Hello !
So I have a very serious question for all the assassin players out there. Why are there still among you, people who go collector. The main champions I am referring to when asking this are Kha’zix/ Qyiana/ Zed/ Talon/ Naafiri/ Pyke and their close brethren Nocturne/Pantheon/Jayce ( Pantheon shouldn’t build lethality beyond Eclipse and Nocturne shouldn’t even build lethality in general but thats my opinion) . I am tempted to excuse Rengar but probably its not worth even on him to go Collector.
I do not understand exactly what drives you to think Collector is a good buy for you. I present you the stats:
Collector: +55 attack damage+18 Lethality (11.2 − 18 (based on level) armor penetration) +20% critical strike chance. And the funny execute passive.
Now I present the alternatives:
Prowler’s Claw: +55 attack damage/ +15 ability haste/ +18 Lethality (11.2 − 18 (based on level) armor penetration). And UNIQUE – SANDSTRIKE: Using a dash, lunge or blink, or exiting from stealth, causes your next basic attack against a champion within 3 seconds to deal ( 85 / 65) (+ (55% / 35%) bonus AD) bonus physical damage on-hit and slow the target by 99% for 0.5 seconds (5 (begins after using the empowered attack) second cooldown).
Axiom Arc: +55 attack damage+25 ability haste+18 Lethality (11.2 − 18 (based on level) armor penetration). And UNIQUE – FLUX: Scoring a 📷 takedown against an enemy champion within 3 seconds of damaging them refunds 10% (+ 0.4% per 1 Lethality) of your ultimate ability’s total cooldown.
Tell me when an Assassin values 20% Crit chance over Ability haste and those passives. I really do not understand what makes people think Collector is such a good 2nd buy instead of those items for assassins.
Not saying Collector is a horrible item, but I just dont see how it ever fits better than one of those two in any assassin build.
