"The extra 25 AD and 6% lifesteal on BT have a combined gold value of 1164g. Against single targets, Ravenous Hydra's active is the equivalent of an extra autoattack every 10 seconds (assuming you land the ability at point-blank range). Spread over its cooldown and factoring in the AD it gives, this is about the equivalent of 7.5 bonus AD."

That's impossible! How can math and analyzing damage beat Ravenous Hydra's cool particles and blindly following LCS popularity? I mean, I saw Faker build this a couple times on Riven it must be absolutely core in every instance since it looks cool when I AA.
