Riot there is a major shortage of decent attack speed items that are not niche

If you can not understand this then just look at the attack speed items.

Zeal items which are marksmen items and fiercly tied to crit chance.

Enchantment: Bloodrazor which will require giving up a summoner spell to get "might actually be worth it at this point"

Trinity which has a negligible attack speed of 15% after getting changed around to have more crit chance then attack speed.

Nashor's tooth which is an item only bought by the likes of Kayle and Azir.

Rageblade which has 0% attack speed when you have no stacks and now costs to much to consider rushing which is when people would get it due to it being only really good during laning phase for melee.

BotRK which was nerfed because some marksmen were "breaking" it. Seriously no one gets this anymore, even vayne is at a 24.1% buy rate on this item and that is the highest.

And Wit's end which no one outside of Warwick tends to get because the combination of stats offered are hard to justify for most other champs at the cost of 2800.

Why can't we have a couple decent attack speed items that are not so tied to crit chance, jungling or some other greatly limiting factor to who can make good use of it for the cost?

Literally the only one on this list that shows up as a decent greater then 25% Attack speed item not limited to a specific group of champs is BotRK and it is not Proving to be worth getting currently even in this meta full of "everything builds tank" which but by all means should to some degree counter.

I'm having a really hard understanding what your insistence on why crit is bad for an auto attacking champion. A zeal item is never bad, the only crit items that don't work well alone are the big ones, Essence Reaver and Infinity Edge

When you have on hit in a champs kit crit often times becomes less valued. THis is why Irelia and Jax hate Trinity force this season. It lost stats they could reasonably use and were given an RNG stat that they do not stack and only got because it is part of trinity force.

Irelia's Q can not crit and does not give a rageblade stack in turn both of these factos make both rageblade and phantom dancer less the nideal options for her. Jax puts great value into getting his passive ramped up as well as his three strike passive on his ult but rageblade as of now is too high of a cost for something that is not instant reliable power.

This might or might not explain well enough to you why season 2 Wit's end was good for on-hit champs who are not building 4 or 5 damage items and not heavily equipped with magic damage. It did have a ramp up time but it offered enough from the base stats to justify buying.

You think rageblade is still worth to get for 2nd or 3rd item on Irelia or nah

Edit: Yeah it's kinda garbage now
