At the moment Essence Reaver doesn't really look on par with its rival Stormrazor - of course, assuming those two items should be rivals. Even as a first item 5 more AD and 30 AS on ult doesn't really compare to Stormrazor's first crit, 25% AS and 25% more AS and 8% MS on crits.

I'd only see ER over Stormrazor on 5 to 7 AD Marksmen (Graves and Kai'Sa may or may not use it), while Varus and Kog'Maw still prefer Rageblade. Even Ezreal probably wouldn't care unless he has Transcendence or forgoes Ionians. This is obviously ignoring Jayce (although I'd like to see him bot lane, maybe people wouldn't hate him there while he'd work pretty much correctly...), and we're left with 11 ADCs rushing Stormrazor. That's not even counting other roles who may get it as a second or third item.

I don't know, I would have liked more variety. Even with all these "support kill-lane mages" is bought first on less champions.
