I just thought of this.

When you said you died easily, red flags went up in my head.

Your own argument might actually prove me right here because if you got focused, it probably means that the enemy team considered you a bigger threat.

My theory is that you were performing better and just didn't realize it, and that's why you got melted. It sounds to me like you're used to your build and misjudged the capabilities of mine.

I'd like to add, though, that just because you got focused doesn't necessarily mean you were performing better. I understand that, but that's the only logical assumption I can make based on what you said, because it's a mathematical impossibility for your build to survive better than mine - unless mine is a bigger threat and gets focused.

And because you underestimated and misjudged the capabilities of the build, when you got focused, you didn't know how to react and melted. If this is the case, then your build only survives better because you're not being focused, ergo, you are less of a threat and not doing as much damage as you think you are.

It's also a mathematical impossibility for that 24 AD and 30% crit to do enough damage to compensate for the build's lack of defense in the face of armor/magic penetration.

If you haven't done the math, then you can't know for sure if what you do is optimal. But I do, and I can tell you, your build is not optimal.

You're also not using controlled models, so the best you can do is form an opinion. And by and large, it really comes down to opinion and the situation you're in. But there are certain advantages that my build has over yours, whereas your build has no significant advantages over mine.
