I really would love a comeback of Atma's Impaler (or an item based on a similar concept)...

...is any developer thinking of something like that?

Now, this for me is enough. If you are interested, I did a (humble!) suggestion in that sense on EUW boards:

http://boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/suggestions-bug-reports-en/Aq4nhso1-suggestion-atmas-impaler-rework

That is:

Atma's Impaler

Builds from Brutalizer (1337) Recurve Bow (1110) Chain vest (750) Recipe (813) [Total 4000]

Stats +50% attack speed +40 armor Passive -15% cooldown reduction UNIQUE: Basic attacks deal 2% of OWNER'S max HP as physical damage on-hit. UNIQUE: Basic attacks steal 5 armor of the target for 5 seconds (stacks up to 5 times).

Usability of this item: a bruiser which somehow relies on AA (like Vi Gnar Malphite Irelia Skarner Shyvana and maybe more that I forgot to mention) can build this item to be more of a threat (even more after building some HP with other items) and also get a decent amount of armor/CDR from it. Also, could be a decent second damage item after Sated Devourer.

Notice that:

  • It would be a new build path for Brutalizer
  • It would be a new 15% CDR item

so basically an armor version of Wit's end that costs a lot?

I am just not feeling this item givne the really high cost.

Now if you were to make it Brutalizer + chain vest + 763g = Atma's Impailer (2850g) 30AD 50 armor Unique passive: armor pen 10 15% CDR Unique passive: +1% max health added as AD Then I could see it being somewhat realistic in some cases but it would be core on some champs like Riven.

This would remove AA importance and would be more an item for tanky AD scaling casters. It would be a completely different item (not saying it's a bad idea). I repeat, I'm not suggesting another Riven item, that's the last champion I was thinking about.

first unique should be instead adds 1% of max hp as attack dmg second unique passive should be deleted and be replaced with 10 armor pen keep the price and then id accept it as a realistic item

Ok. I'll tell my opinion on what you said, of course it's just my opinion:

first unique should be instead adds 1% of max hp as attack dmg

This would be too strong in my opinion. Attack damage can crit and adds to some ability scaling. Maybe the reduction will make it viable, but making such a unique passive for just 30-40 AD seems like a joke. Anyways, the item - as I intended - is for bruisers which make good use of AA, it's not a new Riven item.

second unique passive should be deleted and be replaced with 10 armor pen

This seems pretty equivalent, but removing the peculiarity.

well riven wouldnt benefit a lot shed at most have 2k hp if not less on the other hand i get what you mean so perhaps like add x dmg on hit would be better but not max hp% dmg sion would be broken then

and yes its equivalent in a sense but i like simple armor pen better

Yeah Sion would be crazy in late game with such an item... but this could be the time he comes back into the meta. We're still talking of very late game, and the on-hit shouldn't give additional life steal as far as I remember.

Pentakill after an enemy ace? I like it! XD

BUMP - The "Titanic Hydra" is out on PBE... I guess for the on-hit part I should be satisfied if the change comes live ^^

If it does, I can't wait to try Malphite with item 3710 + Titanic Hydra or with item 3025 + Sterak's Gage.
