thats not true. crunch the numbers: even without the crit, atmas is costefficent as soon as your champ has more than approx 2.2k health. Obviously any big item is really cost efficent but if you get minor benefits out of crit and have like 3k + health while being able to scale off of ad its not bad

Thing is, often you opt for "real" tankitems when opting for armor since sunfire, randuins, thornmail are just so good right now.

At 2.2k hp it gives 33 AD in addition to 45 armor and 15 critical strike

Value breakdown:

45 armor =~ approximately worth 725 gold worth of stats ( Chain Vest + rough estimate of 5 armor value)

15 crit = 730 gold worth of stats ( Cloak of Agility)

33 AD = 1275 gold(1 Pickaxe at 875g and one Long Sword at 400 gold)


Add it all up and it's 2730 gold worth of stats. That's being really lenient (in favor of Atma's Impaler as far as stats, so it could be worth between like 2600-2700 as far as stats.) But it's a really niche item because not every bruiser utilizes crit well, few do imo. Not only that but you also have to gage item slot worth. Is it worth an item slot? probably not. Plus, there are better items to rush than Atma's and just because the item is efficient doesn't mean it's worth it
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

* Atma's Impaler is gold efficient if the champion has at least 1083 health.

Nothing wrong with the cost efficiency at all, but it just doesn't fit many champions other than Sion and... uhmm... no-one else I believe xD.

The big problem is the crit part. For most bruisers, crit is pretty much a wasted stat, meaning that the cost effectiveness drops with 730g. To get that 730g back, you must have a total health of 2.3k, as mentioned before.

Even then, the item is just worth the exact cost of the item. Most other items of that cost are more worth than they cost, making them much more cost effective. Atma's would still be a "not-so-good" option.

If you are playing a champion like Garen or Sion, then the crit value is useful, so atma's is a legit option. All other bruisers however, I would not even consider it.

Atmas is forgotten but good on Tryn and even a few other bruisers like Lee Sin and Riven when the enemy is super AD heavy like AD top mid and jungle kind of games.

no one really gets it anymore because the armor items all have their purposes (sunfire for splitpushing + damage in engages, randuins for carry shutdown, GA for revive, etc), whereas atma's has crit, which bruisers dont use, and added AD, which hardly makes a difference.

No reason to buy it.

I would use it on Garen, and that's about it. And that's AFTER I've gotten Warmog's Armor, Black Cleaver, Randuin's Omen/ Sunfire Aegis or Frozen Mallet. Then I'd pick up probably Atma's Impaler, followed by the item I didn't get.

I have a five-item build. Boots are too situational to write down, but they would be considered there.
