In my old build, I bought an early Brutalizer and Ionian's to cap out at 40% cdr with runes and masteries (15% total cdr of which 5% scaling). When I got to the far endgame, the Brutalizer slot was always a bit of a problem slot, because on one hand, I wanted to keep my cdr at 40%, as that's just too strong not to do, but on the other hand both the Brutalizer upgrades are not exactly great. What I started doing at some point, was selling Brutalizer for Infinity Edge and buying a blue pot for the 10% cdr. It worked great, and I remember this 4v5 ranked game, where I at some point basically walked into their base and destroyed four of them (the last one when to fucking backdoor a handicapped team because he couldn't win otherwise) mostly alone.

However, the old pots have been removed, and the new ones don't have any that grant cdr. That has made me think, and I think I now have a solution that frees me up from building a shitty BC or even shitter YG. Currently, I get 5% flat and 5% scaling from my 9 glyphs (6/3). I would need 10% extra not to need Brutalizer and still cap out. The 6 glyphs giving me flat could be replaced by 6 scaling, granting 5% more at level 18, but that leaves another 5% missing. I've thought about the masteries, but it would mean, I believe, an 11/0/19 setup, which means paying with all the deep offense upgrades, like Dangerous Game and Havoc, which costs a lot of damage. However, a single scaling Quint also grants 5% cdr at level 18, capping out at the cost of 2.25 AD and less CDR in the levels 1-5. I would also be able to sell Brutalizer immediately after buying Last Whisper, with it's %pen being much more useful than the flat penetration and the selling gold of Brutalizer being more than a Pickaxe (which grants equal AD). The 10% cdr going away would not be a problem, because after level 9 the cdr per level is overflow as long as I have Brutalizer.

Thoughts?
