Talk:Sanguine Blade/@comment-6301771-20130321054533

I don't get why people bitch about Sanguine Blade so much. It's perfectly functional. It grants a lot of AD and lifesteal for a low cost. It Synergizes well with Blade of the Ruined King for a grand total of 35% lifesteal. If you're building a heavy dps character, this item provides. If you already have a good attack speed or can keep up its stacks on minions, this item provides. If you keep comparing it to the Bloodthirster, you'll notice that the BT can lose its stacks on death, and takes significantly longer to fill up, while this item easily reaches its full potential at all times.

In addition, it's in a different gamemode with a different meta to consider. It fills a similar role. If it was supposed to just be the same as the Bloodthirster, they would've just put the Bloodthirster in TT.
