User blog comment:Emptylord/Class Reworks - Itemization Follow-up/@comment-28280538-20160512201236

Honestly I have to say I would hate the Gublade rework as part of it's identity as an item is that it is a hybrid item that offers both the ad and ap along with omnivore. Removing the ad part of it completely changes the item too much. I can understand how some people don't like the removal of spell vamp and I honestly agree with them, but destroying an item's identity as what it is is not the way to go with this.

Another reason why this is a bad change is cause all your doing is changing Gunblade into Will of the Ancients. And I am pretty sure that unless you were playing a gimmick build, vladimir was the only champion who would build into it.

Also, without this item, Akali would be in a really bad spot. She needs the omnivore with the hybrid-ness of her kit. If you would change this, then she would be basically swept under the rug. And that is not a good idea to do to any champion.

overall, I think that would be an interesting changes.
