I don't know why people are going gaga over this item. It works well on very niche AD Carries (eg. Twitch with his ult), but apart from those champs, it is almost useless. It delivers flat magic damage, and most LoL players use MR per level glyphs. AD Carries don't even build magic penetration, so all that crazy damage? Its gonna be cut down by at least half. Kog'maw's W works because it scales with Max health, so he essentially gets damage for free. So what if it can crit? ADC's still don't build MPen, so 250 (I.E. crit) will go down to at least 150 damage. And that happens, lets say every 5 attacks? 600 Magic damage every 5 attacks. Is that really worth it when ADC's do 500-1000 damage ON EVERY AUTOATTACK.

Get over this item. Its a trap. For most ADC's anyway. Stealth champions are another matter. Maybe it'll be viable on Shaco? Well, I'm not bothered calculating all that, but to get the most gold efficiency, you would buy the avarice blade first, which does not help shaco to farm in any way. And besides, Shaco isn't a farming Jungler. His whole purpose is to gank... I could rant for days.
