How to get common sense back into the game.

#1 If your champion does not scale in anyway with attack speed, do not build triforce over ice gauntlet. #2 Bloodrazor is only good if your champion scales with attack speed or attack speed boost.

I just read a comment somewhere suggesting bloodrazor and triforce on jungle malphite - my god, which reminds of of some other bullcrap I've experienced a while ago in a ranked match. Some knucklehead on top lane who claimed to play Skarner jungle was complaining my build of bloodrazor and triforce (with press the attack).

Alright the bloodrazor part is understandable because cinderhulk might be just as good because of health scaling in his w. But I take bloodrazor because of the dueling potential (this will give you one of the strongest dueling power in the game), faster clear speed as well as objective controls. Skarner's q is designed for clear speed and it scales with attack speed. His crystals give massive bonus attack speed (110% at max I believe). Sometimes you might get a chance to solo dragon and bloodrazor will let you do it quicker than cinderhulk. Trust me, if you're playing skarner because of his shield then go play sion or something. He does the same thing.

But arguing that triforce is unviable build on skarner (in fact it is a core build) is unacceptable and unbelievable and this guy should rightfully be banned from the game not because of the toxicity but because of the pure stupidity and ignorance.

Anyways. Back to my point, if your champion does not scale well with attack speed, don't build triforce, even though there are some exceptions like nasus. The movespeed boost from the item is very attractive to nasus and since nasus already has slow, the slow from the ice gauntlet isn't very useful. Or the enemy champ's health is so low that you don't want to waste your q on it, but do not have enough attack speed. But in most situations icegauntlet still a better build on nasus if you aren't winning your lane massively. Same goes for trundle. Trundle might get the attack speed boost from his w, but it does not mean he is an on-hit champion. What trundle needs is cdr and health. I've seen too many people who play trundle rush triforce and lose the game. Same goes for plethora of other champions.

People have the right do discuss what they think is viable/not. Maybe they have found success with/without an item you build. Banning somebody for thinking an item is better/worse than what you build isn't justifiable. That's like having 2 Kled mains, one who rushes Titanic Hydra and one who rushes Black Cleaver. Neither one can just state their build is better and go as far as to ban the other for playing the champ differently.
