Essence Reaver useless? Gtfo straight back to bronze lol

That item as it is now gives you infinite substain, meaning you will never ever lose your laning phase with those mana hungry spammers. Sure it's not really an useful item at late game, but if you haven't win before that you deserve your lose.

Im really going to suprised if it gets into the game without any nerfs/tweaks.
