Quicksilver Sash + Mercurial Scimitar: Some thoughts

This item, in theory should be very good. It removes: Fizz Ult, Malz Ult, Zed mark, Morde Ult, Poppy's Ult, Morg's Ult, Skarner's Ult, Urgot's Ult, Vlad's Ult, Warwick's Ult, TF reveal, Leblanc Chains, Zilean Bomb, Nocturne Fear + blindness, Diana Moonlight, Darius bleed, and ALL OTHER FORMS OF CC. Why wouldnt this be a consistent buy on all ADC's?

Here's why, the active is valued at 650 gold (650 on QSS, 150 on MS, obviously there's a benefit to finishing the build). Its on a 90 second cooldown. Why would you get a debuff remover on a 90 second cooldown when you can just come back to life on a 5 minute cooldown, or an item that gives more MR and Health plus a spell shield every 40 seconds. Given that Mercurial Scimitar only removes the debuffs upon activation, Banshee's is much better. You dont even have to press a button, and if you get caught out by a WW, Zed, Malz, Diana, LB, TF, Nocturne, or Fizz you wont even take one of their abilities. How can it be better? Here are some of my thoughts. I know it will probs never happen and it will continue to be a bad choice of defensive items, but just some speculation.

Well one, reduce the cost of QSS to 1000 gold, change the build path of MS to be QSS + Null Magic Mantle + BF sword +700 gold. Reduce the Attack Damage to 65 damage, and up the MR to 45. Heres another option. Instead of a Null Magic Mantle, make it a Dagger and add 20% attack speed to the item. Or when the active is activated, give also an additional 15% attack speed per debuf removed. Or lower the Cooldown of the active to 70 seconds.

Just some thoughts.

It gives no additional stats except AD, ergo it is an unattractive early buy on adc's. Also, Crucible on the support.

for Quicksilver Sash I agree about reduced price... or any increased MR stat idea...

maybe raise MR to 35 (and maybe reduce price to between 1000-1200)?

now about Mercurial Scimitar... I prefer have the price back to 3800, MR raised to 50, and MS boost from active is 2 seconds instead of 1...

QSS (between 1000-1200) + BF Sword (1550) + Longsword (360) + Combine Cost between 690-890 (Adjust to QSS) = 3800

But if it's an attractive buy, ADCs would buy it every time there is a Zed.
