and guess what, AD champions can use it.

seriously riot? xypherous said in 2012 that they will work into a balanced spellvamp AD item and fixe any abuse on any champion. why in 2015 we still have any news on this project?

You can't really compare Dota Itemization to LoL itemization, as they're built in two completely different ways. There is no "AD" or anything comparable. Instead, there's Strength, Agility, and Intellegence (Wisdom? whatever this one was). And Heroes are predefined with which stat increases their basic attack damage. If you're on an Agility hero, and you build strength, you get HP, HP regen, and something else I think, but you do not get any buffs to your AA.

As a result of these differences, Dota 2 itemization is hugely complex (and imo overly so for no good reason, just like the rest of the game, but that's just me), and you can't say "AD Dota Heroes can use their new spell vamp item" because there is no such thing as an AD hero. Thus, your thread is inherently flawed in its logic, and your criticism is a failure.

Strength gives you HP and HP regeneration, INT gives you mana and mana regeneration, agility gives you attack speed and armour, building the correct stat with ur heroes also give you 1 bonus attack damage with every stat

There are no "AD champs" in Dota. The concept of Abilitiy power and Attack damage don't transfer because 95% of dota abilities do not scale with any stat and every hero gets 1 onhit damage for every point of their primary stat.

BB with octarine is pretty sick, iono what you're talking about. Quill spray into a gang of enemies is instant sustain....i don't know what you're talking about.

spell vamp is a cancer stat and anybody who uses it makes it op

also it doesn't really matter for ad champs since most ad casters do their damage in an aoe so it's almost always at 1/3 effectiveness, there is no point in making an ad spellvamp item when you can just build a hydra to get relatively powerful burst healing and an active which you can combo with other spells

with your example, spellvamp+hydra would heal even more

also: Urgot Khazix don't have only aoe damage
