I'd never suggest a Madred's as a "tank slayer", as it does magic damage, if the tank doesn't have magic resist, it's not much of a tank. Also, being talon you will have no magic pen, meaning the damage will get reduced by a lot. Plus you need the attack speed to make madreds even useful, and being a melee that means you will also have to build him tanky while he autoattacks the "tank", it's better suited for ranged who are outside the conflict. All these things make me think it's sup-par on him. Really the only use I have ever seen for madreds is late game on Kog, for the synergy, after you got better items for him. Then there is the fact that the item costs about the same ammount as a Trinity Force!
