On Which Champions Is Bloodthirster Better Than...

There are certain champions whose abilities scale hard with AD, meaning that The Bloodthirster is actually more of a solid option than I-Edge simply because you'll be autoattacking less and ability spamming more, and the 20 extra base AD from BT is sometimes preferable, even though you lose out on autoattack DPS.

Sivir is a prime example, her Boomerang Blade scaling off AD and her Ricochet not scaling off of critical hits. Many Sivir never get I-Edge but just stack Bloodthirsters.

Pantheon is another example, choosing to focus on early game dominance with his Heartseeker and his Spear Shot, meaning that BT is SOMETIMES more desirable than I-Edge.

Ezreal occasionally forgoes IE for BT as well.

With the buff to IE, which champions would you still consider getting The Bloodthirster on as the primary DPS item and skipping Infinity Edge completely?

Any champion that uses almost no auto-attacks.

A champion like Ezreal or Corki, who focus primarily on burst damage from skills, are champions I'll start considering I-edge on. Other champions like Renekton, who are purely reliant on skills, I will still be building the Bloodthirster.

@VoiD not Garen, his E and R both proc spell vamp not life steal. You aren't going to be doing much auto attacking.

Pantheon, Sivir, Renekton.

Hell on Pantheon, I get 3 Bloodthristers.

Retreating?! Hell no, we're just attacking the other direction!

Benefit way more from Gunblade than BT. Sivir also has way more use of Gunblade.

Warwick.

Caitlyn.

Urgot.

BT is kinda **** on WW. Caitlyn needs IE more than BT and Urgot doesn't need it that much because lifesteal is almost useless on him. Physical casters that build AD also scale terribly in lategame because BT doesn't bring all that much to the table compared to other items. Pantheon is a physical caster too.

Pretty much this, but I'd consider Gunblade on both of them since they have abilities that scale with AP too.

Funny thing with physical casters like Urgot and Pantheon is that their abilities work with spell vamp. So 1 Gunblade is not that bad a choice. At least on Urgot.

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L
