Patch 5.1 ADC IE vs BT Rush
I'm just curious as to see where most people stand as to what item to rush now that IE was nerfed. Also assuming that if you rush IE you get pd ASAP since the damage from IE was moved onto PD.

PD rush
The CRIT of IE was moved to PD not the Damage. Damage and Crit are two highly different things.
BT is one of the lowest DPS items in the game
It is only rushed if you are dying a lot or have AD spells
You're better off rushing Bork over BT, but either way...
PD rush!
I'm gonna say still probably IE over BT because you get lifesteal from runes/double dorans, and IE just gives more overall damage. The only real change would be if an ADC debated BoRK or Triforce vs IE, then it's probably favorable to delay IE.
What about rushing BotRK?
I personally like getting Avarice Blade early and just not bothering to upgrade it until I finish a few other items.
If you rush IE you will probably have AS runes
If you rush PD you will probably have AD runes
Also remember that PD is literally 1k Cheaper than IE meaning realistically its possible to compare something like Doran + PD + BF sword vs Doran + IE + idk 2nd Doran?
70 HP 57 AD 50% AS 35% Crit 5% MS 3% LS
vs
140 HP 94 AD 20% Crit 50% Crit dmg 6% LS
(Did I forget anything?)
Lv9 ... lets say Graves, no steroids D+PD+BF = 231 DPS 2D+IE = 213 DPS
I'll do the math for BT too if ya want, but what item would you take with it? try to get it around 4700g
I doubt the change will force many if any to go from IE back to BT. The AD is still the same, the crit chance is still good and the passive is still what makes crit builds good. The passive on BT just can't compete with that. And unless you've a massive AS steroid then the lifesteal isn't likely going to overpower the crits. And even if you do have a massive AS steroid, then IE is still a better choice because hey, more crits.
