BoRK nerf from Yi main perspective

First reaction was slight apprehension about it being a Yi nerf, since BoRk is a very core item on him.

But, if it is nerfed to the point where it is not the best item every game, that would make Yi's build paths much more interesting. The current PBE nerf doesn't quite do that -- I'd suggest reducing lifesteal to 10%, and reducing attack damage by 10. Then it would be an anti-health item, not the always-buy item it is now. And if some compensation buff can be given to its core users, great. For Yi... 2 AD? Or .4 AD/level? Those would keep power level about the same, while making build path more situational, rather than the current "always BoRK"!

As an ex-vayne main, I hate having an OP BOTRK exist. It locks you in. I don't like having a locked build path, even if it's an ADC. It's kinda fun just to have a different build path once in awhile. I make Deaths dance + PD versus bursty teams, Statik+RFC vs non bursty. Statik is way more fun on Vayne than BOTRK ever was. You get a lot of hilarious double/triple/baron steals/dragon steals with statik proc pokes.

Botrk is the only lifesteal item I can realistically fit in Trundle's build. The other items are too expensive and take far too long to complete.
