out of...112 games? I think my hyperbole is warranted.

out of curiosity, was Randuin's gotten in those game? It seems to crop up every game, at least 1 on each team, often more. Late game, it's not rare to see 3.

It seems we agree: http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/gentleman-gustaf/24087-an-in-depth-look-at-adc-builds

:p the 3 games isn't the important part, it's that randuin's just gives you way more than Frozen Mallet.

They both give you a permanent slow, they both give you health.

Randuin's gives you armor and an active that reduces movement speed AND attack speed.

Frozen Mallet gives you...30 AD

I'll up it over time; I didn't want to overload my computer and have FPS issues.

It also said in the article, and I quote, 'When you get BotRK, you're getting it for the passive and active, the AS just comes along for the ride.' End quote.

Although I should have added 'also for the lifesteal'

5% current health averages out to 2.5% of max health; 5% at max health and 0% at dead.

it is not THAT  bad... am not buyin it for darius, but it's one of better items for shyvana (pretty good one), fiora(god i hate her... or she is totally useless or she is most fed fuck u ever see doing pentakills with ult) and olaf (back when i was playing him...)...

But still it should be tweaked a bit... riot wants to make aa champs viable, but only reliable item for sticking to someone is garbage... it just needs some serious reduction for range champs... (when i am thinking about it again, winzao with boosted FM... gods sake leave it as it is...:D)

You just listed 3 champs NOBODY plays anymore (Shyvana/Fiora/Olaf)

I think that has more to do with Xin needing a bit of a love-tap nerf than anything.

Objektion about the boots: I laned as Renekton against a Garen (usually a hardcounter). My start Item was boots and i won. Why? Because i was faster than him and so able to avoid most damage from his E. Due to my speed i was able to completely dictate the fights. But yes, they are bad in most cases.

Avoiding the E probably isn't due to boots, with all the speed boost/slow reduction Garen has, and with the double-dash renekton has...

Objektion about building AS on Carries: At least Vayne wants the AS too since she has a AD Steroid and the Silver bolts.

sort of, but there's also tumble at level 5 by then.

Objektion about Frozen Mallet: Depending on your Lane Matchup, and more importantly the whole team composition it might come in handy in quite a few times. Randuins is on a 60 second cooldown, but when you are the fastest on the map you can slow down enemys for slower teammembers to kill. But it shouldnt be rushed.

Find me 3 LCS games where somebody got Frozen Mallet. 3 might be a bit low, since there have been a lot of games. Randuin's procs when you get attacked, it makes you WAY tankier, and the active lasts SO long, not to mention the fact that Randuin's has AS slows as well.

So as always: Never say never, everything has its uses, even when they are little.

This is a great tip.
