How to Fix Fervor of Battle?

So, the changes to Fervor have seen it completely shoot in a different direction. Now marksmen don't touch it and juggernauts get all of their sweet sweet AD from it.

Is this a good thing? Should marksmen champions be forced into a more defensively oriented keystone like Warlord's because they already deal enough damage at max build? Or is Fervor better for them because it gives them more aggressive power in the early game?

How do we fix Fervor? The simple truth is that most of the marksmen champions don't get a whole lot of use out of raw AD. Plenty of their abilities have low or no AD ratios, and with less armor penetration in the game early Warlords can feel like it wins out in extended trades even with a fully stacked Fervor (especially when you take both supports and careful positioning into account).

Any thoughts on the matter?

I think they're going in the right direction with it - lowering the stacks while increasing the damage per stack means it won't take you 10 seconds to fully stack by which time the fight has already ended.

Also I thought CoC was by far more popular on top laners currently. The only top laner I feel can really use it is Fiora because a fully stack fervor gives you an extra 2% true damage on your passive.

I know Illaoi can't proc CoC at all and I thought Darius was using Fervor more than CoC now.

Prior to changes I always picked Fervor as lucian...but now the extra 20AD isnt really worth the keystone...I usually role thunderlords now on lucian...better burst with my combos..fits my play style.
