Reaver is an amazingly good item and I'm so glad Riot made an item to fill the sort of niche champions like Sivir need. On the other hand, it's SO PAINFUL to build into it unless you're facerolling. Champions like Jayce, Ezreal, Udyr? Yeah, sure. Sivir, Poppy, GP (especially now that Bankplank is kill)? Not so much.

There just needs to be SOMETHING in Reaver's recipe to pad out the wait time for Reaver's effect. Buying a mana regen item (even a basic one) only to sell it off later isn't all that enticing...
