Yes. It gives a bit of everything which is great for hitting earlier powerspikes.

It was recently buffed and gives a lot of different stats for a relatively easy build path compared to the BF Sword items, so a lot of ADC's now use it. It also gives a pretty hefty lifesteal stat that can substitute for bloodthirster.

I don't think it was a buff per say... it was a slight re working of some stats on it... it got lower attack speed and additional ad you lost 15% attack speed but gained 15ad... makes the item more viable on more champs even those who really don't need the attack speed so its still nice to get some... but you aren't reliant on it for attack speed as you use to be if you built bork.

a champ for example is Renekton he scales better with the ad of it... the lifesteal works well on him with his natural sustain but he didn't really build it before due to the lower ad , it wasn't cost efficient for him, now that it has more ad, and less attack speed it is a more attractive item for him to build.

and as far as Lucian for example with his passive is able to apply the on hit effect... he is also a caster in a sense not really reliant on attack speed but more so on hit with passive and scaling ad... but him being an marksmen he still needs some attack speed to make his autos better. so before it didn't have enough ad to make worth while unless vs a heavy tank comp... but now with a better mixture of stats of ad, as , ls and the active of bork he benefits a lot more from it. because as Lucian you want to be able to have movement speed enhancers like the old ghostblade he use to rush. its basically took over that item for him .
