Can anyone at Riot explain to me why Shiv adds more Damage per hit then IE. No i don't mean total DPS i mean more damage per hit. One would think an attack speed+mana item would add less damage per hit then an item built with double raw damage.

Shiv does 360 ever 3 hits for a total of 120 damage per hit, wow that's a lot

IE does 40 per hit+ extra damage on crits. Lets use 2 Star Zed as an example since being a Ninja gives him really high base AD relative to other units in the game making him one of the best IE users in the game.

At 2 Star Zed has 76 AD, 116 AD with 1 Ninja buff and 156 AD with IE also. Zed has a 25% chance to crit, combined with IE adding 150% damage to that crit he has an extra 37.5% damage on avg. With 156 AD that gives him an extra 58.5 per hit+ the 40 for the AD on the item. Giving him 98.5 extra damage per hit.

Shiv adds more Damage per hit for Zed

IE underpowered? Shiv Overpowered? Both?(my opinion) Something i'm missing?

Burst single dmg vs aoe.

Comparing apples to oranges. Both have different roles to fill.

Also shiv's dmg on a single target is 90, not 360. Using 90x4 because of the splash is bad math practice.

Lmfao wtf are you smoking.

Shiv adds 150 damage chained pre mitigation.

IE can literally turn a 400 damage crit into a 800 damage crit. My Tier 2 Dravens do 960 crits with IE. With Cursed blade + DT, over 1300 damage.....

You aren't adding the crit damage into your considerations based on their base AD.

A 200 AD champ does a base 800 damage crit with IE. Assassin does another 700 damage on top of that....

Did not read your post at all

But the answer is no.
