The main thing that made it abusive, anon, was that even at rank 1 I had it back up shortly after you returned to lane. Between that and Perseverance, I could be pretty close to peak condition by the time you got back, ready to just kill you again, and all that was without stacking any CDR at all. Yes, it's possible to get 25% CDR with runes and masteries and a Brutalizer still, but that investement, I found, wasn't really worth it before this big buff, as I would do a lot better building tanky and making myself into a living DoT with Atma's, Sunfire Cape, and Force of Nature.
