Actually, in a full skill rotation Trinity loses, because there's no way people will wait 2 sec between each of your skills. The Ultimate scales harder with AD than AS, so BT boosts it more.

Trinity certainly is a strong item, but it has its own drawbacks. One of them is that the pieces its built out of aren't that powerful by themselves, as they barely give anything crucial for Lucian, and it takes a while to build the whole item.

Another Drawback would be that while Trinity gives you many stats, it doesn't supply you with certain stats that are really important for him; namely, CDR and ArPen. Also, the AD are rather lackluster; which means, you'll delay those stats since you're pretty much going to build a BT first or second anyway.

Granted, the MS and rage are nice; but Zephyr and Furor provide the same. Admittedly, they do so at a later point in the game, but they are also cheaper ( and provide more MS/AS btw)

Trinity is only stronger than other items if you build it relatively early; however, early on, a BT is pretty much better due to better parts, and later on you want other stuff (ArPen and CDR and more AD). It's strong if you build it relatively early, but weakens your lategame and (if you rush it) also your early game until you complete it.
