The issue with a Flay-like effect is that it could risk creating overlap with ("my autoattacks scale with AP now"). One way to address this would be to give the empowered autoattack its own cooldown, during which it would be completely disabled, but that probably wouldn't solve the issue of champions like abusing it for extra guaranteed damage.

The way I see it, while Lich Bane might have issues, I think the biggest problem right now is with champions designed to abuse it, Fizz being the biggest culprit (his Q makes no sense otherwise, even when factoring in potential AD builds). On one hand, the item's fairly healthy on champions like and, who make really good use of it but who still keep good levels of interaction, and on the other it tends to make some forms of low-counterplay burst even stronger when it shouldn't be the case ( is another champion who depends heavily on Lich Bane to kill squishies in a single WEQ burst). Champions like Fizz, and TF all have pretty big issues, on top of abusing LB, so it might be better to change them first and then see how healthy the item is.
