Assassin items vs Adc items.

So. I see ALOT and I mean ALOT of complaints that Adc does too much damage now, they have too much agency. Blah blah blah. So I guess in my typical fashion I’ll do some maths.

So. The core builds will be a standard triple lethality vs triple crit item build, and I’ll even include costs.

Additional note. Every point of armor is a 1% increase to your effective health. So every point of lethality acts as a 1% boost to your effective damage, due to removing that armor. I’ll also be assuming 18 lethality because “not muh late game” assassins cry about

Lethality. Duskblade of drakkthar Youmuus ghostblade Edge of night.

165 ad 54 lethality. So +54% damage essentially.

That’s pretty nuts. But okay

Adc time.

Infinity edge Statik shiv Phantom dancer.

80 ad 75% crit 65% attack speed.

Damage amp included, each auto attack has an average increase to damage of about 68.75%.

Now for the costs of these lovely builds.

8800 gold for the assassin build

9100 gold for the Adc build.

These average builds do easily comparable damage, yet one is getting the living shit bashed out of it.

The assassin build tends to do even more damage due to the raw amount of ad they give and their main damage amp applying to their abilities.
