The problem with MBR is not that the item was weak by itself, but that it had next to no synnergy with anything else. You've probably heard "IE+PD>MBR+Anything" and that's true, because if you want to build damage dealing, how your items work together is as, if not more, important than how they work as singular pieces, hence you dont build MBR to do damage, it's a poor choice.

The reason MBR worked well with WW was precisely because WW does not invest heavily on damage dealing, so getting WE+MBR alone along with perhaps SS and then investing on tankyness and CDR made him both hard to kill AND with a degree of DPS only second to carries. It worked beautifully with his ultimate, which would be on a rather short cooldown and he was able to make good use of all it's parts, AS for DPS/On-hit, Armor for tankyness, damage/OhE for DPS/ultimate, etc. Not to say the item didn't need tweaking, because it did, but it was still good on WW.
