^Tested it. As a Bloodthirster is actually cheaper, and more rewarding AD and lifesteal wise, I don't see why should it get exchanged in favor of the Hydra, plus, the latter neither gives AS or Crit chance, I don't feel that it is that useful neither as a BT replacement nor as a last item. To be honest, if not gimmicky, it just feels like an AD caster luxury item. For the time being, I'm not going to build it on a carry until any further proof of how much useful can it be is proven.

On the other hand, Statikk keeps surprising me. Not only for the crit magic damage, but it also gets multiplied by your crit multiplier, so with Infinity Edge and Lethality, it can reach up to 260 magic damage, even more with crit damage runes, although I don't like those. Plus, with the new Avarice Blade mechanism, it's almost a free item when you reach the late game.

But as I said, we're not even in season 3, in fact, we're in the pre-season, there's a lot of time left to find which one is more useful.
