The item is perfectly fine. It's an easy item to buy and hold onto. It's a fairly early game item that builds into four items of various uses. Ghost blade and Shiv are standard items for a Melee Carry to want. Exceutioners Calling is good if anybody ever bothered to wear it when a sustain champ is dominating a match. Atma's Impaler is really underrated as it's an off tank item. So many people who tank by buying a Warmogs or a Frozen Mallet would benefit from getting this item as it's damage gain does not cap.

At best it's an easy midway item that pays for itself by being in the hands of melee carries who wear it. At worst it's an item that isn't useful for people who don't use crit and need to farm alot while having a late game item on them (why aren't you jungling or supporting then? Even at that point this item is the only gold item that stacks with other gold items).
