I have never seen someone buy Giant killer before last whisper

Seriously, its AD and 10% dmg increase is so useless for so many reasons :

  • Buying it early would barely make you benefit from the passive because most of the ennemies don't have enough HP
  • Even if you would benefit from the 10% dmg increase, your dmg is way too low during early phase to actually enjoy this item
  • 10 dmg is way too low considering the price
  • Or, on the opposite, it's 1000 is too expansive in early game considering it's effect. (executionner is 200 gold cheaper AND provides 5 more dmg with GW)
  • People prefer to buy Last whisper during mid phase considering that both items give 10 dmg and an additionnal effect, which, last whisper's effect is way more superior for an extra 300 gold

Can we add more power to the item OR lower it's cost...?

  • Lower the cost to 800 or 900 gold. Increase dominik's recipe cost by 100 or 200 to even it out.
  • Make it build from 2 long swords and have the dmg increase to 20. Total cost is 1100.

I have. Depends on what the opponent is building. If they have lots of HP and not much armor I get it first such as tanks stacking MR. Otherwise if they're getting armor then LW first. By the time they get some armor I'd have LW on the next back

No one buys Lord Doms early. Its a 3rd or later item when people have built armor and HP

That's the point. 10 dmg for a 3rd item is pretty dull.

Look at lord dominik. from its 2600 gold cost here's how it is decomposed

Without the upgrade, 2300 gold for 20 dmg, 35% BONUS armor penetration, 10% extra physical dmg based on extra health.

for ONLY 300 extra gold, you get 30 dmg and 10% extra physical dmg based on extra health.

How much power spike do you want?

People still buy last whisper?

If your behind it doesn't help you at all. If your ahead, you don't need it.

Since it changed to bonus armor it is a luxury item that is hard to fit into builds.
