"fairly easy answer". Proceeds to right dissertation. XD.

But yah, I think I didn't quite explain my position. I'm 100% for Catalyst of Aeons. I agree with the usefulness, and you gave a really good breakdown of why it's useful.

The argument I'm making is that prioritizing finishing an item built with it shouldn't really be a priority, and that its usefullness on it's on is plenty enough.

The eternity on the finished items isn't much better, and not many champs, including ryze, will be spamming enough abilities to get the extra health returned from the "improved" eternity.

The Rod of Ages takes an extra 1650 to finish, and then another 10 minutes to get fully stacked, so if you ever fall behind, that 10 minute wait for a simple stacking item to fully rev up can be "too long of a wait" when investments could have been made toward finishing another item with multiple usefulness(E.G. Banshee's). I can get that raw damage from something else, something that will give me more than just damage.

Among the finished items, the only 1 that seems any good in my opinion would be the Hextech, because when finished, you dont have to wait for it to rev up, and as you've mentioned, it offers a source of burst that can truly affect any engage or teamfight. But again, still doesn't seem like a must for an early finish.
