So, let's talk about Rageblade (+sum spells)

item 3124 This is an item that is built on fewer champions than Zephyr was. It's hardly worth building on any melee champion because it's much more risky to stack it, and the payoff is rarely worthwhile (phantom hit isn't that powerful on a fair majority of champions, with the only people that really want it being Irelia, Kayle, Yi, Vayne and Jax now.) It's an item that's stronger on ranged champions because they can safely stack it without getting up in the opponent's face, and it stacks just as fast as melee (one stack per hit, instead of 2 stacks for melee). This item is a problem, because it's one of the most expensive items in the game with no reason to buy it. I say revert it. Phantom Hit was a cool idea in the jungle, where on-hit champions primarily go so they can scale in to late-game better, and it was used more often because it was the cheap attack speed jungle item.

Zephyr was chosen for removal (much like Revive and Clairvoyance) because a severe minority of the playerbase actually utilized the item (and summoner spells). I'm worried that item 3124 is next in line for deletion alongside item 3056 due to how little the item is used. Which is why I recommend a revert on the item. Revert Rageblade.

Also, bring back Clairvoyance. It was a useful summoner spell.

I remember when it was old Guinsoo, nobody ever used that item. Then Riot decides to make a broken item for 2700 gold and it was too good. Now when this item is changed we barely see champions like Xin, Yi, Tryndamere spammed in ranked. I really liked old guinsoo because that item was made to shred tanks and those super annoying champions.

With guinsoo reworked tanks are dominating now and now some old champions are too strong. I think it was a perfect item made for melee champions it order to counter tanks.

Don't worry they brought item 3123 and pre-rework KogMaw back, there is still hope for old item 3124 and Zephyr to come back

EDIT: also soloq

I don't like it how i build it from attack speed item and then lose the attack speed stat. Pretty much same thing with Sword of Divine

at the end like every other item it will belong to museum - too hard to balance ^^

and they say Yi players abuse the item but the way I lose attack speed I you need to stack it I am already out of Wuju buff. I don't see the point even getting it

Even on jax it is a meh item since you can only really buy it when your already ahead and even then there are more efficient buys.

item 3363 was meant to replace CV, it's just more healthy for the game than CV was.
