Of course this is an alternative build that stacks on-hit effects, instead of maxing AP. It builds strength really fast, but does not scale so well into late-game, damage-wise. On the other had you manage to have good multiple-target damage with only 3 items, letting you go tanky with the other items. And you have good sustain thanks to BotRK.

But yes, damage-wise it's far inferior to ap-on-hit: even disregarding splash damage you have 60% AP ratio on autos. just with Nashor, LB and Cap you have around 225 on-hit damage. But with the above build you have more sustain, more defenses, the BotRK active and similar damage. The main difference is that AFTER these first items with AP you scale really well, while with this build you have to turn to a bruiser role.
