I'm pretty sure if you drop the price of Guinsoo's by 800 gold it would still be mostly unused

Barring about 3 champions total it's horribly ineffective, I hope they focus on it pretty early in Season 7

It's a really weird mix of stats. Phantom Hit would make more sense on a giant IAS item ( item 1042 item 1043 item 3101 ) and the current build would make more sense on a hybrid scaling item (15+AD ratio magic damage and 15+AP ratio physical damage OnHit).

My guess is that the current incarnation exists as it is ONLY to prevent Vayne from buying it.

Right? The group of stats it provides appeals to almost no one, which sucks since I always thought it was a cool item lol. Jax Kayle are the only ones that can get a serious benefit, and more often than not even they don't build it because of how high the price is Vs. The stats you're losing out on (CD, Sustain, Tankiness, etc.)

I'm pretty sure if you did that Kayle would take over in every position.

Definitely possible, but I'd love to see the item used more regardless. Always been a personal favorite of mine, and would probably be easy to tweak Kayle over the change.

just delete it.. but DON'T ever buff it again.

i still have Nightmares of the Devourer/Rageblade times.

There was a whole list of reasons that was incredibly broken, back then it was horridly overtuned. Them not finding a happy medium for the item isn't realistic.

Actually if it was that much cheaper it would probably be picked up as an early snowball item.

A price drop of just 400 turned item 3071 from one of the worst items in the game into one of the best, and it got a -5 AD compensation nerf to go along with the cost decrease. A 800 gold decrease in rageblade would have every champ with on hits in their kit buying it.
