Essense Reaver rework confirmed

>Meddler >Essence Reaver we'll almost certainly change come preseason, still figuring out how however.

So the Essense Reaver is finally getting a rework. I'm glad.

Since its release players knew what its biggest problem was: mana issues tend to be a laning phase thing. There's also the problem of who is supposed to buy it? Mana hungry ADCs want manamune. Most ADCs think BT is better because of the better sustain. AD casters might consider it, but the CDR is a bit low. Manaless AD champs might want it for the CDR, but the mana passive turns them off.

Options to fix ER include changing the build path only, changing its intended users and then fixing its stats for that group. So I'm going to list some of the options they have for it, feel free to add your own.

Keeping the item the same... mostly. I'd prefer riot go this route.

1. Add forbidden idol to the build path, no other changes. It has early CDR and mana, complaints about lacking early mana fixed.
2. Drop the vamp scepter and bring back spirit stone in some form. Spirit Stone used to give you both health and mana, which is what the finished version
3. Add a sheen to the build path. This puts it into TF range in terms of cost, but you get a ton of new stats and a spellblade passive.
4. Pickax + vamp scepter + forbidden idol, same final stats. This is like option one, but makes it easier to afford.

Focus it on ADCs (I think a lot of ADCs would like it pushed in this route)

5. + = a IE alternative, your crits will be weaker, but you get healed health and mana when you crit in return. All the stats an ADC wants as well. Not sure if Riot would be this bold.
6. + = focus this for champs that scale on AD and AS, maybe give it an on hit passive that restores health and mana.
7. + + = ADCs want crit so drop the CDR for crit and keep the rest of the stuff the same.
8. Change its name to The sword of epic badassery. No, I'm not letting that idea go. I want a sword that blows stuff up. Mr Torgue would approve.
9. + + = ADCs might pick this over BT if ER gives them AS as well, drop the CDR from it though.

Focus it on AD casters (I think they should get a new item just for them and not a reworked ER).

10. If brutalizer's armor pen is too much, riot may need to add an item that gives AD and cdr. Add the new item to the BF sword and give something that has 80 AD, 20% cdr, and maybe life steal or mana return on hit if you can work it in.
11. + = your empowered AAs reduce the CD on your spells in addition to bonus damage.
12. Like ten, but drop the bf sword for a brutalizer, lower the AD in return for the added armor pen.

Let's not change ER, let's change...

13. Keep ER the same, but give a new item or two that synergize with it. Let's assume ER is fine. Maybe it needs some items that work with it or around it better.
14. Tweak some AD champs so they kind of want this item. I think ADCs are still too same-y when it comes to builds. They need to be pushed into different directions more. Maybe make the poke ADCs who don't want to spam spells get this.
