My favourite bel'veth player (not me), Bad Apple, has dropped a new banger: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/Bad%20Apple-2nd

It's Kraken, omnivamp boots, botrk, then stridebreaker. Going 2 damage items first takes advantage of the extremely underpriced and soon to be nerfed omnivamp boots because the more damage you do the more you heal.

Rune page he goes sixth sense and treasure hunter now. When I think about, relentless hunter isn't as valuable this season because of jungle quest which already gives movespeed, cashback doesn't help you snowball and take over as it's a scaling rune, so while I think they're both strong options treasure hunter may have the slight edge for bel'veth.

Sixth sense instead of sudden impact was confusing to me because who doesn't like free damage until I tried it, this is a godsend if you like invading because if you wait in your redside river bush at start of the game, it will TELL YOU if they warded for your raptors -> invade. If they did, you can just do your redside (raptors into red in krugs), base for longsword, and invade their redside because you will know they no longer have a ward. I think sudden impact may suffer from the same bug (or feature) from your passive that makes ignite deal 75% damage, if that's the case there is even more reason not to take it. Just give it a try if you like invading. I've also found value where if I'm doing my wolves I can see if they warded over blue wall, then I'll know they did my blue (or are doing it) without checking. It has a large radius.

Anyway I've been running this setup that I haven't seen anyone else in the korea or NA leaderboard try yet and it feels really nice, and might only work for one patch until boots nerfed, so give it a try! I love this guys innovations.

I think obviously standard will still be best by far if you seriously want to climb, I still wanted to discuss these interesting changes, are these items any fun. I got bored of kraken stride for 3 years straight.

Statikk Shiv has two new passive's, the first making your on hits AOE is terrible for stacking your ult and it goes to the last target hit in the chain (often the furthest from you), HOWEVER, the second makes it reset on basic attacks, and bel'veth is the fastest attacker in the game. Sadly the flat damage looks too low. I saw a clip of it where your E can apply statik multiple times. https://youtu.be/_ezHHxTOebQ?t=86 This looks stupid with kata R btw...

Voltaic is just a broken item for this patch, I think it's broken enough to be ok on bel. The interesting new passive interaction is it makes your spells prock energized attacks, so your W does the storm razor move speed and damage, adding more burst and allowing you to go crit, I'll definitely try this. A moment of silence for old voltaic which was amazing on bel in urf.

Hail of blades is really frustrating because it makes your E do double damage but only if you use it at the start of your combo, and the domination tree sucks! But getting 5 autos at double attack speed is pretty bursty.
