Preseason: Can we give crit marksmen a DPS alternative to Stormrazor's Burst?

I feel like there is a void for such an item for champs like Ashe Jinx Xayah Sivir Twitch. Yes, item 3095 can work on a lot of them, but as a marksmen player that item doesn't appeal to me much. If I wanted to burst from range, I'd just play a mage. I feel like the early game marksmen fantasy for more dps centered marksmen should be ramping damage and let the more AD heavy ones enjoy storm razor like Draven Jhin.

All the item needs to do is give more AS than AD, and reward users for getting off as many auto attacks as possible. It could be a item 3124 variant that ramps up attack speed and gives crit chance once you stack it up. It could give bonus damage based on missing hp, it doesn't matter as long as it is a dps item.

Stormrazor should be removed completely from the game after the cheaper crit itemization that was done to help adc's. Stormrazor had been a band-aid added before that to help them which they no longer need.

Moreover, it unfairly favors certain adc's AND gets abused by 1-shot burst champs like rengar who were never meant to have crit in their kit. It is a highly unhealthy item for the game at this point for everyone.

I mean... Blade of the ruined king is the alternative.

Stormrazor is supposed to be the item for "hit and run" types ala MF, Draven, Jhin, and Cait. The problem is just that the item works too well on everyone. Why bother with Essence reaver or BotRK when you can just go Razor and afk win lane trades?

Stormrazer doesn't just burst it increases your dps via the attack speed steroid.

mages do burst damage with AP and adc does burst damage with AD (with some exceptions to both). i seriously do not get why people think item 3095 is absolute garbage when it is the only thing keeping adc alive (both literally and figuratively)

The Boards will be probably disappointed when on preseason Rito wont delete or gut StormRazor.

Nice, it works as intended.
