V5.22: Combine cost decreased to 750 Gold from 1000 Gold Total cost increased to 3400 Gold from 3200 Gold Passive's damage dealt reduced to 6% of current health from 8% of current health

V4.10: Life steal reduced to 10% from 15%. On-hit damage increased to 8% current health from 5% current health. ACTIVE: Damage reduced to 10% maximum health from 15% maximum health. ACTIVE: Movement speed steal reduced to 25% from 30%.

Now I know the META has changed an such, but people don't even realize that does 1% more current health dmg than it did before it was buffed. At 5% current health it was still a META item and now it has 6% current health it still should be with on the rise

The active got its range buffed last season and the passive got buffed because lifesteal now applies to it. BORK is not strictly worse than it was.

if i remember correctly, the range buff was just a revert, they nerfed its range, and realised it was bad, then buffed it again.

It's a revert of a nerf from a year before the on-hit was buffed from 5% to 8%, so the fact that it's a revert isn't relevant to the conversation. Its active range is better than it was in 4.10.

The % HP damage doesn't crit and the item itself gives no crit. 6% current HP as physical damage: Rammus has 105 armor at 18 + 120 with W active. That's 225 before he builds any armor at all. He's reducing the damage to 30% effectiveness (less than 2% HP per hit) and you're killing yourself while you do it.
