Hi! This is an example of disingenuous, alarmist, bad math. Shame on you for giving it a 96% upvote ratio, League subreddit.
- "Look at the gold efficiency I calculated without using all of the stats!"
- "Look at me comparing it to a different item with no regard for those differences!"
For reference, the item is just over 110% gold efficient at max stacks. Obviously the OP doesn't want to say that. Turns out not accounting for 5 ad (175 gold) on a cheap item is really meaningful. Who would have thought?
Armguard is also not "nearly 160% gold efficient" unless you're in the habit of rounding to the nearest 40%, which no reasonable analyst would. It's ~151%. If you had any goals other than delivering the most biased drivel possible, you'd probably say something like 150% gold efficient, but YOLO, I guess.
Jaurim's also stacks faster. 20 minions vs. 30. It's not a massive difference but it's there. It also builds into more items: Mall...
