this item was amazing on zed even before the buff, zeds ult scales with all damage done during the duration, that 15%max hp nuke is now an additional 7.5% as physical damage post mitigation at level 16.

the thing that made this item much stronger then what it was before has very little to do with  the actual 1% damage on hit buff but more to do with the active and the attack speed buff that it received. attack speed is a premium stat that doesnt come easy, i absolutly love the fact that riot is trying to make attack speed items that aren't shiv or PD viable for ADCs that start without crit oriented builds. but adding attack speed onto this item without increasing its cost made it incredibly gold effeicent even without its active or passive.

the problem then lies in the fact that its overly effecient for what it does, without the passive its overly effecient. this item gives you much better stats for gold then anything else, it costs less then BT and is built out of cheaper parts, meaning you dont HAVE to farm to 1550 for your bf sword, you can get a cutlass for 1400 have better sustain and an active slow and then converting that cutlass into this item means you add attack speed into your build get an amazing active (that doesn't require you to build AD) and steal movespeed.
