Two Years Later and Phase Rush is Still Bad

It's the disappointing successor of Stormraider's Surge. It is mainly used by only Vladimir and Ryze. I'm endorsing for it to be more viable on immobile melee champions like Darius, Nasus , and Mordekaiser .

The similarities:

They both give 75% slow resistance and both lasted 3 seconds.

The differences:

Phase requires 3 basic attacks or abilities on enemy champions within 3 seconds to proc. Stormraider's required the user to deal 30% of an enemy champions health within 2.5 seconds to proc. In some situations, it became easier to proc, but with Stormraider's, Nasus could proc it with only one Q after a certain amount of stacks. Now he always has to use a combination of 3 attacks and spells.

Phase gives 25%-40% movement speed based on level and Stormraider's gave a 40% at all levels. Phase is less impactful until level 18.

Phase is a 15 SECOND COOLDOWN to Stormraider's 10 SECOND COOLDOWN. THIS. This is what needs to be reverted. At least only for melee champions. Getting kited for 12 seconds waiting for Phase to come up is what makes it not too useful for immobile melee champions.

Now you might say that Phase Rush is good just not better than Conqueror. Well that is part of the problem, and thankfully its getting changed back to be a bit closer to Fervor of Battle, which hopefully it eventually just gets fully reverted. Nasus didn't use Fervor because he didn't really need the AD since his damage came from stacking. So now a change like this to Phase Rush could open it up to fighters like him.
