Opinions about whether 5.8 BoTRK and 5.8 Runaan (on Kalista) are balanced or not?

In the past split that was the big return of tanky dudes thanks to Bami's Chinder introduction and his upgrades (Cinderhulk and Sunfire) and the reduction of power from IE + statik combo and the DFG removal that reduced assassins role and enhanced tanks, which have becomed a very important part of meta lately

Now got a huge lifesteal boost in 5.8 patch, to counter these tanky dudes. Do you think Rioters hit the right spot with this BoTRK boost, or they overdid with the lifesteal and there would be the need for further changes on this item (like for example reverting back some of these lifesteal changes or reducing on hit passive damage)?

Where do you think Kalista will rank among ADCs now that got 10 physical damage on hit (the main projectile)?

let's look at kalista first before we look at what she builds ;l

Kalista routinely yet builds Runaan right now, and there has been no change for the other major marksmen AS items (PD/Statik), so I guess it is fair to ask for opinions on the Runaan build on her

Kalista should be going BT first anyway....

item 3085 only has +10 on your regular auto, it doesn't add to the additional ones (wasn't sure if you thought it was for all 3 shots). As far as item 3153 goes, I think the additional lifesteal is sooooo beneficial with the way the meta is at this time. But, on the other hand with the buffs to item 3071 , it might be just a little over doing it. I mean think about it, you get item 3035 item 3072 item 3085 item 3031 you are such a strong adc with that build that tanks are gonna fall off. Then it's gonna be about who can output the most DPS. I mean, that is literally a tank buster build. 35% from LW and another 30% from BC, plus the Bork passive. That's insane damage. And if you substitute Runaan's for PD, crits and tank busting is gonna be off the charts (Who needs boots anymore at that point?). I guess we'll see how it goes!
