The issue that is the Stattik Shiv + Rapidfire Cannon + Warlords Bloodlust Combo

My problem with that build is that it currently provides way too much for what its worth.

item 3087:

  • Burst damage
  • Wave clear

item 3094:

  • Extra range
  • Extra damage on single target
  • Energized attacks charge 25% faster

Warlords bloodlust:

  • Sustain
  • Movespeed

Each one of these is fine to build on their own but when coupled together, especially with item 3006 and an item 3031 , it covers almost all of the weaknesses an ADC should have, but doesn't due to these items. This is partly why I thinkCaitlyn is so strong right now because it gives her the most range in the game (except for lv 18 trist), extra waveclear, extra burst and lifesteal with just these items. It's the same deal with Draven .

Now I'm aware that these items brought some underplayed ADC's back to life such as Tristana Jhin MissFortune Vayne and less so, Lucian to build crit but so diditem 3153.

The problem with these items are that they are TOO good.

My solution would be to either: lower the bonus damage on shiv or decrease the attack speed from 35% -> 30%, provide less range on RFC or to reduce some of the movespeed/sustain on warlords.

Keep in mind, I'm all for bot lane diversity but when stuff like this makes it so that there is less and less counterplay to ADCs then that is an issue I certainly have to take up.

Can you stack Statikk and RFC? I thought it was either or.

I didn't realize they stacked. That's insane amount of power to combos those.
