Can we bring back a tweaked runeglaive?

Hey there! As the title suggests, I really miss runeglaive and what it would do for my girl . However, nobody misses what it would do for this Boi .

My idea is to bring back runeglaive with the same build and stats as it was in 5.13:

ABILITY POWER : 50
COOLDOWN REDUCTION : 10%
MANA : 200

But with some tweaks to the Spellblade passive:

UNIQUE PASSIVE : Spellblade - After using an ability, the next basic attack deals 100% Base Attack Damage (+0.3 ability power) bonus magic damage on hit in a point blank Area-of-Effect around your champion.

As you can see, the meat of the change is that the AOE happens around yourself instead of your attack target, similar to a tiamat active. I think this would be a good way to reimplement this item for jungle champions that want it, while also softly locking out the abuse case named Ezreal.

Thoughts?

Might as well rework Lich bane into Runeglaive instead. It's been feeling pretty dead compared to all the other mage items.

eh your version of the item would only be good on dianna and eve, not even batte mages with short range like swain and vlad could pick this up.

I would prefer something like : UNIQUE PASSIVE : Spellblade- After using an ability, the next basic attack against a champion or monster Marks them for 2-3 seconds causing them to take X% increased damage from your next spell and remove the debuff. And just give it the same cooldown as sheen.

So long as they make it so ez cant mark and use the extra damage in 1 q since his q's are a spell and an auto it should be fine for dianna and other battle mages or regular mages so long as they are willing to walk into auto attack range

Rune glaive was abused by alot more than ezreal, all it did was give ap ezreal wave clear and cause his Q to proc on spell effects like ryalis/ludens. but since the change in runes reforged ezreal Q now procs on spell effects. so there wouldnt be much change in him having it again other than his Q would be fully magic damage and that it would proc small aoe around it to help clear minions, without purple smite he would still lack proper wave clear, and it would basically be a weaker lich bane.

or just make it melee only

no fiddlesticks or karthus would realistically ever want it over runic echoes

I don't like it, mainly since it only benefits Eve and DIana, it also features much less AP than the current versin which is what AP junglers require to be effective. Hell, it was pretty stupid in design back when it was 60 AP with only the luden echo effect; where as the AD variant offered a neat little 10% CDR and also affecting autos!
