"I think the spell vamp is to(o) high"

And I think it's fine. I've put some effort into calculating the right amount for a starting item. Also, why is it too high? Support your claims.

"(...) there is some reason roit didnt want to get champs getting spell vamp on their first item."

Yeah, maybe one of the reasons is that Riot has no will/time to think about new item possibilities or just doesn't plan any. Earlygame spellvamp is not OP in any way. Unless you're going to claim that a more effective item called Vampiric Scepter is OP, which heals you on every autoattack that has no cooldown and requires no energy/mana to cast.

"(...) brand could jungle w/ this, as could any mage w/ aoe spells."

I'm beginning to wonder if you even know how Spell vamp works.
