There is no discussion over gold efficiency. It always was and it is a factor, just part of overall analysis. And it's just fact with some assumptions. There is nearly no questions about how to make gold efficiency better, but about g. e. itself. IMO it's like saying "no medicine anymore, because it can be wrong with something". BTW you can skip that part.

There are no arguments in my text, because there is no arguable matter. I stated only facts with little commentary. At least in math parts, my commenatry can be biased obviously.

You didn't got example with 1200s. It's not an example, that's math man, 1200 is simply least common multiple. I used it to be more clear, showing how 40% cdr gives you 66,7% more. It affects every ability in every timespan.

As mentioned - soft caps make cdr much less effective than it sounds. You can think more and you would discover, that Talon is supposed to pick and eliemiante one target, so cdr to spam abilities is not so important. But do I must to mention everything, when I want just to write about special effects of cdr as stat?

Again - like gold efficiency, that's only factor, player should process it himself. Unless you can, just go for probuilds.net and copy one of those. Or mobafire, whatever people use now :)

Finally, I found your statements just baseless, without examples, pure rhetoric without even slight proof. Try to get some.

I can give you some non-theoretical reasons:

Current popular meta for casters: 20%morellonomicon, 5% masteries, 15% scalling cdr runes.

Junglers: 10% jungle item, 5% masteries, 5% flat cdr runes + items (unfortunately jungler is poor, so he rarely can get what he wants, but many player hit high cd with Frozen Heart, Locket or something like that). Nidalee takes morello+magus, 40% cdr right off the bat.

Supports - cdr on every item.

Tanky top: 20% frozen heart and 5%masteries, sometimes 10% from spirit visage.

Players, live players found that most effective way to play. You probably don't observe meta-shifts carefully enough.
