I like your idea of the "gets charges" effect similar to Maokai´s passive or Kassadin´s Force Pulse, it would be great to see such an item one day actually :)

But I disagree on this item being unappealing, I get it on most of my tanky DS (Jarvan, Irelia, Xin) as it is very cost efficient, provides a lot of head on protection against magic damage dealers and boost your offense by a good amount.

It fades in endgame, that´s true, and it´s the main reason why people usually skip this item right away, but I rarely had games that actually lasted long enough to feel the need to sell it for an additional, stronger item (would have to be a 45-50 min + game before you had 6 items and then have to replace Hexdrinker I guess).

For a mere 1800 gold, made out of good base items it is a great item imo, giving you everything a tanky DPS could ask for in a match against nukers such as Annie, Le Blanc and thelike.
