Randuins feels so worthless

I built it 3rd on top of another armor item and I still get lit up on damage from a semi fed lucian withitem 3153 item 3035 item 3046 item 3031

Whats the point of building an item, nerfed to only be good mitigating damage from a crit building adc, if its not doing its job?

On paper it sounds like it tackles everything, but in practice im still getting bursted zzZ

well the lucy only had a item 3046 and an item 3031 so only 50% crit chance it's best used for that full 100% crit chance 2 attack speed jinx

But what other damage did he have. Granted 3 item ADC vs 2 Armor isn't great. But it does suck to just have armor do nothing (or feel like nothing). I dont know how when I watch esports their tanks actually don't die lol.

well it's not just that but remember item 3143's armor got buffed but health got nerfed while item 3035 still penetrates a % of bonus armor and also that doesn't help since lucy is a caster marksman so that 15% attack speed reduction isn't going to do much

The fact is randuin reduced crit by only 20% currently (I believe never built it now nor before so correct me if I'm wrong) While IE gives 50% additional dmg. After Randuin it's 230% so it still high. Furthermore Lucian does two auto for one... And you know how much he does like botrk. Add to that Last Whisper and you get shred as a tank even if your build is correct.

So I don't know what to say. Randuin's has always been weak to my eyes. I built not more than 3 times because everytime I built it I never felt it was useful. You could just go for dmg and try to kill Lucian rather than build this item.

That's not how reductions work in this game. Reductions reduce the total, not the AD ratio. 20% of 250% is 50%, so it effectively negates the IE crit bonus, or brings their crits down to 160% AD if they don't have IE.

If you didn't build it you would've died way faster

reminder the only tanks in the meta right now are tanks with reworked high damage values bordering on that of bruisers/juggs, because defensive stats are so useless right now and damage is king.

It really does. I never build it anymore.

item 3742 is the far superior item for bruisers/juggernauts, even against crit stackers. They can't kite you if they're dead, plus the extra MS can help you dip in and out of combat much easier.

item 3083 has saved my ass way more than item 3143
