This kind of reminds me of when Frozen Mallet was changed so that it no longer builds out of Phage. Now it only builds into Trinity Force, (and Entropy, although that isn't available on the Rift.)

And then there are the other items that also build into TriForce, Sheen and Zeal. Zeal can build into a Phantom Dancer or a Statikk Shiv, either of which can often be found on most ADCs. Sheen builds into Iceborn Gauntlet or Lich Bane, both being useful pickups, the former being useful for its utility and the latter being useful for stronger burst.

There isn't much going for Phage in terms of build variety right now. As soon as you see it in an inventory you know that they will get a TriForce at some point.

Although I would like to see a new item build from Phage, it provides HP/AD + MS on-hit. Those are some odd stats to have on an item all at once. I have no idea how an alternative upgrade can be made for an item with those stats.
