So... Guinsoo's Rageblade still exists btw.
Any plans on buffing it or anything to make it viable? The only champion who can even make slight use of it right now is hybrid
and even he doesn't use it to great effect when he could be building Nashor's or more AP.
Can we make it cost more and have better stats? Even with the passive fully stacked it's still outclassed by items that are simply much more powerful such as Gunblade and Deathcap, simply because it's so cheap it can never hold out in the lategame. I'm not saying it's bad in itself, it can be gold efficient (when stacked fully), but it's just so awkward. To use it you have to be in combat for several seconds and be close to death. In theory the best builds to use this would be tankier builds that can survive and put it to use. Most people building even slightly off tank would not consider building this item. Tbh Wit's End is even better on Jax than this is.
EDIT: Okay yes, a few other champions such as Kayle and Poppy can use it somewhat well. That's not the point of this thread. Just because a champion might build it once every 500 games doesn't mean it's in an okay state. It's an item that depends on other items in order to work (due to the 8 stacks and <50% hp necessary for it to work) and yet has bad lategame value. It would be a very viable item if it costed closer to 3200 gold and gave higher statistics.
and
. Both of these items have something more unique that you can't replace with other items (the AP scaling on hit for nashor's and the ap scaling active with huge slow for gunblade, although you can argue that it's pretty close to
and this item itself usually loses the comparison.)
's passive is just a better version of this.

When talking about awkward items nobody can use - Kayle can use it. 100% chance.
can make pretty good use of it as well.
makes good use of it. I always build it on him. Add in some more life steal and a sated devourer, and he never dies.
into the build and up the price accordingly.
