Or not.

I play Zed since release and me and many others already went for BotRK when it had more AD and no atk speed but had that great slow effect and the HP damage, as it may be core now many used it to counter HP stacking that was quite common those days, they went even for SotD+IE cheese strats to instagib anything lol.

It's makes me kinda angry when people say everyone that plays Zed in some way is because Faker did it, when way more people before him did the exact same builds\plays (not all plays are the same but i think there are many other good Zed players that make good plays but they aren't shown, the unseen play is the deadliest).

BotRK isn't really core, people forget Zed is also an assassin that can kill think with sheer damage with his AD ratios, with BotRK hitting double shurikens is not as good as when i go for more AD, trust me many high elo Zed players almost never but BotRK and go for Hydra+BT as major AD items besides the core BC+LW, and it works like a charm as his spells do more damage.

BotRK rushes even before brutalizer are just for the utility it gives, nerfed many times but still good, Kha'Zix has huge AD ratios as well but if you would get BotRK it wouldn't be bad in terms of utility but with more ad you would deal more damage.

Zed also has 25% bonus AD increase from buying bonus AD which makes buying AD even better!

Another reason why new BotRK atk speed is good is because Zed is an assassin who has higher Atk speed % per level which increases his autos synergy further.

Got nothin against Faker but saying he's the pioneer of the way of the Zed gets my jimmies rustled a bit.
