Why is no one abusing storm razor on garen

I tried it out and it seems so busted, I 1 shot squishies almost instantly, though I would only rush it if I'm in a poke lane, because it's build components are too weak to make it a good first item into champions like darius, I would build it 2nd after triforce or black cleaver in those lanes.

Storm razor gives everything garen wants, a slow on his q, crit damage on his e, more spins with attack speed, and more damage.

If u are doubting me, just try it one game, and u'll see what im talking about. Instant death to squishies.

Well we know cleaver is a "efficient core item", but this might be some secret build that has potential. Experimenting is one of the few actual fun we get from this game. Keep it up.

It really is quite good. Especially next patch if the nerfs go through I think I'll be building it pretty often, because of the way it's going to line up. They're changing him to get a spin with each 25% AS instead of 20%, and Berserker Greaves + Stormrazor give you exactly 50% AS, so 2 spins. A build like Trinity > Berserker's > SR > Sterak's > Tank items could be really good. At level 18 it would give +152% AS, so just over 6 extra spins. Even though the nerfs will be pretty annoying, I think a build like this should make it not hurt too much.

Also, it's not that no one is abusing stormrazor, it's that only about 5% of Garen players are.

probably because stormrazor is rather situational on adcs at best

on a garen it is a weird off-meta item, even with how things have changed for him

Two options:

  • Either it's actually good and the meta simply hasn't catch up yet. Remember that disseminating information takes time and that the change to Stormrazor is only a patch old. ;)
  • Or it's good, but still-not-as-good-as Triforce/Phantom Dancer, and Garen rarely go for more than 2 offensive items, so there's no room for Stormrazor.

But yeah, I'm definitely gonna try Stormrazor myself sometimes.

Stormrazor is only 15% Attack Speed.

It doesn't even add 1 spin...

Right now in 9.23 he gets 1 extra spin per 20% attack speed
