Friendly reminder that a few ADC items are quite underpriced

I play ADCs from time to time, and my first ítem is usually item 3072 because of sustain.

Today I played a game as Jinx, and decided to change, buying item 3085 as first ítem instead.

Suddenly I had high crit chance, great farming, AOE damage and the ability to poke the enemy Vayne without even attacking her directly.

Why the hell this ítems item 3085 item 3094 item 3087 cost 1000 gold less tan the "big ADC ítems" when they are so effectivee to snowball?

Most ADCs go item 1038 > item 3086 > item 3087 or item 3085 > item 3031

I rarely ever see an ADC rush BT outside of maybe Draven, but mostly he gets DD now. So saying they cost less than the "big ADC item" when literally every ADC rushes them is kinda wrong. If anything, outside of IE, those items are the big ADC items, not in terms of cost but in terms of giving them what they want.

You...you do know you're supposed to rush item 3085 after a item 1038 on Jinx right?

Starting with attack speed or bloodthirster is seen only in bronze games i don't think your post will be taken seriously

Well unless you're Draven. He's probably the only ADC that can get away with buying a BT as his first item.

Reminder that rushing BT used to more or less give you 4200+ gold value for 3000 gold, considering you would still be farming up the bonus AD + lifesteal.

The items you mention aren't snowballng items, they are scalling items. You need AD to actually make good use of them. Old BT was an actual snowball item, especially for caster like ADCs.
