The new Zypher is a great idea, take it a step further
For those unaware, Riot is kicking around the idea of turning Wit's End and Madred's Bloodrazor into component MR/OnHit and Ar/OnHit items that build into Zypher. Pretty solid choice for a tanky auto-attacker. But I feel like we could go a bit further with this idea.
The proposed builds for Wits/Madred's are
and

. They then build into the new Zypher. Now, I've always* said the biggest failing of tank OnHit item builds is that there just isn't enough support for them. It's why abominations like Phantom Hit have to exist, it is required to give OnHit builds a late game.
But if we expanded this new Zepher idea a bit? Make two alternative build paths that incorporate Recurve Bow into the mix. The Wit's Recurve upgrade could regain the magic resist shredding. The Madred's upgrade could get its old %HP magic damage OnHit effect.
With three solid OnHit/AS/Tanky items to choose from, I suspect OnHit focused champs could hit a solid late game stride without Phantom Hit warping OnHit builds as a whole. Rageblade could be turned back into the Hybrid item it's supposed to be rather than a perennial sore spot in game balance.
Thoughts?
