You face a 7500 HP Sion with only base armor and a Spirit Visage for resistances.

Is item 3036 a better item to take against him, or is item 3153? Or what about both?

Take both lol.

The new LW items don't work against base armor, only bonus, they'd just be a waste of gold.

Does anyone even read the item descriptions?

Edit: Yes I know it gives up to a 15% bonus.

I'd grab an executioners calling and the blade of ruined king, but yeah not a lot of people read anything and are quick to downvote.

You mean Giant slayer?

I don't always upgrade it into giant slayer, some times I just want the grievous wounds.

LDR amplifies all physical damage dealt, including BotRK damage. Not saying it's optimal, but not as bad as you make it seem.

I think the point was the (up to) +15% physical damage against higher health opponents. Obviously by itself it wouldn't be much against a 7500 HP Sion, but combined with BORK it could be worth it (I believe BORK's passive is affected by the LW item's passive).

Neo Cyrus1 votes

Yeah I got that. What I'm saying is most ADC builds don't have enough AD for 15% to be worth the 2700 cost of the item versus a different build path.

It doesn't scale off AD, it scales off physical damage. Obviously useless for some champions (Vayne and Corki, for instance), but it could work for some others.

Probably be better off with crit, though.

Neo Cyrus1 votes

Yeah, I'm saying not enough AD for enough damage for it to be worth that path versus another.

Full crit or flat penetration and dodge his easy mode abilities XD

Blade of the Noob Trap is crapola.

I'd grab bloodthirster. No armor? I can just stand there and facetank you with lifesteal yo.

BoRK. Dominiks is effectively a giant slayer + pickaxe. Not worth any stats. Obviously, if you can get both, get like IE components, or RFC over the LW

item 1306 is the better item so you run the hell away from him and take no damage while praying that you don't get ganked by the 10000 HP Annie.

FantasySniper1 votes

Both. If you aren't building crit, you might also want to get a Youmuu's or Maw just cause.

Bottk. Dominiks will effectively be worthless since there is no bonus armor to penetrate
