Sorry, but no viscerality can legitimize the cooldown on that thing.

To give an equivalent example of what you are suggesting is basically having an item exactly like but with a 20 second cooldown for the.

As outrageous as a 20 second cd on sounds, it's limited by the fact you can't do anything during  right? Well that's exactly what your counterargument sounds like, SlashingStrike. Just because you are required to build does not mean its enough of a handicap to weigh its power down.

I really don't understand why you would ignore this problem anyways. People can clearly see it and have given appropriate scenarios that shows it to be broken. If I were you, I would just experiment with new numbers and get on with it. Keep these scenarios as refrence for any future items.

If you really want this to have a low cooldown, try something new. You want this to have a low cooldown late game? Have its cooldown drop based on the champion level. Things like this are perfectly possible you know.
