The only offensive power you lose from MBR to this item is the bonus AS and the % damage based on maximum hp to current hp. To compensate you get massive amounts of sustain with all the life steal and an item active which gives you an effective 5th damaging and minor CC ability to your champion. And due to it's price you can get it a lot faster than MBR (close to 60 cs or 4 champion kills faster).
