^that's just the thing though. The idea of this item is for the ranged carry (who's typically the person with the most attack speed and the only one who can afford to spend 3800 gold on an item that almost solely gives damage) to buy in order to counter tanks that build nothing but health (since health is essentially the most attractive defensive stat -- it's the only one that does anything against true damage, while also guarding against both types of normal damage at the same time. Plus, it scales with Atma's and FoN, unlike armor and mr, which add nothing outside themselves except on certain champions). The idea that such an item is only considered even viable on but a select few champs shows that it's a failure of an item in its current state.
