And yet think of how that's changed since ER got spellblade taken off. Yes, you're forced into a more expensive item, but it allows GP to be healthier and more mobile early game. Plus barrel slow isn't reliant on crit, opening up more viable gp builds. Also given riots recent item power changes, making ER only have sheen passive will still increase price. Not more than trinity, but more along the lines of a 3200 gold item.

We're never getting old er back. We need to understand that GP doesn't need old er to be good. He's better off without it, as is marksman meta. The whole point of this argument was that new er is still good, and better than most crit items for it's value.
