Stop building runnans first!

To all you 's, 's and 's.

Please, for the love of god stop doing this.

buy bf, then finish your atk speed item then finish dmg item.

I don't know when runnans was so broken that you could complete that item before adding any AD to your base. But it's time is over.

There are 3 states at which you exist in bottom lane. Ahead, on par, and behind.

Runnan's does nothing for any of these.

"Herp derp but it helps in team fights."

I'm not going to go into the math. I can if pressed but trust me.

Simply put, Not adding any AD to your AD ONLY scaling abilities is not worth the imaginary dmg increase you're going to have in the imaginary team fight where you get to get off 10 autos on 3 targets using runnan's.

it actually tilts me to see some1 have no items but d-blade and hurricane lol.

still tho its pretty common to get flamed for building bf then zeal, by noobs ofc but it does happen and if its your support it usually ends up in you 1v2ing while he jacks off in a bush midlane talkin shit.

Yea I think the only ADC that can some what pull off first item Runnan's might be Kalista though even she probably would be better off rushing item 3153 first. but yea...those ADCs really need something before Runnan's though, even if its only a BF sword like you mentioned.

The problem is they can build whatever they desire if they think it's best for them, just because you don't like it doesn't mean they have to stop.

Now I completely agree with you that I don't see why it's a go to build first over anything else but they obviously do.

If you lose lane on a scaling champ, its often a good idea to rush a runaans and push sidelines and do camps with it to farm back into the game. Yes you dont get as much combat stats from the buy but it will help you farm better and sometimes thats all you're going to be doing until you make money anyways.

Between press the attack, and other such damage amps, and the fact you will likely face at least 2 people; Runaans isn't a bad buy if you find yourself at base with less than BF.

Caitlyn shouldn't still be buying that. The changes made awhile back killer her winrate with that thing. The other two it's perfectly fine with.
