User blog comment:Cybersteel8/New Atma's Impaler suggestion/@comment-24795478-20140719151406

The problem with this item is slot and attribute effeciency : it's offer a late game passive ( lots of health = lots of damage ) but itself is suitable for midgame only because of it price ( why bother take a 2300 gold item only provide 45 armor?). Further more no one want crit on a bruiser, all they need are AD, armor pen and CDR, which atma give none of it's beside it's crappy passive. to get to 4000 HP for 60 AD you need at least 2 warmorg (?!) or 3 tank item ( randuin, banshee/SV, and sunfire cape), with boot and this leave you with only 1 last item to optimize leave. And most of the time it's a jungle item because nowaday toplaner barely need to build this shitty item. Damage:get hydra or Maw, armor : get randuin, crit chance : no one need it (except garen AD build and gangplank,even gangplank rarely build this item).

IMO the best change to this item is to change crit chance to AD or Arpen and give it's some CDR (maybe built from brutalizer to get all that stat), with a higher price: brutalizer + chainvest + 847 gold=2900 gold, give 45 armor 30 ad 10 arpen (unique ) 10%CDR (unique) and keep passive the same.
