because lichbane actively scales while trinity force doesn't, which means you end up getting more damage out of lichbane once you build AP.

you need approximately 2.5 times base AD to breakeven against lichbane. e.g. 100 base AD = 200damage TF / while lichbane needs 250AP to total 200damage.

on that note, if either lichbane or TF works on your champion and you need to rush proc items, you're better off with TF.
