My problem with these items:

: This item is balanced around the fact that not alot of mages actually use attack speed or some ADC like Varus that can build it with AP ratios. Problem is tho when an actual good mage can build it we see a champ that just starts winning auto offs with AD builders. Such is the problem with , high elo and previously . Furthermore, the item alone is first itemed for 140% gold efficiency, gets to about 165% after another 2 items and over 200% at full build leading me to the next item of problem:

: Yeh fun fact first iteming rabadons without runes or anything else is 101% gold efficient. A mage can second item and it can be one of the most gold efficient items they can build. At 4-5 items it reaches 200%+ gold efficency. Now see how bulding both of these items together basically give u 7000+ extra gold of value as you reach full build.

Now imagine how broken diana is with not only a stupid af kit but being able to build both of these items

( are also ridiculous items but them being hybrid damage and defence (which you half need to use properly) make them hard to judge other than direct gold efficiency comparison)

Funny how they are all so items. Yet you don’t mention item 3812 item 3053 which are the two most broken items in game.

Saying the item gains efficiency from its damage scaling is misleading at best and knowingly manipulative of the facts at worst.

item 3075 Doesn't become any more gold efficient with extra armor, and item 3152 doesn't magically become more efficient with extra AP for its active.

For the same reason that you wouldn't say Tristana's W is a "gold efficient" attack the more AP she has.

The only items that outright become more gold efficient are the ones that increase or decrease a % of a stat: item 3124 item 3071 item 3035 ( item 3036 item 3033 ) item 3089 item 3135 item 3042 item 3040 item 3001 item 3136 ( item 3151 ) , and item 3107 item 3504 item 3222 item 2065 for the % increased scaling portion of the heals/shields.

Try to calculate the gold efficiency of item 3124 on it´s core users i dare you :P

Or heck even item 3078 .

item 3193 .

item 3146 120% gold efficiency? Granted it's only really build on 2 or 3 champs ( Akali Katarina and sometimes Leblanc ) but still the build path is crazy efficient giving the option to pick up early AD when it matters and transition into a full item's worth of AP once you get your scaling online, plus the active gives some nice on-demand CC to champs with very little ( Akali minor slow on Q, Leblanc conditional skillshot root) or no CC ( Katarina ) also the burst is pretty intense.

I wish they would change it honestly. I main Kat and would very much like to open up my early game build path, but as it stands nothing comes anywhere near the effectiveness, efficiency, and utility of Gunblade...
