Guinsoo's on MF thoughts?
You would think with her Q scaling 50% AP this would be good for her. Her autos with her passive would be better with rage blades passive. Am I missing something here?

You know, I hadn't even considered it, but it may not be a terrible idea. I am a pretty big fan of crit on MF, myself, but I realize it's not optimal with the current numbers. I imagine you could make an attack speed build work with lethal tempo.
She's not much of a speed based auto attacker though. So building stacks is hard. She more about the EAAQAAR
Most builds have you build 1 AS item anyway. So if I use this one for the passives and the Q scaling, I wonder how it would help. I see uzi sttart with Doran's ring. Why is this any different? I will try it and see how it feels. I could post back, and give some feedback if anyone is interested.
pressing R and one shotting their entire team with cleaver and armor pen is just better lol
I think one of the largest power spikes in Guinsoo's comes from the double-on-hit from the Guinsoo's Rage passive. That being said, a sneaky MF could easily proc Love Tap twice on someone every single auto by autoing the champion, autoing a minion, then autoing the champion again. I haven't tested this but I'd anticipate it's certainly possible as I see no reason Love Tap wouldn't be considered an on-hit for the purpose of Guinsoo's Rage.
That being said, she'd need at least 140%-150% of her base attack speed to make this viable - as she's only benefiting from the passive if she's able to attack a a champ, minion, champ, minion, etc. That requires twice the number of autos to get the same amount of autos on the champ - but when you consider the extra damage provided by Guinsoo's Rage+Love Tap, it'd probably even out to the same damage at 40-50% bonus AS. Guinsoo's provides 25% bonus attack speed, so if MF were to buy a RFC (30% AS) or a Phantom Dancer (45% AS) then this would easily work in her favor - given she has the mechanics to double-proc Love Tap by flashing minion attacks in between champion autos without inadvertently slowing her autos down.
Damn, I really wanna test this now.
I see posts saying ulting the team is better, and I agree, but I can still build leth items I usually build a RFC or static shiv so I would still have 3 other items with full ad and leth. I use swiftness boots. I can easily swap to berserker treads and not build the other AS item and build a IE or something.
I honestly don't see how this item is bad on MF.
It's not necessarily bad, but it just feels like lethality, or even crit builds, are more consistent. And that if you want a ramping dps adc with rageblade, varus and kog'maw are kinda better
I hear what you guys are saying. Thank you for all your input. That's what I love about this game. You can play around with different builds, and try new things. Theory crafting is so much fun. I will give it a whirl and try it out. it can't hurt. You guys are right though about crit and leth. I will prolly end up build that. I like to Q a lot with her so I was thinking that could help early game with that. Its cheap and I can still build leth and crit items. Or even sell it late game for a leth or crit item. That is not the best way, but it's an option
