Can I add item 3072 Bloodthurster 20% and BotRK item 3149 10%, for maximum 30% ? Or is there a cap limit for it ?

Probably Olaf with his W

With like... Bloodthirster, Deaths Dance, Botrk, Scimitar, Ravenous Hydra, Maw of M (lifeline) and elixir of Wrath?

Maybe

W gives 22%, BT gives 20%, Botrk gives 12%, Deaths Dance gives 15% (also gives lifesteal for other stuff too), Scimitar gives 10%, Ravenous Hydra gives 12%, Maw's lifeline gives 10%, elixir of wrath gives 15% (also gives lifesteal for other stuff too)

Also Legend Bloodline gives 12%

128% lifesteal?

You can stack lifesteal but you kinda do end up seeing some diminishing returns, especially if people build Bramble Vest, Executioner's Culling, or Morellonomicon against you.

In Short you can add bloodthirsteritem 3072 to BotRKitem 3153. However, there are complications with stacking some lifesteal items.

I have been reading around a bit trying to find an answer to the max lifesteal and nobody seems to know. As far as I can tell there is no max.

Some items have lifesteal as 'unique'. The larger number gives a bonus, the smaller 'unique' values will not increase lifesteal. This prevents the stacking of 6 Bloodthirsters. But not the stacking of 6 BotRK.

Two unique 20% lifesteal items wont give 40%, only 20%. A 15% unique lifesteal and a 20% unique lifesteal will still only give a max of 20% As far as I know the only exception to this rule is shield and spell power where all uniques do add up together.

-Bloodthirsteritem 3072 is unique, it will stack with other lifesteal items as long as they are not specifically "Unique:lifestealXX%"

-BotRKitem 3153 is not unique as the lifesteal is just a standard part of the item, this will stack with everything.

-Vampiric scepteritem 1053 and blilgewater cutlass item 3144 are not unique and will stack with everything.

-Deaths danceitem 3812 is a different lifesteal unique (to the bloodthirster) so will stack with other different unique lifesteal items such as bloodthirster and normal lifesteal items like botRK, vampiric scepter.

-Hextech gunbladeitem 3146 shares the same unique as Deaths dance.

-Wits enditem 3091 stacks with pretty much every other item ( I think) because even though it looks like a similar unique its labelled differently and is only for low health. However its not really true lifesteal because its just applied to the damage done by wits end.

I read on a forum that while you can stack the BotRKitem 3153 lifesteal, it is not usually worth stacking them it because it has a special activated ability that is factored into the cost and a player would be better using a range of different items.

For example, Master Yi can stack 6 BotRK for epic attack speed and lifesteal but he would be better off with a few different items, ie, 1 BoTRK, deaths danceitem 3812 , bloodthirsteritem 3080 and then guardian angelitem 3026 and Dead mans plateitem 3742 .

Most importantly, if you build everything on damage and lifesteal and take no armor its often gg-game over the second you get stunned. If you are melee the same happens if you get rooted or slowed. If a lot of the team take pure lifesteal and some or all your team gets hit by maokaisMaokai roots or veigarsVeigar stun then that is a big problem. Even if you stay behind tanks there is always an offchance the enemy team will rush you or someone will hit you from behind.
