User blog comment:GimmeStarfoxWii/Malz or Syndra? Which Purple Burster is for me?/@comment-8802138-20130727182900/@comment-5556439-20130729081403

Her % damage, while it does grow if you build her as more of a carry, oesnt really warrant building damage over defense.

The difference between ya know, 10% of someones current/missing HP and 20% current/missing is really not worth the gold when you could be hitting 3.5k HP and tons of defense with maybe a utility item thrown in to help your team WHILE still hitting like a truck. I understand it sounds tempting to build her DMG but honestly, she doesnt instagib ANYONE and the targets that she would be jumping have to play incredibly stupid to get caught out by her before and even during a fight. When the fight does start, what do you think shes going to do? Rappel up and nuke a squishy, so anyone with half a brain can instantly react to that and there goes ALL of that gold you put into her lackluster scales because you got stunlocked or just peeled off.

I dont understand why even professional players sometimes build straight damage on her, its idiotic.
