Just this change so GLP isn't trash anymore, since it's more a battle-mage item, and Protobelt is more of an assassin item

People would actually build this item... Even 
doesn't build it anymore
wildfox991 voteswe're talking about riot games,i dubt they will ever revert
anyway in its current state it only needs better scalings on its active and some mages could pick it,it gets outshined by 
but with this little buff it could comeback on some APs (skillshot based mages)
would be far better with 20% CDR or at least 20 more AP (ofc raising the cost a bit)
atm it's not slot efficient

Imo it's the fact that it gives no hp, it kinda replaced 
in some mages build, now it just feels clunky to build (as you said, a worst ) and the active requires you to be in close range to apply a slow.
on the other hand gives a small dash, mostly used on champions like 
who are actually mobile (yes I even build it on 
) and is intended to add burst damage, hence doesn't need the HP, but more AP and more CDR (as you said once again)
wildfox991 votes having HP it's fine,you need to get close for using its active as damage and after the dash you'll be even closer to them,for doing so you need to take some risk so bonus HP are welcome
the only problem it's that even though it's cheap its stats sucks (60AP 10% CDR 300HP) raising its price to 2900 but adding 10% CDR and 10 AP could make it way more useful (and assassins would have their 20% CDR item)
