So when is Mercurial Scimitar getting a price reduction

Seriously guys, 'been waiting since season 3.

The wiki says the item is only 96% gold efficient without its active. I know that Maw of Malmortius is only 92% gold efficient at base, but when you start taking damage it quickly ramps up its efficiency to a whopping 165% gold efficiency, where as Scimitar's doesn't change. Then there's dervish blade, which got its cost reduced by 300 gold in the same season it was added, making it 100.6% gold efficient without the active.

Now there the "actives": Maw of Malmortius kinda wins here because of lifeline active alone which grants a 400 magic damage shield for 5 seconds on a 90 second cooldown.

Where-as Dervish Blade and Mercurial Scimitar's actives clear ALL Debuffs (CC, Ignite, Exhaust, lots of ults, and almost all other DOTs) and grants 50% movespeed, sounds great right? Until you realize its only for 1 second, you don't have a 400 magic shield saving you from 's auto-cleavers, you don't have the potential **95 AD **, and it is ALSO on a 90 second cooldown, while maw's damage passive is always active. It essentially becomes useless against anyone with low cooldown CC or anyone with more than 1 CC ability.

I'd say its better on ranged champs than Maw but when you get caught out its better to be a little tankier than a little bit farther away, you'll just get caught again.

TL;DR, Mercurial scimitar is to expensive for how little it actually helps, seems great on paper, then you realize , , , and are items, and , , , and are champions.

Even more TL;DR, a good or + = useless active.
