I even think attack speed is wasted until you have enough AD. If you build AS, then:


 * with pow-pow: you add something she already has to her build. She has 1.55 AS with level 5 Q.

(Warning: Math incoming)

At level 18, she has 1.55 AS and 104 AD. To double her AD, she needs 104 extra AD, which is equal to 2080 gold (with 20 gold/AD). To double her AS, she needs 248% extra AS (not considering the cap), which equals 7440 AS. Both options double her damage output.

For AS to become cost effective, she needs 7440g/(20g/AD) = 372 AD.

(PS the underlying math is about deriving functions, but the doubling rule works in a lot of LoL cases, or just everywhere where f(x) = c*x)


 * with fishbones: congratulations. You're insanely fast out of mana. If you double your AS (which means you just bought 118%AS) you're oom twice as fast as when you just bought 104 AD.
