BotRK isn't a great item for junglers but it's an absolute top tier top laner item. AD, sustain, scaling on hit physical damage, and a slow/MSboost that nukes your enemy and heals you. BotRK allows a solo top to build tanky and still have relevant damage since BotRK scales with enemy hp.

meanwhile, Hydra is very situational. requires that you build a large amount of AD, super expensive, pushes unintentionally, and tiamet isn't as good an item as cutlass to rush.

Hydra has a niche, but on tanky dps solo tops, BotRK is far, far better.
