Remove Guinsoo's Rageblade

Or better yet, just remove Guinsoo's. Its the main core of their problems. They weren't OP until Guinsoo's was reworked. Sure, they were toxic when they got fed and sated at 20 minutes and just autoattacked you to death with just BotRK and tank but at least they didn't burst you in three hits. Even Yi with his passive and true damage and passive AD and ultimate AS and MS and slow resistance took more than enough time to CC him down and kill him before he killed you.

Now I know what you're all saying, "They can't remove an item!" Mhm. Mhm. Yeah sure they can't, just like they couldn't remove DFG, or Sword of the Occult, or Zephyr, even though SotO and Zephyr weren't even broken, they were just useless. They removed DFG because it was broken and couldn't be balanced without being useless. What does that remind me of? Oh yeah, Guinsoo's.

First it was absolute crap, pretty much since the beginning of the game so far as I've heard. Maybe it was viable early but after awhile it basically did nothing and only Jax ever bought it and he barely used it. Suddenly they buff it and tweak it a bit and now every auto-attacking champ is getting it, including people who don't even need the AP like Master Yi or Shyvana.

I don't buy it on shyv and still kill people ;-). Shyvanna isn't that strong if you don't give her kills. I think sated makes much more troubles than guin. And shyvana got nerfed as well as Udyr. Jax is sitll up there though I'm not sure now. Shyv is just a champion which either does great or is terribly useless so if yo uare unlucky to be in games where she does great it's not exactly the problem with her as a whole. She provides no CC ( well her dragon jump does but it's not a good CC so you cna forget it anyway ;-)) so the moment she is not fed she gives nothing to the team because the only thing she can do is attack. Udyr got hit pretty hard in recent patches, items he builds got nerfed, he himself got nerfed too.

You forgot to add Xin to the list of sated malignant cancers.

Shyvana and Udyr don't even build it, lol, wtf. Udyr doesn't even build devourer.

Udyr built it, then built Runeglaive when it came out, and now interchanges. Shyvana still builds it about as much as BotRK, and even if she doesn't there's still several champions that abuse Guinsoo's while nobody else builds it.

The item isn't very good on Shyvana at all. You would be better off with a phantom dancer to be honest. She barely uses any AP from items except for her e (which is more of a proc than for dealing damage) and initial contact on her ultimate.
