Sagee Prime, let's break down what trinity force is...

It grants high mobility, decent physical damage stats and gives spammy spell users the oppurtunuty to deal 220-260 extra dmg every time they cast one of their spells.

With the changes, it also allows you to chase and kite incredibly well, especially if there are enemy minions nearby.

So, jax wants an item which will give him maximum damage. He has BorK and gunblade already (because he doesn't know how to build jax.)

Now, can you name an item more suitable for maximum damage? Of course you can't, because jax will proc spellblade about 5 times in a single engagement, dealing at least 1000 extra damage with it.

Jax is a biased example, but let's take vayne, which is a much more controversial line of arguement.

you have IE, PD, Blade and Fromal/Warmogs already, with some treads. You honestly believe that a statikk shiv will grant more damage? obviously not. It gives 10% more AS and 10% more crit. Less move speed, no AD, no health, no rage, and no SPELLBLADE. Seeing how vayne roles every 2 seconds, spellblade is a valuable asset.

Even a BT would probably give you less. Raised eyebrows? ok, i'll explain.

Triforce - 8% movespeed

Phantom dancer - 5% movespeed and no unit collision

Therefore you can happily build a Zephyr instead of your treads because you will easily have sufficient movespeed.

100 AD, 18% LS, 25 MR & 45 Movespeed

vs.

50 AD, 80% AS, 10% crit, rage, 200% spellblade, 18% movespeed (54+)

Clearly the latter is better.

Arguement resolved.
