A lot of people say that 4% of current health makes it bad. First of all, unlike Madred's, all of that stats works perfectly with ad bruisers, most of which don't need or already have atkspd. Second, it has an active that's slows and gives you mvmtspd and deals a decent amount of damage. Third, it's actually not that expensive. 2900 gold compared to 3800 for Madred's. Even though Madred's has 4% max health, Blade of the Ruined King also steals life from that % AND has lifesteal on top of that. Finally, 4% current over a laning period can add up to a lot of damage. Additionally, unlike Madred's, you can actually get this during laning phase and not be behind in gold or be burdened with useless stats.
