User blog comment:Hidden Sniper/Mechanics that don't make sense to me - Part 1 Lifesteal/@comment-3466579-20130716102744

Your last statement kinda worries me... "I like carries killable, and this season it seems harder to deal with fed ones." I mean, you like carries to have 500 hp, 100 ad and no armor? Sorry or the exaggeration, i just wanted to point out that your arguments seems a little too "anti-adc" to me. You didn't talk about top laners building life steal, for example. Also, do you really expect to easily deal with a fed adc? ADC = lots of damage, feeding an adc = tons of damage, tons of damage = difficulty in dealing with that champion. Nothing wrong, here.

Think it this way: and AD Carry with 1500/2000hp and ~ 50 or 60 armor and magic resist is quite squishy, isn't he/she? Life steal lets him/her sustain a bit after taking damage, e.g. after one of the several pokes lots of champions have. Using lifesteal quintessences and buying a Bloodthirster (let's say it's fully stacked) you'll have 24% life steal. I costed you 3 quintessences and 3200g to heal ~ 1/4th of the damage you deal. Where's the problem? I can't really see anything overpowered. If you buy a BotRK you'll reach quite high levels of lifesteal, but you're sacrificing a lot of damage compared to, say, and Infinity Edge. You don't see BotRK + BT very much, since it's quite an unworthy combination.

Either one adc is full build or he/she won't be able to sustain him/herself with lifesteal and low hp and armor/magic resistance.

I play a lot of supports and i can tell you that you're wrong, when you talk about them. You can easily harass and force out of lane a carry with a Bloodthirster, not to mention a mere Vampiric Scepter. It's all about which carry/support duo you're playing and which one you're facing.

This said, i agree the Blade of the Ruined King could use a little tuning, since it offers quite a lot of useful, different stats.
