No, there is not a reason for rageblade to be removed. It would not only nerf the champions that do need it. I personally use rageblade myself.

Kog maw, Varus, Diana (yes I use it on her), Ezreal, Ekko, Evelyn, Mordekaiser, Twisted Fate. I used rageblade on before nerf, it was too strong until they nerfed it but it is good still. Other champions that should make use of it should be able to be reworked into being able to use this other than just gunblade.

Someone like Tryndamere, Irelia and Yi should stay away from building this. The stats at 8 stacks +53 AD, and +48% AS, AP is basically wasted. There are clearly better items that offer about the same AD and the same amount of attack speed that you don't have to worry about building with the momentum on.
