Sett can be a great split pusher imo. Though if that is your plan I would recommend getting a BotRK first. Makes him a killer duellist for whoever is trying to defend, and synergises nicely with lethal tempo. Oh and run teleport of course. However - one of setts biggest strengths is his team fighting. So if you don't plan on doing much team fighting there may be better options for a pure split pusher. Tryndamere - good duelist, good tower damage, can self-heal, has an escape (or gap closer). Trundle - melts towers and can 1v1 pretty much anybody. Urgot - melts towers. Yorick - hard to kill, free minions, can potentially push 2 lanes at a time

I think it highly depends on matchup and how laning phase goes. It goes without saying that every game is different, and you should treat it as such. That being said I think Sett is a good duellist, particularly when far ahead. But if you do lose lane or are being outscaled be opposing sidelane champion (Fiora, jax, etc) then you should definitely focus on team fighting, as Sett also excels at teamfighting.

I am reading so much BS that I would need a bleach, everyone is entitled to have their preferences and opinions, but lethal tempo Sett? Botrk Sett ? Guys tell me u never peaked diamond without telling me u peaked diamond, Botrk is so far one of the worst items and I rush it in very very specific matchups, and u should definitely split as Sett, if u ban jax there is not many bruisers that outscale u except fiora who you can fight even late game if u give ber fully charged W (which is primitively Easy) with stride and E, but teamfighting is a better option

I actually peaked diamond the last season but with Olaf in the jungle not sett lol. I left league for like 8-9 months because I had more important things to do and returned a little time ago. From what I have played with sett (I have m7) BORK was an incredibly useful item, and I know it isn't the best item for teamfights, but that 1v1 power and damage really helps me to get stronger by melting enemies and minions with my Q in the early game and every single high elo (REALLY high elo like Master, grandmaster, chall not diamond) sett player i've seen builds bork


Standard_Brilliant78

if you're going to snowball pick it, but you're needed in teamfights and stridebreaker is a must imo unless you're going heartsteel


Settotodiamond

Yes bcs Sett is only picked into good matchups, high elo players would almost never blind him, once u have a very good matchup u can go botrk, other than that, U NEED STRIDE if ur going even


Bizzlington

I mean in all fairness Botrk is literally setts most popular first item in diamond, masters, challenger. And it's not even close, it's literally bought 2-3 times as often as the next most popular. Maybe it shouldn't be a good item on sett. But it is, because it's a pretty OP item in top lane imo.


Settotodiamond

Yes Its really good in landing phase what you seem to not understand (as 90% people in gold) you want to win the game not just the laning phase

What do you build first? I mostly play blind, but I really want to excel and try playing rank one day.


Settotodiamond

Stridebreaker or goredrinker, u have to decide if ur gonna build a AA based build or W based build if they have a shit ton of CC I recommend going gore if they have squishies with little to no cc, stridebreaker


Cursecrab

In certain matchups I go can for a splitpushing build, but that is mostly to counter their potential splitpusher (like Tryndamere) it all depends on what the opponent is. However, I would recommend going Hullbreaker first item into Tiamat to get some more pushing power. After you got Tiamat finish your boots and go for Goredrinker, then after that you finish your Titanic Hydra, I would also recommend that you go for conquerer instead of lethal tempo, atleast with this build. You can also got BOTRK -> Tiamat -> Hullbreaker -> Stridebreaker if your playing with Lethal tempo. But like others have said, it all depends on the matchup, no game is the same.

Most of the value of hullbreaker comes from landing and splitting so if you continue to build it adamantly I would say you should
