughly 2.5 gold for each point. 787 * 2.5 = 1967

3577 gold worth of stats on this thing, which admittedly is conditional, but not so much that it can’t be accounted for. Now this would be fine. This I could see being a perfectly serviceable item by itself. My issue arises when we push past it being by itself. Let’s take a look at it once we hit 4 items (not including boots) and we’ll use a standard bruiser build being Steriks Triforce Titanic hydra Spirit visage. Pretty average build for a bruiser. I think, and we’ll assume perfect farm so you are level 12 just to lower the efficiency as much as possible, and we’ll use relevant stats to steraks only (being the hp and ad gained)

So. This build provides from steraks 61 ad Including shield 1250 hp. 61 * 35 = 2135 1250 * 2.5=3135

That’s 5260 gold worth of stats. Coming from one item, that already efficient by itself.

And yes, I’m aware that “you won’t always have the shield” but it’s on a low enough cooldown that you can and will likely have it for any and every fight that matters.

If any other role was handed an item like this, people would lose their minds about how hyper efficient it is. The only item that gets even close is full build infinty edge, and Mejiai’s While stacked (which has a risk)

Edit was forums not liking the *
