User blog comment:Grrrbear26/Executioner's Calling RIP.. I THINK NOT/@comment-25003900-20141219165939

Well first I would like to say that I very much like the idea of some AD healing reduction. As of right now that's exclusively in the hands of an AP carry through Morellos, or characters with that kind of passive, making Varus extremely valuable against a Soraka or Sona in bot lane. I think that the return of this item would allow you to actually do something meaningful against a Soraka botlane as unless you kill her, the enemy ADC is largely unkillable. With the Passive healing to Soraka through starcall buffed, killing Soraka herself is Also incredibly difficult, especially beacuse you're looking at potentially huge heals based on her missing health in addition to it being potentially doubled if you're unlucky enough to have both of you get hit by the ability. With this kind of ability being used in League of Slows, chances are reasonably high that she hits both of you.

That all being said in half-rant fashion I think that the total cost of the item, may be a touch on the low side when you factor in the additional passive/active. I think I'd like to see the total cost hitting the 3200 mark, perhaps even higher, especially because my preferred passive/active would be the Final Gash. I think it's more fitting to the item theme.

I think that it needs to be costly in order to not make it an automatic buy every game just because of the cheap attack damage, solid crit strike, and butchering active ability.
