I miss the old Essence Reaver. It had such a unique synergy with Draven. The new one is very good, but it's not as good as the old essence reaver for Draven in particular.

The old ER gave mana based on damage dealt, whereas the new on gives non-scaling mana every time you crit. Since Draven tends to condense the most damage into the fewest attacks, this is nerf for him, as he will have fewer chances to proc the mana regen just by merit of not scaling off attack speed as well as other carries.

The lifesteal was also killer on Draven. All he has now is BT and Death's Dance. DD seems pretty good, but the life restore grants virtually nothing over straight lifesteal on him, and BT is really painful to build.

On top of it all, ER is now a crit item, and Draven, due to getting a huge chunk of his damage from his non-crit scaling Q, doesn't benefit from crit stacking as much as many other carries.
