That is true, but it is also true that when increases his number of meeps as the game drags on, he gets higher  to compensate. It's strange how it works, the most important time to have is early-game, but thats when his ratios are weakest. The best time to get utility is late-game, but that's when his ratios are strongest. That is something that always boggled my mind in Season 5, but has now given  a significant  ratio that he didn't have before. That said, is a lot more viable now.

Getting both and  is admittedly overkill when there could be different utility included instead--very rarely do champions not require extra utility. I actually think is a perfect item for Utility, as it gives him a stronger reason to build  due to the  synergy--the fourth.
