Your clearly getting the message wrong. Items gives stats and passives. Stats are the most important. In this case, they are nearly equal. Then you look at the passives. In my opinion, the new bloodthirster shield is weaker then valor is able to use the splash from hydra.

In my post, I am comparing two items. You only think hydra is melee only instantly not worth it! Thats not what I mean.

And quinn is actualy the only marksmen (or you say jayce is one too) that can use this item 100%. Sure not all the time, but the splash and active work realy well with valor's (not quinn's) playstyle.
