So I tried the new item on Pantheon.
And I have to say, I like it. I've always been annoyed on what to build for 
since it seems best to build one or two damage items then tanky. But the damage items that are usually best to build were 
(which while nice, didn't feel great since I tend to build 
and 
for CDR) and 
.
But 
feels right on . I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything after I build it, making me not feel annoyed to build tanky (because usually ends up being built tanky for the late game).
If such an item means less on 
, then I'm all for it. Assassins always seemed to utilize bruiser items enough to make them more durable than a lot of people would like (They are suppose to be squishy after all) so more assassin centric items that the class can be balanced around seems right.
I'm probably going to hate fighting against assassins with this item. But hopefully it'll be less than the hatred I feel to assassins with .
or 
. That being extremely squishy, but also extremely lethal. The Bruiser items were extremely annoying to deal with (CDR, APen, and HP), and I like the direction Riot is going overall even if it makes them more lethal.
