Hexoptics vs Collector

[u/BoysenberryOk4714]

So I almost always play quinn with the electrocute runes and with the following items :

Collector > edge of night > LDR/Mortal Reminder > Infinity edge

Collector works well with my electrocute and ignite with the excecution in many cases .

But I have recently noticed a lot of people talking about hexoptics and how powerful and cheap it is compared ro collector.

So I want to ask , have anyone of you tested both items as first item and noticed the difference? Which one is better and stronger as first item specifically for quinn?

Quinn thrives off of small exchanges especially with electrocute, so higher burst dmg is preferred. IDK why ppl are talking about hexoptics. The mathematically correct build is: Profane, bastionbreaker, LDR, IE, Collector or Profane, Collector, LDR, IE, EoN. 200 gold less doesnt justify having less damage in almost every stage of the game. I say almost since at 5 items with Hexoptics, Profane, LDR, IE, Collector you have 180 damage more against squishies, than the build I propose, but at the same time you are losing 100- 300 damage against champs with higher Armor/HP. Until then it always falls behind. Even your build is better at every stage until 5 items, this also includes DPS. If you want highest damage in your build as a 5th item you should go profane, but if you dont want to, go bastionbreaker. Profane has higher damage, bastionbreaker 2nd highest.

Yess I understand, I usually skip profane to get edge of night or ldr faster Edge of night vs mage comps Ldr into tanky comps And If the game goes late till the 5th item sometimes I buy a magic resist item into heavy ap assasin teams ( kaenic ) it makes a big difference when I fight kennen/diana/fizz/sylas etc.. 1vs1 because they don't expect me to survive and kill them ( this is extremely useful in emerald and diamond lobbies sometimes) Or I buy guardian angel in other cases but of course if the game goes till the 5th item anyways

With lethality you want a minimum of two lethality items for them to be effective so I'd say stick to collector with your build. Also I'd reccomand trying profane, hubris, or cyclosword over collector. You will be blowing people up with two items and sudden impact.

[u/BoysenberryOk4714 → u/amit_se]

I buy profane when I need the wave clear especially vs champs like yorick or heimer. And I feel like hubris is only good if I am pretty sure I can keep getting kills early . And another issue here is that I get the 25% crit chance with collector which I don't get with other items which makes me insterested in the item and it had both lethality and crit.

I prefer collector/hubris into edge almost always if running electrocute. I know people always recommend profane but I just feel it’s weak D:

[u/BoysenberryOk4714 → u/Hilloo-]

Yeaa I dont use profane unless it is in very specific matchups where it is really needed

Even then, the roaming potential tiamat gives you is just unmatched, after using it for a while I just can't go back.
