Doesn't give lethality

It turns into a dirk eventually, so technically it does? Idk, up for debate.

Can't do much about this one, triggering intensifies.

BladeSingularityFeb 26, 20171 votes

Don't make it -4! They don't deserve perfection! Do -3.

SlaktarTaskenFeb 25, 20177 votes

You were down to -5 so I had to one up you to alleviate my triggering.

Nerf Lethality items so they all give 10 lethality Add 4 lethality (perfection) in runes, and now that's 44 lethality

Alternatively...

Buff Lethality items so they all give 1110 lethality. Add 4 lethality (perfection) in runes, and now that's 4444 lethality

For that we need to wait until year 2054, when Riot decided to make a patch every week. It'll be patch 44.44. Some may call it the most broken patch in history, but some may call it perfection.

Unfortunately, Lethality doesn't work very well on Jhin anymore (after his 4th rework), so even though lethality is ~~busted~~perfect, Jhin will hit 44.44% win rate across all regions.

Before Lethality came along, he had the same inclination regarding Crit-items:

+10% from Crit-Runes= 100% Crit.

Jhin :PERFECTION INTENSIFIES

Busty DemonessFeb 25, 20176 votes

Actually, that's 100% just from items.

20 on IE and Reaver 30 on RFC and PD

40 + 60 = 100

You attempted to ruin the true perfection of 100% with 10% crit runes.

EbonyBladeJ88Feb 25, 20177 votes

But that extra 10%...

Well, I just embarrassed myself by failing math on the internet. Yay!

item 3031 item 3094 item 3508 item 3046 ???

ΝichirinFeb 25, 20175 votes

No, the real reason, no jokes this time tho, is that without lethality and only with one lord dominik's he does absolute no damage or very little at all to the tanks only with the 4th shot.The lethality helps him to keep up with the tanks atleast, I agree tho it should be nerfed a little bit since you basically deal true damage to squishies with 2 lethality or 3 lethality items and lord dominik's...

Am i the only one that prefers the normal crit build ?

SpeeedyFeb 25, 20174 votes

i like it better late game but getting there in a game just takes too long verse the dmg from lethality

I'll bite, why do you think it's called late game? Edit: Although you do have a point about the lethality....

SpeeedyFeb 27, 20171 votes

the crit build absolutely does more damage in its full build compared to the full lethality build. The problem is getting to full build takes about 30-35 min in a game. since the average game time is under 30 min now, that is why we constantly see lethality builds out of adc. Going typical first items with a ghostblade vs IE, you are adding in the RNG of the 20% crit for how much damage you do. This can be slightly manipulated by certain characters like jhin and cait but since the change of the LW to 45% armor pen and a long sword builds into it. The crit build might be more viable now but only time will tell on that.
