Botrk should be more expensive (to prevent top lane players from rushing)

Botrk is a DPS item. I keep seeing Jax players at top rush it, and start the game 0/3.

First - top lane is not a DPS lane, you will never get more than 3+ auto attacks. Especially in teamfights. Lower brackets where players choose champs with no CC = you can practically build anything.

Second - Botrk is horrible compared to how good the triforce is for toplane. Triforce does everything better than Botrk. Split pushing, teamfights, and burst.

Third - the situations for botrk are - enemy top laner is a PURE tank bruiser, ex : mundo, even then early game triforce will obliterate any tank, and give you more HP / movespeed which is critical to not getting mundo (or tank) + jungler tower dives at top.

So, what else is wrong with Botrk at top lane? It doesn't give any HP. Also, if you really did want lifesteal, Ravenous Hydra is also a better alternative. But the only reason Ravenous Hydra works as a rush item, is because you can wave clear / farm up quick gold for a sunfires / randoins

Situations where Botrk actually helps - ADC is 50-100+ CS ahead of enemy adc. But at that point any item advantage regardless at that stage would have been a better buy. Even in big tournies where champions that already do % hp damage, will not buy Botrk because a triforce will do better. At this point we question, why even bother building damage at top lane? When we can have an AP bruiser or Tank at top.

The solution to Botrk would be to make it an exclusive melee or ranged item, not both. Melees already have ghostblade and ravenous hydra, there is no need for Botrk to confuse newer players.
