I see how this item can be very strong on almost every champion. But the point is, is it worth buying it?

I understand BotRK is basically a BiS but do you really want it on jungle Jarvan? Are you sure you want to buy it when you're playing champions like Zed or Talon?

Isn't it kind of a waste of gold?

This item is definitely overbuffed - fact. But that doesn't mean everyone can benefit from it at its maximum. Champions like Nocturne, Warwick, Irelia, maybe Fiora and Xin, who are very AA-reliant and need AS to leech health from their targets in order not to die, can make very good use of the BotRK. But a BT is often better if you want to burst your enemies down as an assassin, a BC gives you ArPen and CDR that can help you greatly with ganks, and so on.

My opinion is that the problem here lies in the community again. Most of the kids out there want this item because they think it'll allow them to 1v2 the enemy team, no matter which champion they are playing. No one builds what the team needs - no one counterbuilds anymore.

I hope Riot nerfs this, but not to the ground. Lower the AD and the AS, make the on-hit effect dealing magic damage again, I say. With the right tunes, BotRK could be a core item on some champions, who need something like this to be fun to play again.

Peace.
