Twitch, Vayne, and Cutlass.

As a lot of us know (those of us that read the patch notes at least,) BF sword got a pretty huge cost decrease, thus allowing MOST adcs to get to their power spikes a little bit earlier. Now here's my complaint. The cost of cutlass is really screwing over what were top tier adcs like kalista vayne and twitch. How does bf sword and the cost of cutlass have anything to do with win rates? Well before the cost decrease of bf sword, it was 1,500. Cutlass was and still is 1650. Say there was a bot lane that consisted of Draven vs Vayne. They would reach their power spikes around relatively the same time, because they costed about the same. Of course whoever was ahead would still reach their power spike first, but thats besides the point. Now with BF Sword costing 200 gold, or 5-6 waves less, (not sure the cost of a single wave) champions like Draven, Miss fourtune, Lucian, etc will now reach their power spikes before champions like vayne, twitch, Kalista. And since this season is already all about snow balling, it really hurts these champions that rush or used to rush bork because they are already behind if they try to build this item. I hope someone from riot will see this and take this into consideration of buffing cutlass by making the cost lower. Because I honestly think that the wins rates of these 3 champions counters have went up an extreme amount after this BF sword buff.

~Side point: Please give twitch some kind of CC to kite better, his slow isn't good. Please nerf some tank items or buff some pen items. Tired of rammus being able to get steraks and thornmail and being unkillable even with dominik's regard.

Thank you.

I dont know if my Twitch build is efficient but it works for me, I am only Gold 1 though. But depending on how lane is going, I normally rush a bf sword only then build straight into ghostblade, I think its a good item on twitch. I get Botrk situationally, Its good for surprise kills. especially when u are ahead, if u are behind, id skip the item until late. bc its not a huge powerspike to u, especially behind. My personally opinions though. I could be wrong, im just stating what has been working for me. As for Vayne, I never really build botrk anymore entirely.

I just find it very saddening. I've always played vayne with a bork rush. Now that crit is still a big factor in this meta and with the bf sword costing less, I find it very hard to be consistent on her. It's making me have to change to a different build, unless I want to be behind the entire game and not be a factor at all, and that's what I SERIOUSLY don't like. Having to build differently now feels Foreign. I find myself really struggling having to choose between an attack speed rush build with no ad, and an ad rush build with no attack speed. It feels harder to get gold without going the bork path too, which in both cases ultimately fails me. I get no gold or laning pressure without it, and if I DO attempt to go that route, it sets me behind. With burst adcs getting their BF sword power spike at least 3 minutes before me, I don't feel as confident nor do I feel as impactful. It's seriously giving vayne and twitch a way worse laning phase than they already had. So all in all, it's really just one big huge mess for me.item 3070 I hope you can see where I'm coming from with all of this, and take this into thought. Thank you.
