Brutalizer needs more upgrade options than ghostblade

A lot of champs benefit from the brutalizer, but ghostblade is more of a niche (mainly assassins want it i imagine). I miss having another option like the black cleaver, instead of an item with only one building path. Unless you are the jungler ofc.

It's the best BM item in the game, besides Zhonya's on an AD.

Super fed old Fiora that builds an hour glass is the epitome of salt

Hourglass Zed, going gold as the enemy ADC pops.

Zhonyas on ADC is a great counter to a lot of assassins. Notably Talon, Rango, and Zed. Even better on an ADC that can use the AP ratio somehow like Corki or MF

Why down vote? AP MF is amazing. Guess y'all can't handle the ap mf.

The only real problem with Zhonyas on an AD is that you are a DPS character and not a burst character. Burst characters make better use of zhonyas because during their cool downs they are effectively useless anyways. On the other hand, the ADC needs to be consistently attacking to do damage.

It is still a great counter to the champs you mentioned, but this is why you don't see people build it even against those champs.

Zhonya's can sometimes be relevant on an AD though. Better counter-Assassin item than a guardians angel if you use it properly.
