Runaan's Vs Shiv

Toastersaot··1 votes·289 views

Currently, I feel Runaan's kind of fills Shiv's niche and then more.

I originally remember that the purpose of Shiv was as a wave clear option, but with champions like Caitlyn ,Jinx, I don't see them building Shiv anymore. Runaan's multi-hit autos seem to be enough wave clear for the team.

In fact, the other options for Shiv seem much stronger then it.

Jhin andLucian seem to go item 3094 after their Armor Pen to make up for the lack of range on their autos.

Vayne and Yasuo almost always go item 3046 for the Damage Reduction.

The only champion who does a Shiv rush seems to be Tryndamere .

Thoughts?

shiv is for melees and has huge burst.

It's for champions who want the burst and waveclear. Tryndamere Yasuo Quinn Gangplank . Vayne also builds it on top of item 3046 fairly frequently as well. Like already stated, it's more commonly used on melees than ADCs.
