Is it time to change trinity force?[Spellblade discussion]

Trinity force is a flagship item for its game, and it has been around for a lot of time with just minor adjustment. Because of that, I think that it should be updated, after having set some clear goal for what this item is supposed to do. Back in season 2, I remember trinity being a good for all item that was in the suggested builds of an awful big pool of champions. With time it slowly lost popularity to the newer, better season 3 items, but then had a second wind with the Phage change and the Spellblade buff (from 150% to 200%) make it a really good item again.

However, I think that trinity is still searching for his most effective solution in filling his job and that its current form it's too much selective. As with wands from Harry Potter, and Bejelit from berserk, it's the trinity which choose it's owner. You don't scale with trinity, it's trinity that scale with you: if you have good base stats and spammable spells, you are a worthy candidate.

First of all , what trinity is supposed to do? Much depends on the people you ask this, and I think not even Riot devs have a single answer for this. However, my POV is that **trinity force is supposed to grants tanks and bruisers with baseline damage while granting them a little of useful stats such as movespeed, crit, mana , health,and AP ** The aspect that really rubs me the wrong way of spellblade is its mechanic:

SPELLBLADE: After using an ability, your next basic attack deals bonus damage equal to 200% of your base attack damage as physical damage. (2 second cooldown).

This is what makes Spellblade so "edgy" and unable to find a correct slot . Because, depending on the champion, is either a core item or total garbage, regardless of the champion role, but due to it being balanced around an average case.

HOW I WOULD CHANGE IT I think the most important aspect to preserve it's the baseline damage (stacking on your base AD) and the internal cooldown of 2 seconds , to avoid bursts from champions as Rengar or Diana. However, I'd grind down the damage from spellblade while granting that damage to a wider pool of champion , so that trinity force could be a good item for those bruisers who cannot rythmate their abilities with the internal cooldown of Triforce(Like what Udyr does), but also decreasing the damage it deals in its best case scenario.

I'd make Spellblade be applied each 2 seconds as an on-hit effect,but the buff itself could be stackable on the wearer and last 6-10 seconds, so that champions who need to "chain" their spells to get close to the enemy wouldn't end up wasting precious spellblade stacks, and champions who always have an ability available each 2 seconds wouldn't be able to costantly proc triforce for a 200% base ad damage.

Example:

Spellblade: After using an ability, you gain a stack of spellblade, making your next basic attack deal 175% of your base Attack Damage as bonus physical damage. Spellblade can be stacked up to 5 times but can only be used once every 2 seconds. Each usage of spellblade refreshes the buff duration.

Opinions and critics are well accepted ^^

EDIT: it appears that for some reason, people are assuming this is a buff to trinity force spammers such as Ez and Udyr. It actually affect them negatively, and it's a buff for those people like Malphite or others. When discussing this changes with a fellow friend amused by theory crafting, he asked what would happen if a champion like Riven would buy triforce. However, even without chance to actually testing it, we came to agree that, if a Riven player ever felt the need of a trinity force, he would most likely buy the live version than the version I suggest. Champions like Riven , or Ez, have an ability that involves little decision making and that often needs to be used as soon as it's off cooldown, combined with low cooldown. To be more accurate, Mystic Shot, as well as Riven skillset (as Udyr) it's so well tailored that you feel you can use the ability as soon as it is off cooldown.

A champion like Riven already makes the most out of trinity force, because due to her skillset and low cooldown, she will most likely use an ability in a short time window after the Triforce internal cd has elapsed.

LEt's now compare that to Sejuani, for example. Sejuani skillset is gated by cooldowns , and she cannot afford to wait for the internal cooldown of Sheen between an ability and the other. You use permafrost when you need to use permafrost, unlike an Udyr Stance, or Valor, or Mystic Shot.

In the case of Malphite (proposed by Wicked and quoted down in the discussion) we have a champion with very high base stats that can afford in a offensive/utility/defensive item such as trinity force because he already has huge defenses to begin with, and he will naturally be able to survive the fight to proc Triforce more. On the other hand , we have champions like Udyr. WHy does Udyr love triforce? BEcause due to his ability to proc spellblade as soon as the internal cd has elapsed, he can milk out so much offensive damage from it, that he can afford to go full tank and still be a serious threat when in melee range of the enemy squishier targets. For champions such as him, the number of Spellblade procs is already near it's maximum number (the ideal case with a proc each 2 seconds). Having more procs with a diminished damage wouldn't help them. On the other hand, champion such as Sejuani, or Jarvan4 , or Nautilus, would be able to tailor themselves better by having this option open with minor drawbacks (i.e. When you EQWR in a enemy team and you feel like a fool because you have to wait 6 more seconds before your next ability comes off cooldown).
