just buy a 
and you're in for a free lanephase versus 90% of toplaners for just 900g.....
and riot's balance team is wondering why people pick late game carries like 
and 
in the toplane when literaly everything else is no longer viable because of this item.
instead of the lane being around outplaying the enemy its now about countering them with broken early game items.
YokoNomi1 votesThere are plenty of top laners that the item doesn't work against though. It feels like if you're going to make a stretch for an argument, you shouldn't ignore the obvious.
Sujiren1 votesYou got me, been rushing that on my sion or malphite pretty much every game vs ad.
Need Gold 4 Tent1 votesThe irony is that it actually works even better against sustaining AD casters that come in to chunk you/heal/back off than the actual autoattackers who just eventually just hit their minions and heal up again anyway. I've screwed with every single Renekton in top lane rushing this on Shen, and even Fiora has trouble early on.
Catastrop1 votesAp toplaners are a thing that exist you know.
Quepha1 votesYasuo and Fiora get set back like 10 minutes by a bramble vest. They're basically the exact champions the item was made to counter.
