Rabadon's change will just make people buy it even less
5% increase in ability power and costing 200 less gold is nice, but the issue is the build path
Old Build Path:
+
+
+ 1265 Gold
New Build Path:
+
+ 1100 Gold
Having to build TWO needlessly large rods is excessive, as you have to save up 1250 gold in order to even think of working towards building it, further cementing it as a VERY late game item, or an option when you are incredibly fed, making it even more worthless to mages
Proposed Change:
+
+
+ 1065 Gold
This makes it easy to buy parts building up rabadons, while also befitting from the decreased cost of the item
