I was thinking about a few items and thought I should ask the community what they think about them.

First off is Tear of the Goddess and Archangel's Staff. When is it viable on mages? Especially together with Rod of Ages. I've seen practically every Kassadin building RoA but very rarely a tear. I get that it takes a while for tear to reach a respectable power spike, but when is it worth it? A Seraph's Embrace together with RoA is extremely cost efficient.

Secondly, when should I prioratize Randuin's Omen over Sunfire Aegis and the other way around as a top laner?

And lastly, when and on who is Bloodthirster viable on now, and what about after the bonus damage increase on it?

EDIT: Just a shout out to YellOwStaR and his amazing hooks on Thresh against Copenhagen Wolves. ***** was like Madlife

I'll skip the first question. I don't play enough Tear champs to warrant when to pick AA over Athene's

Sunfire Cape is better for champs with plenty of AoE centered around themselves. Shyvana with her Burnout. Renekton with his Dominance Dr. Mundo and his Heart Zapper to name a few. You will still get Randuin's later on though in most cases.

Any AD Carry can use BT now, although there are still a few that work better with Blade of the Ruin King. Most top laners benefit more from BotRK or Ravenous Hydra because being in melee range makes the Blood shield a mute point, as they will take damage before getting the shield

When should I buy a BT then? It's certainly not as good to rush anymore. Would it be good to get a vamp scepter into an IE early?

I think BT is pretty decent as a fourth/fifth item on champions who don't scale well with BotRK but otherwise you should probably avoid it.

Imo all of them build BORK


Caitlyn could go Bloodthirster though if she doesn't need the peel from bork

ADCs should still rush BT.

I don't think there's currently a single ADC that rushes BT.
