It gets even worse if you take in note that Madred's did 4% of max health as magic damage, which was pretty cool and useful, specially with Kog against Mundo... but this thing is just worthless.

It is a way better idea to get a Bloodthirster and/or an infinity edge instead of this, your overall damage will be higher, Madred's Bloodrazor got hardly countered by some MR, but this, gets countered even more.

If your enemy tank has 5k health, considering he doesnt have any MR, you did roughly 200 extra damage to him with every attack, which, with MR, got reduced to around 120, which was still pretty cool.

But this thing is just unviable, no attack speed at all, just weaker and even more counterable, because if you get your tank to 50% health, damage would be around 50 - 60, which is way less damage than what you would get with a BT instead, with Madred's the 120 damage was ALWAYS.

It is worthless to get it anyway, because squishy carries with no Rylai or FM only get as much as 2k health, that, plus basic MR at that point, is only +50 damage at 100% (25 damage or less below 50%).

BT offers bot higher Lifesteal and Overall damage.

Wait? Haven't you noticed?, this Item does Physical damage, which means that now you don't have Madred's old advantage (or this item on its own), Tanks with lots of armor will fuck this item's passive even harder.

So now, below at 50% you will only be dealing 30 - 40 additional physical damage, and it would just be healing you for 15 - 20 HP.

IMO, this item just takes space, having an upgrade to this would be a shitton better, BT is more viable in many ways, the 100 damage, way more lifesteal (which scales far better).

The only advantage I see on this is its relatively cheap price, which allows it to be rushed early game... where it doesn't work.
