PTA sucks right now

Conq true damage > PTA Lethal tempo attack speed > pta

More attack speed -> the faster you move and can't be kited (Lethal tempo > PTA argument)

The only champ PTA works on right now is Lucian, but we all know he's overbuffed, and it's mainly because of how he synergizes with on-hit (botrk) than it is PTA.

Kayle and Shyvana are both excellent with PTA. Doesn't make that much sense running Conquer or LT on either of them.

What are you talking about?

Every Shyvanna goes AP, and PTA isn't included. Every Kayle runs Lethal Tempo, because it's better to stack rageblade with.

Kayle is my most played champion over all. Shyvana was my most played champion last season. I've tried every combination of runes and items imaginable on those champions, including the LT rune. PTA is just way superior to LT on both of them.

LT has the potential to be great on Kayle but it's wind up time makes its a huge pain in the ass to use effectively in the early game. PTA makes her early lane phase so much more threatening.

As for Shyvana, she has an auto attack reset and her Q counts as two autos. PTA gives her an almost unfair amount of burst damage, especially after she finishes BloodRazor. It's so good on her that it's straight up stupid not to take PTA on her. PTA feels like it was made for Shyvana. Her entire kit synergies perfectly with it. Also, I would never build AP on Shyvana. I'd simply learn an AP champion instead. I've never been a fan of those kinds of off meta builds that try to fit a square peg in a round hole. If you like it, great. Do what works for you but if you play Shyvana in the traditional way, always go PTA.

PTA is good on lucian. And then good situationally. I like it on renekton procs on w really ez.

My on hit Shyvana top begs to differ. During early trades I can easily win when I max E and I proc PTA by landing E, using W to run up to the enemy champ, landing 1 auto attack then immediately using q to get an easy easy PTA proc. And if they try to fight more after I got PTA off, my E mark + W will deal a lot of damage with my auto attacks.

PTA is strong for short trades and aiding mages/assassins. Three autos for a small burst of damage, which then increases the damage the target takes from everything.

I find Lethal Tempo to be kinda weak, simply because of how long it takes for the benefits to actually kick in. Usually by that time, someone is already dead.
