"Ezreal falls off late game. Reaver's penetration is going to help him at least a bit.

Varus currently needs to buy BotRK later in the game, since the BT nerf hurt him more than anyone else. Penetration's gonna help him too. "

10 armon pen is not a late game stat, thats 2% less damage mitigation to a bruiser, tank, or anyone that picks up a randuins. Why does Varus need to buy Bork late game because BT got nerfed?

"Graves consumes a ton of mana even later in the game, and CDR helps him with E since he can't really keep it up much.

Lucian, like Graves, uses lots of mana. CDR also helps reaching 40%. "

Why don't any of these champs buy Manamune then? Maybe the problem isn't really that these champs need mana items, but that inexperienced players just need to learn to manage their mana, use their AAs more effectively, and buy real stats so they don't lose trades.

"This item isn't meant to substitute BotRK for champions like Vayne - why would I even want them to be built differently when they're doing just fine as they are now?"

I don't think you have the slightest idea what you're discussing now.

Good Game, No Rematch.
