The bt changes are way too much. The entire idea of the lifesteal adjustments were to stop "whoever gets bt first wins the lane". But these changes will just put back in "whoever gets bt first wins the lane again". Just the time extension or lifesteal buff would be fine, but with both of them, anyone who gets an early bt will be virtually untouchable in lane thanks to 2x the sustain of the other core items (bork and reaver) as well as a guaranteed permanent maximum shield to win every single trade with. Yes it costs slightly more, but it hands you free lane dominance. The unique lifesteal means essentially nothing. Granted I'm not a bot lane expert, but this just sounds like too much.
