The problem is that it gives lifesteal when you're buying it to be fix mana problems. The lifesteal is completely out of place doesn't serve the purpose of the item. They should replace the Vampiric Scepter with a Forbidden Idol and take away the lifesteal component completely. ADs that want mana and want it NOW, can buy the Forbidden Idol to get their mana regen, and still have it build into a relevant legendary item late-game with an AD item.
