The new BT makes me uneasy. It feels like way too much sustain for 1 item. I have a feeling it will nerfed back down a little in the next patch, something like a 20 sec shield and 18% lifesteal. Being the big sustain item is one thing, but this is the "i have double the lifesteal of bork or reaver and permanent max shield forever" laning item. Getting ahead and getting it early will make you extremely difficult to put any sort of lasting damage on in lane, especially if your support has a heal/shield of their own, you are basically untouchable 2v2, and even if you still lose a trade, you are back up to full hp with a full shield in like 10 seconds. I seem to recall that was the big problem with irelia top lane back in the day (she could play poorly and still be at full hp 90% of the time).
