Lifesteal needs to be toned down across the board

Really enjoy landing my entire combo on Draven, only to have him survive with 20% health and proceed to two shot me while simultaneously recovering all of his health.

Draven then most champions benefit from lifesteal the most because of how strong item 3812 item 3072 is on him.

So here's the weird part about the lifesteal stat, let's say you had a Jinx buy bloodthirster as her first item, if she were to attack an enemy she wouldn't be lifestealing that much at all because she wouldn't have enough damage in her inventory.

The way lifesteal works (I tested this) is that the more AD you have the more you lifesteal, I know it's weird that it's this way but this is also the reason why ADC's buy this item as their last one.

Lifesteal is actually a really weak stat believe it or not, it's only strong in 1v1 maybe. But in team fights if more than one enemy would jump on the ADC they wouldn't usually be able to lifesteal all the damage from the enemies combo.

In my opinion lifesteal is one of the worst stats in the game, coming from an ADC main. I always just buy damage items, and I don't really buy lifesteal that much anymore unless I really have to.

But referring back to what you were saying, I think Draven was just exceptionally strong with life steal because he deals so much damage with his axes that he is healing for more than your entire combo. The problem isn't with lifesteal itself, it's just Draven .

Btw to kill a draven to play as Rammus item 3143 item 3075 item 3110 and then build anything you like from there.

The reason of buying these 3 items specifically is because randuuins just lowers critical damage you take, lowers attack speed of those who attack you, thorn mail doesn't need to be explained, and frozen heart has a nice aura passive that slows attack speed of those around you. That would be a total of - 30 attack speed to enemies, which might not be much but it will help.

by any chance was the item 3109 Alistar near him or was it just the item 3812

Maybe look at his items before you try that and you wont have 30 seconds to look at them at the fountain. Deaths Dance or knights vow is almost always the reason. Next time kite and poke until you can finish.

'You just have to kite the champion with 430+ movement speed and poke it down while it life steals 30% of it's health per second!'

Great advice. Not only do I have to kite a champion significantly faster than me, I have to also 'poke it down' while it's healing around 500 health / second.
