^^ Yeah, why the FUCK would a champion with only 1 damaging ability outside of his ult, who often builds crit, who has a passive and active AD boost, who has a speed boost and on-hit effect to deal damage and slow EVER want to autoattack. I must be retarded, that ability to hit faster is so useless ON A FUCKING AUTOATTACKING CHAMPION. zzz.

^ Ehh, I guess. The thing is, that's total damage, and that's assuming it can bounce the max number of times. The old Ionic spark did 4 * 125 = 500 damage every four hits guaranteed, but they removed that for being too niche, simply because it's unlikely it'll bounce the max number of times, and even if it did, minor damage on enemies you're not hitting isn't a huge this to consider.

It's possible it'll be useful if it charges REALLY quickly, but to be honest from what I've heard it takes 10 AA while standing still to charge and it takes 2000 distance to fully charge (for reference, that's running for 4 seconds for gangplank, assuming he has 500 MS (rather high, but Gangplank is rather fast)).

In summery, it's a good poke item, seeing as it can proc on every parrrley you use assuming no CDR and constant movement, but the instant you enter a full on fight, you may be wishing you got something different, seeing as it's a lot of gold for what basically amounts to a PD.

That said, at least it has a somewhat useful niche, unlike PD, which just is generally noob on GP. Also, avarice blade is a component, and as we all know, Jewplank is bestplank.
