I'm trying to learn ADC, and I really like item 3153 as an item. What champions can use the item well? I don't mind peculiar builds (I've seen a Lucian built as a tank buster with item 3153), but I don't want to play Vayne or Kalista.

Who are some ADCs that can use Bork well?

**Champions who are highly dependent on basic attacks ** Kog'Maw, Teemo, etc. Champions with an attack speed steroids Graves tristana Champions that autoattack and deal True Damage Vayne Twitch is also a strong item choice for champions that deal percent health damage on autoattack, KogMaw, Kalista and Vayne **It also useful for any champion that has some of on-hit effect on their basic attacks **

Basically

Kog'maw, Teemo, Graves, Tristana, Vayne, Twitch, Kalista. Lucian, Miss fortune, Corki, and ezreal

Core: Twitch, Kog'maw, Ezreal.

Situationally: Basically any aa-reliant adc, when they have a hp-stacking tank or bruiser: Ex: Lucian, Jinx, Tristiana, Ashe, Sivir, etc.

On those champs, if they don't have an hp stacking tank or bruiser who you need the active for, BT is better.

Generally, ADc's that need it for dueling. I'd say Vayne, Kalista and Twitch are the only ones that benefit from it more than usual

Overall all of them can use it well. Works best on ADCs that heavily focus on basic attacks. ADCs that get a lot from AD scaling use BT. Both are interchangeable on all ADCs in the right situation though.

I too prefer it on Varus for the mobility and the fact he has no on demand steroids. So the extra AS is nice for getting those W stacks. But his current meta form is to be picked for poking over sustained damage. Honestly a poor ADC pick right now sadly. Since he's weak to being picked off.

Ashe Caitlyn Jinx Kalista KogMaw Lucian Sivir Twitch Varus Vayne

can all rush BotRK well. Some are better served with some crit but...

ADCs with high base attack speed or or who do on hit effects. Champs who have crit modifiers in there kit, or who have particularly low base attack speed, dont do as well with botrk. Examples of champs who do really well:Lucian TwitchVayne Examples of champs who benefit more from other itemsVarusJinx Caitlyn Keep in mind, botrk has awesome stats and a great passive, so its going to feel good on any adc, even if it isnt the best choice.

Can't play Vayne without it, but I reallyyyyy like it on Sivir. She's short ranged and it helps her duel pretty well with spell shield/ulti. I would not rush bork on her, IE/Boots/Shiv or PD is probably more important but as a 3rd item instead of blood thirster, she can be very powerful. She gets bonus attack speed when ricochet is active so she works with the item really well.

You aren't running away from on the hunt sivir after she's used bork active, you're fighting her or dying.

Any ADC can run it but some get less form it then others. The main ADC that want an early BotRK are Kalista KogMaw Lucian Twitch Vayne as they are more dependent upon using their AA versus other adc that have abilities that scale very well with extra AD.

Vayne Kalista would benefit the most

Caitlyn doesn't benefit from it much early game as compared to getting it later since her Q requires her to get more dmg fast

Personally, i like it on Varus because the active gives him some mobility and the passive gives you a second type of percent hp damage. Apparently no one in plat+ builds it over bloodthirster so maybe it's not a good item for him.

Anyone of them can use it well, most just have more efficient build paths.
