already got nerfed, if I remember correctly, the item really isn't the issue. The problem is just that synergizes with it so well, but his kit is really cohesive and simple, so Rito can't just knock out a piece of him to make Rageblade less symbiotic with him without reworking him entirely. Knocking down a bit of the AP scaling on and making it take longer for him to stack up his attack speed (with an appropriate buff at max stacks) were a good direction. Attack speed stacking slower and taking away a bit of his free on-hit damage (which both scaled so well with the stacks on Rageblade) were some decent ways to take away his synergy with Guinsoo's that didn't involve an overhaul nor massive nerf to any part of his kit.
