revert essence reaver and Essence flux passive should honestly be on an AP bruiser item
Like
Magelord's uhhh... Mageswordthingy (melee only)
- 5% magic damage increase +MR or Armor +some Hp
- cdr Essence Flux passive
I'm thinking about things like tank ekko, tank diana, tank fizz, galio, even shen or nautilus, it seems to me like champs like lucian could use a different item
Why essence reaver revert?
Because it was great, It was a niche item for longer games, it allowed for some AD+Crit itemization but was only worth it for CDR players. I used it on jayce in preseason because of the cdr involved.
The damage output of these crits wouldn't be too bad considering crit damage was heavily nerfed earlier in this season, we could use this for critweaver builds. With Essence reaver effectively removed in that regard, and with the triforce rework that took out crit, the entire critweaver playstyle is dead, but I loved it. I loved it so much. It was my best friend
I ran a transcended critweaver build in preseason
it just worked, it was fun, Sheen, crits, pen,
I miss it
rito i love you
do you love me?
health nerfed/damage buffed.
health nerfed/damage buffed/added damage amp passive.
stats nerfed/level-up passive replaced by eternity passive (which is a sustain buff on spell spammers)
Abyssal scepter lost ap then was changed into 
lost aura for stronger solo passive and gained eternity. Net loss in efficiency due to overlapping passives.
reworked into a support item from mr/ap/mp5 item for mages.
changed from tank item to mr/ap item; buff to ap bruisers.
lost 5 armor and cd increased by 30 seconds, which generally makes an armor/hp item or armor/cd item better for defensive purposes for a theoretical ap bruiser.
reworked and lost bruiser capabilities.
reworked and lost bruiser capabilities.
still able to have bruiserish builds.
better as bursty diver with current itemization and scalings.
no longer needs ap to deal damage.
post rework was changed to incentivize high ap combos/deincentivize tank Gragas.
reworked in a way that cost him agency and power offensively, defensively, and to his utility.
still built as a mage rather than you'd expect as a juggernaut because of a combination of itemization and damage equaling greater sustain. (Correct me if I'm wrong, as he's such a rare pick and I never personally played him.)
has armor scaling and can forego ap now.
can still do enough magic damage to qualify, but struggles due to modern(ized) champions being able to outshine him in every role.
one of the few remaining qualifiers. Niche though.
