I don't understand Riot's desire to keep Essence Flare/Awakened Dragon in this game
It's simply just not a fun passive to play against. On ER, it was abused by champs like Riven, Jax, and Renekton; champs that are already a struggle to play against. And when ER got reverted I was relieved. So why in gods name did Riot decide to put the same passive on an item that is arguably even better for those aforementioned champs to abuse? Now they get attack damage, CDR, AND 250 hp. You literally just made the item better for them to abuse by giving them more survivability while being able to spam their abilities at an ungodly rate while I just have to sit there and take it.
I know it doesn't make these champs unbeatable by any means and hell I won't even go so far as to say it's broken or anything. But holy fuck does it make it unfun as hell to play against the champions that use this item.
