I love the design of the new Essence Reaver and if it's too weak, it can get buffs (though it might be more that Stormrazor will be too strong). Previous the only items with Attack Speed and AD in any form were Guinsoo's Rageblade, Trinity Force, BotRK...did I miss any? They only have a base of 25/25/40 AD, and I'd personally like more options, especially with more AD.

The new ER and Stormrazor will provide that, helping to fill the void where the old Youmuu's Ghostblade used to be.

If either item is a good first pick for any champion and both items could be good later items for many, there's nothing wrong with them being added. It's OK if most champions still stick to their current first picks. ER's ability makes for a rather different playstyle, so I certainly think that adds variety.

I'm more concerned that Stormrazor's initial crit will make crit builds too undesirable given you can get guaranteed crits without any crit chance %. I'm not sure anyone should be getting Rageblade as a first item anyway as both the damage from its on-hit and the bonus stats are next to nothing until you have some bonus AD or AP anyway (obviously they do though).
