Is lethality even viable anymore on the caster adc?

So these items became popular builds for some adcs like draven miss fortune jhin and lucian . Is this still smart??? I figured the lethality changes were partially aimed to discourage this, but still see some people doing it.

Nope. Only BC is good but its still situational now

I wasn't a fan, other than BC on miss fortune for her ult I went crit.

I still build dic.... duskblade on Jhin. I see many players building Youmuu's on him as well. I think it works just fine, since lethality is here to help you with squishy targets which have low armor or no armor at all. Also, passives are really good on those items. And no, this change was not to discourage them to build these items, it was meant for assassins, so they still can do more damage to squishies early, but won't help them that much with tanks and in late game.

Not really. Was kinda the point.

For Miss Fortune I tend to always lead in this order:

item 1055 item 2003 item 1038 item 3117 item 3031 If I am surrounded by 1000hp-1300hp players item 3046 then if it still is the same amounts of hp enemies item 3094 If the enemies are already tanky and have 1600hp+ I go: item 3071 item 3035 (then if they have any type of thing that helps gain hp over time or in bursts via a healer or summoner 7 I get item 3033 but if they are just run of the mill tanks I do item 3036 ) As a finisher set of items: item 3085 item 3508

I may also go item 3009 as a replacement to the item 3117 encase they are ontop of me to often and not letting me get out of combat.

So in short YES legality items are in-creditably viable, and you can check my replays via replay.gg or even check out my match history to make sure. :) hope this helps.

item 3036 item 3071 item 3033 item 3035 ?? I'm pretty sure they count, considering you also used one of them in your main post. lol

those are armor pen and armor reduction on bc. youmou and duskblade no longer have armor pen just lethality, which isn't strong unless you keep building more lethality items

Ah, I see then. Then I revoke my "YES" and replace it with IDK. heh, I always go the build above and it is incredibly reliable on Miss Fortune for myself and my specific gameplay style. Sorry I got confused there. :) (the build still would do great against tanks btw, AS + Crit + % Armor Reduction is pure pain for them)
