Talk:Attack speed/@comment-5878487-20140917064657

Fun fact(a.k.a. random useless numbers that should probably be on the runes page but are here instead because it made sense when I started typing this):

Attack speed marks and quints have significantly higher gold value than flat ad(51 vs 34.2 for marks and 135 vs 81 for quints). However, in order to gain more dps from basic attacks at lv1 with attack speed than with attack damage, a champion would need 53.125 attack damage(if they have no bonus attack speed). Adding(or, rather, dividing) in max rank of the flurry and warlord masteries increases this to 70.875 attack damage at level 1. Subtracting out the ad obtainable from items and masteries at lv1(15.2775, from a long sword, martial mastery, and the lv1 value of max rank brute force modified by the +5% bonus ad from warlord)results in ~55.5975 ad needed from internal(champion-specific) sources. So, ignoring champions who deal most of their damage with abilities and/or have innate bonus attack speed which would offset the runes, the only champions who would benefit from them are Warwick(starting e), Malphite(starting w), Poppy(starting w or e), Irelia, Dr. Mundo(starting e), Hecarim, Cho'Gath(starting e), Tryndamere, Aatrox(with an empty blood well or w toggled to price), Trundle(starting e), Rengar(starting w or e), Master Yi, Fiora(starting w), Nocturne(starting q), Fizz(starting w-ad fizz, anyone?), Vayne(starting w), Xin Zhao(starting q), Vi(starting w and attacking an enemy with more than 409.749 max hp) and possibly Satan starting e, but flat ap would increase his damage more than either attack speed or attack damage(the optimal setup would be attack speed marks, flat ap quints, and flat ap glyphs, but I guess it must be adc teemo since he has 3 points in warlord). While that looks like a fairly long list, most of those champions either won't buy a longsword or will start with a different skill; there are only 4 that actually should use attack speed runes. Bonus calculation: this comment has too many sets of parentheses(21(now 22(soon to be infinite if I keep doing this(does the MLA approve of putting parentheses inside each other, or am I supposed to close each set before I start a new one?(now 25(I give up)))))).

P.S.: I'm still going to get a full page of AS runes, just to troll with obnoxiously loud attack sound effects. #punsofdamage
