Comparing these two items is like comparing a 2 ton bomb to a depth charge. Sure one is more destructive than the other, but they are used in mutually exclusive situations.

BTorch does more damage, but its extremely more expensive and its passive needs time to recharge... in a game mode where time is very valuable, more than the kills itself.

Liandry's is much better in price. can deal much more damage when its needed most. it doesn't require charging, and it also works on minions and monsters. Including the Soft CC damage bonus, Liandry will continue to burn more damage than Btorch until a champion falls under 35% HP. this means that 65% of the time Liandry will do more damage.

Both items help you win fights, but Liandry's tips the scales in your favor much sooner. If an enemy is so weak where Btorch would do more damage, then 90% of the time you already won the engagement and don't really need the burn.
