Are You Guys Gonna Make Rageblade worth it Again... Ever?

Like, it was good for half of season 6 then you changed it so it's one of the most expensive items in the game. On top of that, it's so unreliable since a whopping 6 auto attacks to get the boost. I'm no scientist, but you basically only made this change because Yi abused Sated Devourer. Now no one even wants to buy it, because it's just not worth it.

Word on the grapevine is that thei're adding 25% attack speed to it's stats next patch. Donno 'bout you but as a Kayle main, I love that buff. It's not to meager and it's not too overbearing. It's just perfect to make it a reasonable buy.

Phantom Hit broke more than just Yi, it's an ability that's just too powerful when built on certain champs.

The reason it's still in the game is because they attached it to Rageblade, and changed Rageblade so that in order to buy it:

  1. You have to be a champion that scales with both AD and AP.
  2. You have to auto attack a lot.
  3. You have to have the tools to survive long enough in a fight to stack it.
  4. You have to have some kind of on-hit.

That narrows the entire champion roster down to Jax Kayle XinZhao MasterYi and Teemo (And they only build it 25% of the time or less). Other users that only build it less than 3% of the time are Vayne Tryndamere Udyr TwistedFate and Warwick.

That's quite a group we have there; considering more than half of those aren't played much right now for various reasons, some like Vayne have much more viable build paths that don't involve Rageblade, and ones like Warwick that Riot have left underpowered because they're getting a rework soon(ish).

Phantom Hit is an OP ability, but it's not being abused because the item they attached it to is so niche it could me removed from the game tomorrow and hardly anyone would notice it was gone. If Rageblade were to see buffs, the Phantom Hit passive would have to go, lest we risk returning to a sated devourer-like meta that most people hated.

Last I heard, +25% AS on Guinsoos and BOTRK is getting bumped to 8% from 6%.
