Can Trinity Force actually be a DPS item and not basically just Spellblade burst?

Trinity Force

Recurve Bow (1000) + Sheen (1050) + Phage (1250) + 333 = 3633

+25 Attack Damage +40% Attack Speed +10% Cooldown Reduction +250 Health +250 Mana +8% Movement Speed

Unique: Your basic attacks deal 10 (+10% Base AD) bonus Physical Damage on-hit.

Unique - Spellblade: After using an ability, your next basic attack within 10 seconds deals (140% Base AD) bonus Physical Damage on-hit (2 second cooldown).

Unique - Rage: Basic attacks (on-hit) grant +20 Movement Speed for 2 seconds. Killing a unit grants +60 Movement Speed instead. These bonuses are halved for ranged champions.

Tune the numbers to whatever is best.

Like, I'm pretty sure this item is supposed to be for dueling considering most of its buyers (duelists, a poke ADC, and one really angry horse), so spreading the damage out from the proc onto autos and trimming off half the CDR seems right on paper. In exchange, it gets back some of its old movement speed for sticking to the enemy when dueling and a slight cost reduction (that's actually just for the sake of making the combine cost 333).

It's supposed to be good on champions with low CD abilities. That's why the spellblade is strong. If the burst has to be reduced then it should be done by reducing the CD of the spellblade and reducing the damage. So like 150% on a 1s cooldown. That would be a theoretical DPS increase but it depends on actual ability CDs and best rotations of the champions that use it.

Duelists is plural. Which means that not just 3 champs play it. Like other items in game.

The item is built for spellblade. Thats why 90% of people who build it build it.

Gp doesnt really give a flying fuck about the stats, but Spellblade is nice.

Hecarim doesnt really give a flying fuck about the stats, but the Spellblade is what his entire identity is built around,

Trundle................... you've got the idea.
