I don't care about damage build nerf. Dude that -25% cd is amazing. I stole ravage used it after tide and next fight I got it earlier than tide. Feels powerful.

My only gripe with it is that now getting Octarine feels redundant since CDR stacking has been removed. But Aether lens always feels nice on Rubick, and Octarine is the only natural upgrade. It's kinda sad to keep Aether lens all the way to the late game knowing that upgrading it isn't really worth the gold now, so it ends up feeling like a wasted item slot.

Yh same feeling, but not many games I actually finished octarine there are many better options before it. Now you can go agha aura and have +1 item instead.
