Except the Will of the Ancients was BUFFED, when they increased the AP and removed the mana...because of the Spell Vamp, it makes it the "mana item" for manaless mages...most of which have to manage their resources and gold gain due to being in a crappy state (though that is a problem of those champions needing reworks not the items themselves)...and besides Spell Vamp as a whole is a pretty mediocre stat and Nashor's is already relatively cheap and only Kayle builds it...not even Azir who scales heavily with ATK speed and CDR builds it....it's a mediocre item and you nerfed it further...even for the price reduction it just isn't worth it...
