^ Hydra is still better than BT because of the interaction with her animations, you get more damage in a shorter period of time. And it's also a superior splitpush and farming item. BT is pretty weak right now, the shield is meh and the damage/LS isn't nearly as good as it used to be at max stacks.

If they do end up using the +10% bonus AD passive that appeared on PBE for a couple of days it's gonna be worth to buy BT again, possibly OP even due to the synergy with the bonus AD on ult pushing her to over 400 AD values late game even with a defensive item (GA). Until then it's kinda pointless because it's no longer a snowball item and you're better off with Brutalizer -> Hydra -> LW.
