Crit is so bad that against a dummy as L9 jinx w/boots, stormrazor+rageblade+ldr = IE+shiv+rf in dps

ok look crit is still the highest DPS for her

as you can see stacking pure AD by itself is pretty weak in scaling

LDR doesn't matter at full build vs a 100 armor target apparently

I find it curious that you immediately went to full build when I stated two non-full builds. (Full build is probably also the least relevant dps timing in the game; one and two item spikes matter much more, and IE is borderline unbuildable early.) You also didn't test IE/RFC/Stormrazor/Rageblade/LDR, which is notable for being sub 100% crit and doing at least the same damage as a 100% crit build. That should raise some questions.

You also so severely overcap on AS on some of those builds that you should be checking rocket dps (especially since your DPS uncaps after kill on minigun and that DPS will be very relevant). Rocket DPS on the build with rageblade instead of one crit item is over 100 DPS higher than IE/hurricane/pd/stormrazor/ldr, for instance.

I absolutely wish I were wrong on this shit, but I'm not. It's depressing and stupid.

Also, stacking pure AD obviously sucks ass. The point wasn't that stacking AD is good; it's that the point at which crit and AS outshines just buying more ad and AS is REALLY FUCKING LATE (as in 4 or 5 items late) because of rageblade. And even then, since I can't test this with BoRK on a dummy (which scales nice and nutso with rageblade), it's not at all clear crit will actually pull ahead, either.

edit: Here are some 3 item builds: https://puu.sh/AzZ7t/e3e755bad5.png

I would choose the stormrazor + crit build for the crit rocket pokes even though for on-paper DPS rageblade + crit is the best by a little bit

The problem is you were testing some of your builds at 3 items with LDR. Getting LDR that early depends entirely upon enemy armor.

LDR doesn't depend on enemy armor at all. It's literally total armor pen. It's effective against everyone. For god's sake, a normal mage with hourglass has around 100 AR at level 11, and most champions end the game with 80+ just from levels. LDR is an item that's good against everyone at a certain point.

EDIT: It is literally AD Void Staff. Do you skip void staff because the enemy team isn't building MR? No -- hell, sometimes, that's -more- of a reason to keep buying into pen. IT's the same here. Once you get to a certain point, the armor pen is just better for increasing your damage.
