Rageblade is cost-effective without max stacks. A simple Q + E combo will give you two stacks before your first autoattack, which is worth about 2633g or so compared to what it would cost to get the same thing from tier 1 items; it's worth nearly 4k after a couple seconds once you get it cooking.

It's is also useful for things other than teamfighting (clearing waves, pushing towers, fighting buff objectives). It's also not that hard to keep stacks going for a short time once you have high enough CDR to cycle W and E. Nashor's + some CDR from masteries gives you a pair of 10-11 second cooldowns that don't require targets.

It's nice that you came back, but against good players you will never recover from a 6-death snowball. A score of 15/9/28 is absurd. I might get that combined in three different games.
