Can we add some AD to Blade of the Ruined King?

Currently it offers 25 AD. I play a lot of on-hit autoattack junglers like WW, Shyvana, and Master Yi and am constantly trying to find other offensive items to replace it with because it just feels weak compared to how it was in seasons past. I don't feel like it needs any more lifesteal or attack speed (especially with bloodrazor existing now) but it just seems like it hits so soft that adding 10 AD to it might make it popular again for this niche of champions. It's not like any of the junglers that used it are doing particularly well right now or are very popular since Devourer was removed.

It's less of an AD-stat item and more of a tank shredder with its % health. If anything, the % health damage numbers could be increased slightly (I think current is 8%, maybe to 10% or so).

Its 6% of current health on hit which is alot.

It used to be 8% of current health, but that level of damage on-hit made it almost indisputably a better option than Bloodthirster. A few champions had the AD ratios to justify BT over Bork, and BT was more of a defensive Lifesteal option.

Now that it's 6% of current health, considering the average 500-2000 HP on champions from levels 1-18, it provides up to 40-160 damage on-hit (and because it's physical, lifesteal applies). On top of the base 40, it's providing better overall DPS than BT in most cases thanks to the bonus AS, before even accounting for champs building even more HP.

But it's no longer objectively more powerful than BT, which means it falls to obscurity.

You can get Wits End on WW instead of Bork...though Bloodrazor and Bork together is a very good combo.

Warwick will just get kited to death without the active of BOTRK. If the enemy is dumb enough to stand there and just trade blows with you, I agree that wit's would be better.

Thats the elo to pick WW though...where people are dumb enough to stand there and try to fight you. He gets kited with or without the BorK active. Thats why I stopped playing WW once I got past Gold in Season 4.

its not weak ..... that plus blood razor and rageblade is gg for anyone

PapaGreg21Sep 17, 20161 votes

That's not true. Look at champion.gg and you can find most people don't even build blood razor and rageblade on the champions I listed in my post. For somebody like kog, jax or kayle I would agree with you.

Active, passive and gives 3 different stats - AD, lifesteal and AS. This item is overloaded. It's not item for rushing, but there is nothing that gives the same damage vs tanks with so many stats.
