Wait... Maw is getting BUFFED?

?????????????? This puts a procced maw at 5096 gold of stats vs magic damage, for someone with no mr runes or items, or anything else. That makes it 157% gold efficient.

For those who haven't seen the change, they are swapping 5 AD for 5 MR, swapping the 10 Armor Pen for 10% CDR, and giving it a free +20 AD when it procs, cause why not right, the item is broken already might as well make it more broken. It used to have 4601 gold in stats when it procced, which was obscene enough (141% efficiency, which goes up with every additional bonus MR, which it scales off of both linearly and multiplicatively) but I guess not, since they are massively buffing it.

Why?

Its meant for bruisers now. Assassin's aren't as likely to build it since the buildpath on it has changed a bit (I believe it now builds from Hexdrinker and Warhammer)

That said, would like to see less AD, maybe some health (somewhat decent AD plus the passive would still make it somewhat attractive to assassins anyway, even if they only get hexdrinker); the goal should be to shove them away from this item (which is geared to surviving burst rotations) and into Edge of Night (which is made to play around those rotations)
