^ It just makes melee (also Riven with her shield) too squishy if you buy it first. One burst from ANYONE and she is dead.

And while the item as total may have been buffed (only lose half of your stacks) the life steal HAS been nerfed.

O, and you get 60 bonus shield. Will really save you more than the 225 health and 30 armor from Phage and Wriggles Lantern, which is about the same price. Also, those two give you 41 attack damage, a 20% chance (or something like that) to one hit enemy minions for easy farming with a melee, equal life steal, and immunity to ganks. Nope. Worthless. And that slow chance is worthless too, when chasing with all your dashes on cooldown. Totally worthless.
