Ornn's Upgrades: Let's Guesstimate the Stats!

According to Blake Smith - "They have increased stats from the base version of the item. Support items cost 500g, others cost 1000g to upgrade"

For my guess for the upgrade would just be stats. It would be too complicated (and difficult to balance) if the upgrade affected the speed and armor reduction passives of the item. And adding CDR would screw up too many builds and could easily make the upgrade useless. Therefore...

Ornn's Black Cleaver: 400 HP -> 500 HP 40 AD -> 55 AD

+100 HP = 266.7 gold +15 AD = 525 gold 791.7/1000g cost = 79% efficiency

His late game will be insane just because he can upgrade 1 item for each of his 4 teammates giving them more stats than the other team. This champion looks like a balancing nightmare.

Rabadon's 120 AP -> 140 AP 35% bonus AP to 50% bonus

I wish there were more items for mages besides Rabadons.

Rabadon's already takes forever to build. I'd want at least 25 bonus flat ap for 1000 gold and maybe they won't finagle with the bonus % ratio.

Honestly it really depends how gold efficient they want to increase the gold cap. For IE, it will probably be around +25 ad since a pickaxe costs 875

I could see that. Only stat upping would be so boring though!

I wish it was more of an unique effect, such as increasing the cap stacks on the % shred for BC (8 x 4% instead of 6 x 4% for example), increasing the crit multiplier on IE, Sunfire tickling a bit faster, etc
