User blog:Centuriarch/Different ADC build.

Greetings! So, everyone knows a basic ranged ADC build right? BT/BotrK-> PD/Shiv->IE->LW->GA/Scimitar/Banshee's. Some people may argue that a Runaan's fits in there somewhere, but its debatable. This build is aimed at giving the highest sustain DPS possible in a champion, fast, high damage AAs to shred towers, and enemy teams alike, and it works.

But what about another build? Straight AD and a Runaan's? Runaan's acts like a free normal crit on every auto. Adding 50% AD on two bolts, meaning over all 100% AD to an auto attack right? Its redistributed so single target damage is lower, and IE won't really impact you.

Maybe something like: BT->BC->LW->Runaan's->IE (or another BT)

But since you don't need to focus itemization on a purely crit chance items, you can expand your build to include overally higher AD, from the build alone you get 260 AD from the straight AD build, while crit gets you only 210. not including base AD stats (Around 110 average), the Runaan's build gets you 540 overall damage per auto, while crit gives you 525. Factoring in base AD stats, crit single damage per auto is higher, however, that build is more expensive, purely single target, and only gets one arpen item. Plus it only gives 60-70% AS, which the full AD build grants you 90% attack speed. Its not to hard to notice the pure AD build can match the crit build in overall DPS, possibly being higher due to more attacks, and arpen.
