Zeke's Herald Combine cost is too high.

It's a great item on Utility Tanks like Leona and Braum. It has good stats (+250 HP and +20% CDR) and a very appealing Aura (+10% Lifesteal and +20 AD). It has a very low pick rate with a very high win rate (60-70%).

I think the combine cost, however, needs to be a tad lower for it to become more popular. Perhaps, say, a 25/50% decrease.

Vampiric Sceptre on it's own is a waste on Supports so the recipe is (or at least feels) more like Kindlegem (850g) + 1600g. That's about ~5-10 minutes of no power increase beyond the power gained from champion levels.

Either the recipe needs to change, or the combine cost needs to because (while the completed item is quite gold efficient), spending 800g on a useless stat and then having to wait for another 800g is pretty ridiculous.

I think the recipe should be more along the lines of:

(850g) + (400g) + (400g) + 800g.

And then make it so that you don't get the AD or Lifesteal from the Aura, your teammates do get the Aura, and you instead get an additional 200 HP.
