The Black Cleaver build path change
is in another weird spot in the meta. Top-lane fighters like 
and 
are starting to opt for the 
pick rather than sticking to home base . Interestingly, ad assassins like
and 
and adcs like 
and 
have as a core item, building it 2nd or 3rd item. Buffing is out of the question, the item isn't under-powered, it just feels awkward to build for fighting other top-laners these days. There was an earlier post suggesting that instead of having build out of 
+ 
, It would be built out of + 
+ 
. With this build path completing with all parts would cost 300g, grant the passive and give the bonus stats +50 hp, and +10% cdr. This suggested build path would give fighters who decide to have first item to have the early stats for trading and farming, instead of being bogged down by a random utility item like .
What do you guys think? I think this different build path would help black cleaver immensely as a first item for top-laners. You guys got any other ideas?
p.s. This is my first board post. Its a lot of fun using all the icons instead of the actual names. these emotes are cool too [slayer-jinx-catface]
