What Not to Pair with Double Tap

Avoid Double Tap + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. Double Tap relies on frequent critical strikes to apply on-hit effects an additional time. By removing attack speed scaling, this pairing severely reduces the number of attacks you can output, wasting Double Tap's trigger potential. Avoid Double Tap + It's Critical: Double Tap already grants 25% critical strike chance. It's Critical provides an additional 50% critical strike chance. This results in 75% total critical strike chance from augments alone, often overcapping when combined with items. The gold-tier slot spent on redundant stats could be used for attack speed or on-hit damage that actually synergizes with Double Tap's effect. Avoid Double Tap + Soul Siphon: Twice Thrice makes every third basic attack apply on-hit effects at 150% effectiveness. Double Tap makes critical strikes apply on-hit effects an additional time at 100% effectiveness. These mechanics apply on-hit effects differently and do not stack multiplicatively. The payoff is marginal compared to other on-hit augments, making this a low-value pairing. Avoid Double Tap + Draw Your Sword: Draw Your Sword forces your champion to become melee, significantly reducing your attack range. Double Tap is designed for basic attack critical strike builds that benefit from safely applying on-hit effects from range. Becoming melee puts you in danger to utilize Double Tap's effect, creating a poor playstyle mismatch for most ranged marksmen.
