Could we maybe work Chalice into something elses build path?

"Chalice is the go-to pick for champions who can easily clear waves, leading to a non-interactive lane phase as they spam their skills to keep the minions fighting at a safe distance. The new Chalice is still oriented at lane sustain, but in a way that encourages taking the occasional risk. If your health dips, Chalice will switch to healing you back up, ensuring you’ve got access to whichever regen effect you need most to dig your heels in for the long haul.

As a quick point of differentiation: while the new Catalyst rewards champions while they fight, Chalice lets them stay in lane after trades, making it ideal for champions who fall on the more ‘opportunistic’ side of the spectrum."

From the patch notes.

While I'll certainly miss the strong mana regen passive, the new chalice seems like an alright item. Unfortunately, it will ONLY build into two support items after Athemes changes, which at 40 AP is unlikely to get taken on even mid laners who can use the blood charges. The item would be nice to pick up on mid laners who DO like to "dig their heels in" if it built into anything remotely useful to a mid lane carry (, and in particular come to mind, though the thought of cho having more sustain might trigger some people haha)
