Thoughts on Marksmen (Essence Reaver, Mercurial Scimitar, Zephyr)

Hi guys,

Here is my general thoughts on items for marksmen.

Riot designers are implementing new heavy gold/ late game items like Essence Reaver or New BT, but what i dont understand is that; Atm markmen items are divided like this: Power spike items (shiv, yoummuu, triforce, bork) #Zap Standard Mid game items (IE, Last whisper, new BT, PD) #Minigun Late game oriented items (Manamune,Essence Reaver, Mercurial Scimitar) . #RocketLauncher

What im asking is why every defensive ad items are built up with negatron cloak?

Why Essence Reaver who should be a power spike item doesnt have (chalice or forbidden idol) + (pick axe or vamp scepter) as recipe? Essence Reaver: Forbidden idol+ Vamp scepter+ 950g = 2450g Essence Reaver: Chalice+ Pick Axe+ 695g = 2450g We should consider Essence Reaver like Morellonomicon?

Why Mercurial build isnt like Zhonyas? BF=Large rod but chalice=qss, Does 20 Magic resist is worth 670 gold?

Im just confused about Magic resist vs Attack Damage on gold worth, and why ForbiddenIdol or Chalice isnt used to solve mana issues for Marksmen or Melees.

In my mind, Reaver recipe should be a early to mid game item with chalice or forbidden idol and cheaper so no BF in it.

Also, Scimitar should not be this much expensive compared to GA, we should reconsider the fact that negatron is not a good building items? Marksmen have already good late game scaling items (ie,last whisper), if you want reaver to work make it in shiv and youmuu price range. Don't make Reaver like a Bork without active. Marksmen should be affected by their building choices, like shiv>pd? , Bt>ie?, Crit build> lifesteal build> Blue build?

Anyways i feel like the Marksmen items has a lot of depth and interesting but some are just weird. If any rioter could answer this i'd be pleased. Sorry if i made any grammar mistakes, EU scrub here.
