Our take
It is no longer a crit item. It loses Critical Rate and Health, and gains 20 Attack Damage and 15% Lifesteal instead, at 3200 gold, up 200.
Bloodthirster
Patch 6.3eBloodthirster
- Cost: reduced
- AD: increased
- Max HP: added
- Attack Speed: removed
- Lifeline effect: removed
- The item trades its attack speed and its safety net for raw damage and durability. A lower price alongside added AD and Max HP makes it a clear pick for sustaining through an extended fight. With the Lifeline shield gone, though, nothing catches you automatically at low health, so knowing when to disengage is back on the player.
