Yes and No. Basically whoever got to lane first with bloodthirster usually dominated as it gave extra stats due to it's op passive. However, since they buffed attack speed you're essentially attacking more and lifestealing more. Also to note, since they added lifesteal to doran blade, you'll see more ppl stacking doran blade for the lifesteal and rushing more attack speed/damage instead of going the standard bloodthirster.

On a side note, all advanced ad items built off of bf sword are now balanced as it gives the same ad stats but differ in price as they offer unique passive.
