Opinion of building BORK on Jinx

Hey guys I just have a opinion what could possibly be a really good item to build on Jinx and want hear what you have to say. So first of all BOTRK gives 40% attack speed and 10% lifesteal with 25 AD, Which would be effective in team fights because she can sustain more as a immobile ADC and helps position her better in fights with the active ability on BORK. Which allows her to steal 10 percent of target maximum Hp, plus provides 25% of movement speed from the target, which can be really good for kiting assassins such as rengar.

Build for the situation. You don't generally want to double dip in Life Steal items unless you have a solid core in the other items you've bought over the course of the game. To rephrase, if you need a Mercurial Scimitar to avoid whatever long-ass cc the enemy team may have that would get you killed, build that Scimitar and don't be that stubborn butt that builds BotRK anyway because "muh build paths"

item 3153 is only really good when the other team builds a lot of health and armor.

Bork is the only real way to take down people who build item 3075 without kys.

If the other team only has 1 tank, and they don't build thornmail, Bork is a waste of an item on Jinx.

If you have to go item 3033 , bork might be more useful, but only if the other team is building health.

Really, building bork on jinx should be something you almost never do.

It 'seems' like a great item, but she already has a ton of attack speed, and she wants to maximize damage output so every time she throws a rocket at the other team, its a crit rocket that does a ton of damage and annihilates them.

She can't annihilate a team with pew pew pew. She does it with boom boom boom, and with eh-eh-eh-eh-eh (machine gun noises)

(I haven't played league in ~2-3 months, but I mained Jinx straight for ~1.5 years. I probably have like... 1000 games of just her.)

plus provides 25% of movement speed from the target, which can be really good for kiting assassins such as rengar.

Also, Jinx doesn't kite Rengar lol. She dies to him. Unless the rengar is awful, he's going to jump her in a dark ally and she's dead before you can say "Fishbones"

Rengar 1-2 shots Jinx, or at least he did last I remember. Her only chance against him is a GA -and- or a team that genuinely cares for her safety.

It's okay against teams that build a lot of health but you do miss out on a lot of potential AD by taking bork over some other big ticket AD item like a bloodthirster While Jinx does like to have the attack speed, AD is actually really nice for her ult and W, and she benefits highly from high crit cuz of rockets and hurricane
