lightbringer is strong and should be added to Summoner's rift

Lightbringer provides 30% crit chance and 90% bonus ad as magic bleed on crit. It is a strong crit-based item, giving as much crit as the standard zeal-based attack speed item. The magic bleed is a crit amplifier and acts the the 250% crit bonus to IE. So with ER, IE, Bloodthirster, Lightbringer, a crit will deal 210 bonus magic damage on bleed in addition to the approximately 800 ad from the crit. It's an especially nice item on champions who do not build tons of attack speed, since ER+IE+lightbringer+zeal item gets you to 100% crit.

It would be nice to have buildpaths in SR that allow 100% crit without building two zeal items, allowing for less frequent but harder-hitting crits.

Yasuo? What would it do for him

probably not more than shiv tbh.

his double crit chance limits him to how many crit items he can actually use properly. if he buys infinity edge, its basically either one or the other.

dont forget yasuo also scales with attack speed. his q cooldown goes down for example, so a pure ad/crit item might still not be optimal for him.

and with how little counterplay stealth and traps have since pink wards are made visible, limited to 1, and they removed the ward upgrade and green wards, id like to see an item like lightbringer on the rift.

id definitely like to see a item 3122 item that focuses purely on ad and crit at some point. maybe they could gear it towards bruisers. i could finally run crit builds on garen again, which hasnt been working since the ghostblade changes.
